Worm/parasite on redfish

Been catching a lot of reds with weird worm/parasite things on the fins and tail. Does anyone know anything about these? Would this be a concern if I consumed a fish that had them? [image] [image] 17’ Mako //90hp Mercury 16’ Alumacraft // 20hp Yamaha 14’ War Eagle // 9.8hp Tohatsu
