Argulus (Fish Louse) Infections in Fish
EDIS, 2013 Argulus species (Family: Argulidae), more commonly known as fish lice, are members of a large group of branchiuran parasites that infest and cause disease in fish. The argulids are crustaceans and are related to crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.

Modeling parasite dynamics on farmed salmon for precautionary conservation management of wild salmon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Conservation management of wild fish may include fish health management in sympatric populations of domesticated fish in aquaculture. We developed a mathematical model for the population dynamics of parasitic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) on ...

Parasitic sea louse infestations on wild sea trout: separating the roles of fish farms and temperature [PDF]
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 ...

Complete Mitogenome sequencing of the fish louse Argulus japonicus (Crustacea: Branchiura): Comparative analyses and phylogenetic implications. [PDF]
Front Vet SciThe fish louse Argulus japonicus, a branchiuran crustacean of the Argulidae family, is attracting increasing attention because of its parasitic tendencies and significant health threats to global fish farming. The mitogenomes can yield a foundation for studying epidemiology, genetic diversity, and molecular ecology and therefore may be used to assist ...

Salmon Louse Infestation Impairs the Long‐Term Survival of Sea‐Run Brown Trout [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAnadromous salmonids, including sea‐run brown trout, are exposed to ectoparasitic salmon lice during their sea migrations. The development of intensive aquaculture in coastal areas has promoted louse epidemics by substantially increasing the number of ...

Correlation between body size and fecundity in fish louse Argulus bengalensis Ramakrishna, 1951 (Crustacea: Branchiura). [PDF]
J Parasit Dis, 2013 The life history traits like fecundity and body size are useful predictors of life history strategies of organisms. The information on these aspects provided necessary input for control measures for ectoparasites. In view of this, the variations in the life history traits of the fish louse Argulus bengalensis Ramakrishna (1951) were assessed using age ...

Gene Expression Response to Sea Lice in Atlantic Salmon Skin: RNA Sequencing Comparison Between Resistant and Susceptible Animals [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Sea lice are parasitic copepods that cause large economic losses to salmon aquaculture worldwide. Frequent chemotherapeutic treatments are typically required to control this parasite, and alternative measures such as breeding for improved host resistance

Effects of temporal, geographical and environmental factors on salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) levels of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Ireland [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) poses a major challenge for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture in the northern hemisphere. These ectoparasites feed on the blood, tissue, and mucus of their fish host, causing skin damage, increasing ...
