Accurate Wound and Lice Detection in Atlantic Salmon Fish Using a Convolutional Neural Network

open access: yesFishes, 2022
The population living in the coastal region relies heavily on fish as a food source due to their vast availability and low cost. This need has given rise to fish farming.

Sea lice prevention strategies affect cleaner fish delousing efficacy in commercial Atlantic salmon sea cages

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Over the last 2 decades, cleaner fishes have been employed to remove external sea lice parasites from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in sea cages. Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands combined now use ~60 million cleaner fish per year.

Acclimatisation with lice-infested salmon improves cleaner fish lice consumption

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021
Securing the welfare and maximising the lice removal efficacy of ~60 million cleaner fish used each year on salmonid farms is essential to develop a productive and ethical industry with low salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis levels.

Divergent RNA viruses infecting sea lice, major ectoparasites of fish

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Sea lice, the major ectoparasites of fish, have significant economic impacts on wild and farmed finfish, and have been implicated in the decline of wild salmon populations.

Cleaner Fish Do Not Impact the Pigmentation of Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Commercial Aquaculture Cages

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Salmon lice are one of the biggest challenges to sustainable salmonid aquaculture. The species display high evolutionary potential, which is evident by its development of resistance to numerous chemical compounds used for delousing.

Repeated exposure affects susceptibility and responses of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) towards the ectoparasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

open access: yesParasitology, 2023
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is repeatedly exposed to and infected with ectoparasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) both in farms and in nature. However, this is not reflected in laboratory experiments where fish typically are infected only once.

Modelling salmon lice-induced mortality of wild salmon post-smolts is highly sensitive to calibration data

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2022
Salmon lice from fish farms in open net pens pose a threat to the survival of wild salmon post-smolts migrating through areas with high farm and lice densities.

Farmed salmonids drive the abundance, ecology and evolution of parasitic salmon lice in Norway

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021
Sea cage fish farming is typically open to the environment, with disease transmission possible between farmed and wild hosts. In salmonid aquaculture, salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestations cause production losses, reduce welfare for farmed ...

Making the best of lousy circumstances: the impact of salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis on depth preference of sea trout Salmo trutta

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Sea trout are known for seeking out sources of freshwater to rid themselves of salmon lice. However, the effect of natural haloclines in fjords on parasite dynamics is not well understood.

The potential for cleaner fish‐driven evolution in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis: Genetic or environmental control of pigmentation?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The parasitic salmon louse represents one of the biggest challenges to environmentally sustainable salmonid aquaculture across the globe. This species also displays a high evolutionary potential, as demonstrated by its rapid development of resistance to ...
