Evidence for the Evolution of Resistance to Non‐Chemical Parasite Controls: Salmon Lice From Submerged Cages Produce Larvae That Swim Deeper [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsSalmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) pose a major challenge to the sustainability of salmon aquaculture due to their capacity to rapidly evolve resistance to parasite control methods.

Behaviour and Dispersal of Mobile Salmon Lice When Detached From the Host. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Sea lice can flourish when salmon are farmed in open sea‐cages, necessitating treatments to control outbreaks and reduce larval export. However, mobile ectoparasitic stages can be dislodged during crowding or other procedures, and potentially reinfest farmed or wild fish.

Salmon Louse Infestation Impairs the Long-Term Survival of Sea-Run Brown Trout. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSalmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations significantly impair the survival of sea‐run brown trout (Salmo trutta), with a 73% reduction in survival probability per louse per gram of fish weight in 2020 and a 58% reduction in 2021. Our findings provide clear evidence of the long‐term ecological impacts of parasite burdens and underscore the ...
