Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014 In Norway, 29 fjords and 52 rivers have been designated for protection in order to prevent the infection of important populations of wild salmonids with salmon lice of farm origin. We evaluated the effect of this protection on the lice infection pressure

Inclusion of photoautotrophic cultivated diatom biomass in salmon feed can deter lice.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed. The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2019 The Norwegian aquaculture industry faces several challenges. One such challenge is the prevalence of salmon lice, which adversely affect both wild and farmed salmon. At the core of the current regulatory regime are mandatory lice counts that are manually

Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background The causal relation between parasitic sea lice on fish farms and sea lice on wild fish is a controversial subject. A specific scientific debate has been whether the statistical association between infestation pressure (IP) from fish farms and ...

Vaccines, 2021 Vaccination against salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a means of control that averts the negative effects of chemical approaches. Here, we studied the immunogenicity and protective effect of a vaccine formulation (based on a salmon lice-gut ...

Lice pressure from salmon farms on wild sea trout (Salmo trutta) in a Norwegian fjord
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis are external parasites on salmonids in the marine environment. However, during recent years, salmon lice abundance has increased due to the presence of salmon farming.

Sea lice and salmon population dynamics: effects of exposure time for migratory fish [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 The ecological impact of parasite transmission from fish farms is probably mediated by the migration of wild fishes, which determines the period of exposure to parasites. For Pacific salmon and the parasitic sea louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis , analysis of the exposure period may resolve conflicting observations of ...

Validating a biophysical parasite model with fish farm pen and plankton trawl data
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021 Biophysical models of parasite dispersal are being increasingly used as a method for screening marine aquaculture developments, whether in establishment of new sites or expansion of existing sites, or planning of farmed fish health management strategies ...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014 Sentinel Atlantic salmon, held in cages, were used to estimate the monthly infestation pressure of sea lice at 3 locations along a salmonid migration route in Loch Shieldaig, a Scottish west coast sea loch.

Pigments, parasites and personalitiy: towards a unifying role for steroid hormones? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A surging interest in the evolution of consistent trait correlations has inspired research on pigment patterns as a correlate of behavioural syndromes, or "animal personalities".
