The commonest caligid copepod infesting commercial salmonid netpen systems in southern Chile is described as a new species, Caligus rogercresseyi. This species belongs to the macarovigroup of species within the genus. It differs from Caligus flexispina Lewis 1964, with which it has previously been confused, in several important characters. These include the relatively elongate caudal rami, the proportions of the female genital complex and of the male abdomen, and the armature and ornamentation of the antenna in both sexes. The form of the sensillae associated with the postantennal process and the form of the male maxilliped are identified as possible additional diagnostic characters of the macarovi-group.

- A review of the biology and genetics of sea lice (2006, background): “A larger number of species occur on farmed Atlantic salmon in Pacific waters off the coasts of Canada and Chile, but C. clemensi has been reported in several studies (Carvajal et al., 1998; Boxshall and Bravo, 2000; Bravo, 2003; Johnson et al., 2004).”
- Life cycle of Caligus rogercresseyi, (Copepoda: Caligidae) parasite of Chilean reared salmonids (2003, background): “The average length of adult females described by Boxshall and Bravo (2000), 4.96 mm (range: 4.46–5.49 mm), is similar to the length observed in the present work, 4.79 (4.35–5.3) mm.”
