Branchiura is a group of parasitic crustaceans of uncertain position within the Maxillopoda. They are thought to be primitive forms but there is no fossil recorded. The subclass contains one family with around 130 species, all of which are ectoparasites on fish. A few exceptions have been found on amphibians.
