Using agent-based modelling to predict the role of wild refugia in the evolution of resistance of sea lice to chemotherapeutants [PDF]
, 2015 A major challenge for Atlantic salmon farming in the northern hemisphere is infestation by the sea louse parasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis. The most frequent method of controlling these sea louse infestations is through the use of chemical treatments ...

Changes in epidemiological patterns of sea lice infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in Scotland between 1996 and 2006 [PDF]
, 2008 Analyses of a unique database containing sea lice records over an 11 year period provide evidence of changing infestation patterns in Scotland. The data, collected from more than 50 commercial Atlantic salmon farms, indicate that both species of sea lice

Frontal Filament Morphogenesis in the Salmon Louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]
The Journal of Parasitology, 2001 The objective of the present study was to understand how and when the frontal filament (FF) in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is produced by examining the sequence of morphological changes leading to FF production in the copepodid and early chalimus stages. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were heavily infested with newly molted copepodids.

Identification and characterisation of the ecdysone biosynthetic genes neverland, disembodied and shade in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The salmon louse is a marine ectoparasitic copepod on salmonid fishes. Its lifecycle consists of eight developmental stages, each separated by a molt. In crustaceans and insects, molting and reproduction is controlled by circulating steroid hormones such
