Abundance and distribution of planktonic Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus in a fish farming region in the Faroe Islands [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015 The abundance of planktonic sea lice in the surface waters of the strait of Sundalagið, Faroe Islands was investigated from November 2013 to June 2014. The strait is 38 km long and hosts 6 salmon farms with coordinated farming cycles.

Characterisation of proteins in excretory/secretory products collected from salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is an ectoparasitic copepod which feeds on the mucus, skin and blood of salmonid fish species. The parasite can persist on the surface of the fish without any effective control being exerted by the ...

An update of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) reference genome assembly [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Salmon lice have plagued the salmon farming industry and have negatively impacted salmon populations in the wild. In response, researchers have generated high density genetic maps, genome assemblies, transcriptomes, and whole-genome resequencing data to ...
