Transcriptomic insights into the low-salinity tolerance of the sea louse Caligus elongatus. [PDF]
Abstract Caligus elongatus is a marine copepod ectoparasite on a wide variety of fish species. It has also been observed on fish farms cultivating Atlantic salmon and reports shows that this parasite can be a problem for the industry and for the fish’s welfare.

Differences in susceptibility of distinct full-sibling families of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, to infection with the sea louse Caligus elongatus were investigated. Infection intensity with mobile stages of sea lice was monitored on 419 individual salmon from 73 full-sibling families held in a single sea pen and exposed to similar numbers of ...

Changes in epidemiological patterns of sea lice infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in Scotland between 1996 and 2006 [PDF]
Analyses of a unique database containing sea lice records over an 11 year period provide evidence of changing infestation patterns in Scotland. The data, collected from more than 50 commercial Atlantic salmon farms, indicate that both species of sea lice

The efficacy of emamectin benzoate against infestations of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) in Scotland, 2002-2006 [PDF]
Infestations of the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis, commonly referred to as sea lice, represent a major challenge to commercial salmon aquaculture. Dependence on a limited number of theraputants to control such infestations has led to concerns

The distribution of exocrine glands in Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus (Copepoda: Caligidae) [PDF]
The morphology, function and distribution of exocrine glands of copepods have rarely been studied in detail and almost nothing is known about them in the sea lice species L. salmonis and C. elongatus. This study utilised a novel application of a light-microscopy staining technique to reveal a variety of glands m nauplius, copepodid, chalimus, preadult ...

By using an integrated morphological and genetic approach, we validated eDNA and zooplankton metabarcoding as a holistic approach to reliably identify marine metazoan fauna in highly dynamic waters of the North Sea. COI metabarcoding outperformed 18S V4 metabarcoding in terms of the number of detected species.
