Pacific and Atlantic Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1838) are allopatric subspecies: Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis and L. salmonis oncorhynchi subspecies novo [PDF]
BMC Genetics, 2014 The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a parasitic copepod that infects salmonids in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Although considered as a single species, morphological and biological differences have been reported between lice from the two oceans.

The influence of environmental factors on the external parasites of saithe Pollachachius virens (L.) [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1995 The influence of age, length and migration pattern of saithe Pollachius virens in relation to infection with external parasites has been studied in three different areas on the west coast of Sweden. A total of six species of parasites were found.

The caligid life cycle: new evidence fromLepeophtheirus elegansreconciles the cycles ofCaligusandLepeophtheirus(Copepoda: Caligidae) [PDF]
Parasite, 2013 The developmental stages of the sea louse Lepeophtheirus elegans (Copepoda: Caligidae) are described from material collected from marine ranched Korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii. In L. elegans, setal number on the proximal segment of the antennule increases from 3 in the copepodid to 27 in the adult.

Aquaculture‐driven evolution of the salmon louse mtDNA genome
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Resistance toward the antiparasitic pyrethroid, deltamethrin, is reported in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis), a persistent ectoparasite of farmed and wild salmonids.

Sea Lice Are Sensitive to Low Frequency Sounds
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a major disease problem in salmonids farming and there are indications that it also plays a role in the decline of wild salmon stocks.

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 We analyzed the infestation of the attached copepod species Lepeophtheirus sp on a wild population of Sciades herzbergii. The infestation and occurrence of attached copepods were related to body size, maturity and sex of host and the presence of lesions ...

Allee Effects May Slow the Spread of Parasites in a Coastal Marine Ecosystem [PDF]
, 2011 Allee effects are thought to mediate the dynamics of population colonization, particularly for invasive species. However, Allee effects acting on parasites have rarely been considered in the analogous process of infectious disease establishment and ...
