The use of modelling approaches to explore interactions in two aquatic host-pest systems
Modelling is a useful tool that has been applied in both human and animal epidemiological research. A model is a simplified system that represents a much more complex phenomenon. Various types of models are available.

A Review of the parasitic copepods of fish recorded from Ceylon with description of additional forms [PDF]
The beginning of our knowledge of the copepods parasitic on fish from Ceylon is due to Bassett-Smith (1898 a) who, in a paper on "Further New Parasitic Copepods found on Fish in the Indo-Tropical Region", included seven species collected at Trincomalee ...

NORWEGIAN SALMON AQUACULTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND INDUSTRY GROWTH [PDF]
This paper discusses the relationship between industry growth and environmental quality in the context of salmon aquaculture. It is argued that industry growth can reduce pollution by inducing more technological innovations for industry-specific ...

Monitoring parasitic abundance in cage-based aquaculture : the effects of clustering [PDF]
Most discussions of sampling protocols within the literature on monitoring aquatic parasites are based on the assumptions of simple random sampling. There has been a growing recognition within the fields of human and terrestrial veterinary epidemiology ...

Changes in Lepeophtheirus salmonis gene expression during host switching and selection
Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a copepod parasite of salmonid fish, commonly referred to as sea lice, and is particularly pathogenic to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Although endemic on wild salmon, L.

Resistance development to parasiticides has been a problem in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. A major challenge exists in early detection of resistance emergence due to the low frequency at which resistant organisms can occur initially within ...

Chitin synthesis in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis
The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a parasitic copepod that lives and feeds on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salmar). At present, this parasite is the number one threat to the Norwegian aquaculture. The density of salmons living together in aquaculture sea cages gives the salmon lice optimal conditions for infecting and reproducing.

Semigroup analysis of structured populations with distributed states-at-birth arising in mathematical aquaculture [PDF]
Motivated by the modelling of structured parasite populations in aquaculture we consider a class of physiologically structured population models, where individuals may be recruited into the population at different sizes in general. That is, we consider a
