Development and application of real-time PCR for specific detection of Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus larvae in Scottish plankton samples [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus are important parasites of wild and cultured salmonids in the Northern Hemisphere. These species, generically referred to as sea lice, are estimated to cost the Scottish aquaculture industry in excess of pound 25 million per annum.

Temperature-driven suitability shifts of sea lice species under climate change and the implications for salmon farming

Aquaculture Environment Interactions
Salmonids are the most valuable marine aquaculture family, worth approximately US$26.2 billion in 2022. However, the industry’s economic value is threatened by sea lice infestations, which can cause production losses and require expensive treatments to ...

Screening of blood and mucus parameters towards breeding for resistance to salmon louse (lepeophtheirus salmonis) in atlantic salmon [PDF]

, 2012
Over the last three decades salmon farmers have experienced serious economic hardships due to losses caused by sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations. In the absence of an effective vaccine, inefficiency of biological control methods and growing

Salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis predominates over Caligus elongatus on Atlantic salmon post-smolts in central and western Norway

Aquaculture Environment Interactions
Atlantic salmon Salmo salar are exposed to parasitic sea lice as they enter the marine environment, particularly in areas with high densities of open net-pen salmon farming, where infestations can reach harmful levels.

Lack of Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) Susceptibility to the Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) Using In Vivo Challenges

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV) can cause disease and mortality in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The virus is endemic in several regions including the Atlantic coast of Canada. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are increasingly utilised as cleaner fish to control sea lice levels in Atlantic salmon farms.

Crowding causes detachment and loss of mobile sea lice: Fine-meshed crowding nets may mitigate spread

Aquaculture Reports
Detachment of mobile lice from salmon during crowding and handling procedures in sea-cage fish farms may lead to loss and unwanted spread of ectoparasitic sea lice to other cages, farms or wild fish.

Health of Wild Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Smolts Along Coastal Migratory Routes in Newfoundland, Canada With and Without Salmonid Aquaculture as Assessed Using Sentinel Cages

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Declines in wild Atlantic salmon populations in the North Atlantic with migratory routes adjacent to commercial salmonid aquaculture operations in coastal marine environments have raised concerns about the potential for direct or indirect effects this industry may have on local wild populations.

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Revisiting Vitamin and Trace Mineral Nutrition in Atlantic Salmon Farming With Emphasis on Fish Health

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon farming is faced with numerous environmental and production‐related challenges affecting fish health and welfare, globally and in Norway. An animal's requirement for a nutrient is the sum of the required supply of available nutrients for maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease resistance.

What are the effects of sea lice on wild and farmed Pacific and Atlantic salmon? A systematic map protocol

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 3, July–September 2025.
This protocol sets out the research methodologies for a systematic map to identify, collate and describe the information that exists on the effects of sea lice from net‐pen salmon farms on wild, enhanced or farmed Pacific (i.e. Chinook, coho, chum, sockeye or pink salmon) and Atlantic salmon globally. The results will help guide further exploration and
