Brief Explanations
In parasitism, one organism (parasite) benefits at the expense of another (host). Here, the oceanic isopod benefits by feeding on the fish's tongue and living in its mouth, while the fish is harmed. In mutualism, both organisms benefit; in commensalism, one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed.
