Salmon louse labial gland enzymes: implications for host settlement and immune modulation
Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a skin- and blood-feeding ectoparasite, infesting salmonids. While feeding, labial gland proteins from the salmon louse may be deposited on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin.

Ultrastructure of the cuticle of chalimus larva of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Kroyer, 1837) (Copepoda, Caligidae) [PDF]
The cuticle of the chalimus II stage of Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) comprised a four-layered epicuticle with a pronounced fuzzy coat which was separated from the outer and inner procuticles by a layer of transitional procuticle.

Moulting in the chalimus larva of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) [PDF]
The ultrastructure of moulting in the chalimus phase of the parasitic caligid copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis is described for the first time. The major features of the moult sequence correspond to those of other Crustacea, save for the absence of a ...

Instar growth and Development of Lepeophtheirus salmonis Copepodids.
Salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis, (Krøyer, 1837) is a caligid parasite, responsible for major economical loss and welfare issues in Norwegian marine culture of salmonid species. Infections are mainly controlled with chemical measures, but there is emerging evidence that the monotonous use of chemicals has resulted in reduced sensitivity towards the
