Chemical cues affect behaviour in fish lice (Argulus spp.) and three‐spined stickleback hosts (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We found evidence of mutual recognition of chemical cues between fish lice (Argulus spp.) and three‐spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus). Each manifested changes in movement in response to chemical cues from one another; Argulus increased speed while G. aculeatus decreased theirs.

Diagnosis and Off‐Label Treatment of Subcutaneous Putative Dracunculoid Nematodes in Apteronotus albifrons Originating From Wild‐Caught Fisheries

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apteronotus albifrons (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), commonly known as the black ghost knifefish, is a high‐value ornamental fish that is susceptible to various parasites. The affected fish were wild‐caught fisheries and subsequently introduced into a commercial breeding system.

Assessment of Salinity Tolerance in Lepeophtheirus salmonis Following Five Generations of Freshwater Treatment Selection

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Non‐medicinal approaches for controlling sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations, such as freshwater (FW) treatments, have been increasingly implemented to support more sustainable parasite control in aquaculture. This study evaluated the efficacy of FW treatment against sea lice under controlled experimental conditions and assessed ...

Natural History Note Evolution of Cryptic Coloration in Ectoparasites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
: Cryptic coloration is a classic example of evolution by natural selection. However, it has been studied almost exclusively in predator-prey systems, despite the fact that it may evolve in other groups, such as ectoparasites.
