The identification tools are published articles and books!
Follow Pillai, 1985 for Indian paraisitic copepods!
Ho & Lin, 2004 for Taiwan and in general Sea lice!
Boxshall & Halsey, 2004 for any Copepods!
Thank you sir
i have the book of Pillai 1985
remaining i dont have sir , if possible could you send me sir
If you have Pillai, thats more than enough for Indian Parasitic Copepods! Rest of the books, its better to order through CAS Library!
The most impotant features for identification are 1)form of body 2)kind and proportions of segmnts 3)form of holdfast apparatus. I use abook"Key to Parasites of Freshwater Fish of the USSR" edited by I.E.Bykhovskaya-Pavlovskaya at al.
Try this website which has about 6,000 Russian books:

The book by Z Kabata gives you a good starting point for identification. I am not sure how easy it is to obtain it now, but libraries should have it.
Author(s): KABATA, Z.
Source: Parasitic Copepoda of British Fishes Published: 1979
Publisher: The Ray Society, London
By the way, I wish to recommend for all the colleagues to use "Flora and Fauna Library" (ashipunov.info/shipunov/school/sch-ru.htm). It is the best online library of Russian and Ukrainian books on systematic zoology and botany. The library is completely free and the new items are added almost each month. To me, it is indispensable source of taxonomic books on almost every subject.
Look for "Parasitic copepoda of british fishes" by Z. Kabata (Ray Society, no 151, 1979) and "The parasitic copepdoda and branchiura of British freshwater fishes - a handbook and key" by G. Fryer (Freshwater biological association 1982)
I'm looking some tools about copepods parasites as Peroderma cylindricum,Nothobomolochus fradei, Mitropus oblongus and Clavellisa ilishae on
Sardina pichardus?
thank you for your coolaboration...
