Sea Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) Harbour Putative Fish Pathogens: Insights From Illumina and Nanopore Sequencing. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Ectoparasites that penetrate host skin can act as biological or mechanical vectors for pathogens and, in some cases, serve as reservoirs. Crustacean ectoparasites of fish are potential vectors of pathogens, which is especially relevant for obligate pathogens (e.g., Aeromonas salmonicida) with limited seawater survival. Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus

Global patterns of modularity and narrow host use in fish-parasitic copepods (Crustacea). [PDF]
Biodivers Data JParasitic copepods are amongst the most diverse and ecologically significant parasites of fish, yet their macroecological patterns remain poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive dataset of fish–copepod associations was obtained and curated from

Behaviour and Dispersal of Mobile Salmon Lice When Detached From the Host. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Sea lice can flourish when salmon are farmed in open sea‐cages, necessitating treatments to control outbreaks and reduce larval export. However, mobile ectoparasitic stages can be dislodged during crowding or other procedures, and potentially reinfest farmed or wild fish.

It works! Lumpfish can significantly lower sea lice infestation in large-scale salmon farming. [PDF]
Biol Open, 2018 To assess the efficacy of lumpfish grazing on attached sea lice on Atlantic salmon, six large-scale sea cages, (130 m circumference, 37,688 m3 volume) each stocked with approximately 200,000 salmon 0+ smolts, were stocked with a 4, 6 and 8% density (8000,

Applying genetic technologies to combat infectious diseases in aquaculture. [PDF]
Rev Aquac, 2023 Abstract Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that exploit genetic variation in host resistance to tackle this problem.

Interspecific differences between Atlantic salmon and Arctic charr in susceptibility to infection with larval and adult Caligus elongatus: effect of skin mucus protein profiles and epidermal histological differences [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2005 Background. Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), are known to harbour significantly more sea lice, Caligus elongatus von Nordmann, 1832, than do Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.

The influence of environmental factors on the external parasites of saithe Pollachachius virens (L.) [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1995 The influence of age, length and migration pattern of saithe Pollachius virens in relation to infection with external parasites has been studied in three different areas on the west coast of Sweden. A total of six species of parasites were found.
