Abstract: This article discusses the etiology, epizootology, and modern control methods of argulosis, a dangerous ectoparasitic disease of carp fish caused by crustaceans of the genus Argulus. The life cycle of the parasite, the mechanisms of its pathogenic effects on the host organism, and the factors contributing to the widespread dissemination of the invasion under aquaculture conditions are described. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the seasonal dynamics of the disease and the influence of the hydrochemical regime of water bodies on the intensity of infestation. The paper presents comprehensive therapeutic and preventive measures, including the application of modern chemical preparations, biological methods for controlling parasite populations, and fishery-reclamation techniques aimed at disrupting the life cycle of the pathogen.
