Instar growth and molt increments in Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) chalimus larvae
Parasitology International, 2015 The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ectoparasitic copepod causing severe problems to the fish farming industry and to wild salmonids. Morphologically, all stages in the life cycle of L. salmonis have been described in detail based on successive samples from host populations.

Chitin synthesis in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis
, 2021 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.
