      The genome size of organisms impacts their evolution and biology and is often assumed to be characteristic of a species. Here we present the frst published estimates of genome size of the ecologically and economically important ectoparasite, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae). Four independent L. salmonis genome assemblies of the North Atlantic subspecies Lepeophtheirus salmonis ...
