Individual fish tank arrays in studies of Lepeophtheirus salmonis and lice loss variability [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011
In studies of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837), experimental design is complicated by a highly variable and unpredictable lice loss among common experimental tanks and a substantial rate of host transfer within tanks. When fish hosting L. salmonis are maintained in individual tanks, unspecific effects such as host transfer, louse

Generation of quantifiable knowledge about delouse treatments of salmon – The case of Hydrolicer®/Hydroflow treatments

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Controlling the salmon lice problem is at the very core of the salmon farming industry’s growth challenges. One group of methods to control lice is the mechanical treatment methods.

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.

Salmon lice dispersion in a northern Norwegian fjord system and the impact of vertical movements

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016
The abundance and distribution of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmons originating from fish farms in a northern Norwegian fjord during the summer of 2010 was investigated by means of a numerical model, underpinned by field observations.

Heritability of Immunity Traits and Resistance of Atlantic Salmon against the Sea Louse Caligus rogercresseyi

Biology, 2023
The immune response of Atlantic salmon to sea lice has been extensively studied, but we still do not know the mechanisms by which some fish become resistant and others do not.

Effects of salmon lice infection on the behaviour of sea trout in the marine phase

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014
Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer may affect survival and growth of anadromous salmonids through physiological stress and/or behavioural changes.

Sea Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) Infestation Reduces the Ability of Peripheral Blood Monocytic Cells (PBMCs) to Respond to and Control Replication of Salmonid Alphavirus in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

Viruses, 2020
Here we have studied the impact of lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation of donor fish on the ability of isolated peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) to control the replication of salmonid alphavirus (SAV) ex vivo.

Simulated effects of increasing salmonid production on sea lice populations in Norway

Epidemics, 2021
Norway produces more than one million tonnes of salmonids every year, almost exclusively in open-water net pens. In 2014, the Norwegian government announced plans to increase salmonid production.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

First report of winter epizootic of salmon lice on sea trout in Norway

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014
Here we report on the first observation of a winter epizootic of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer on sea trout Salmo trutta Linnaeus in a Norwegian fjord with intensive salmon farming.
