Microbial communities associated with the parasitic copepod Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]
Marine Genomics, 2020 Abstract Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a naturally occurring marine parasite of salmonid fishes in the Northern hemisphere, and a major problem in salmonid aquaculture. In addition to the direct effects on host fish, L. salmonis may act as a vector for diseases. Here, the microbial community of L.

The salmon louse genome may be much larger than sequencing suggests
Scientific Reports, 2022 The genome size of organisms impacts their evolution and biology and is often assumed to be characteristic of a species. Here we present the first published estimates of genome size of the ecologically and economically important ectoparasite ...

Fishes, 2022 In this review, we have systematized current knowledge about the effect of stocking lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) as cleaner fish to control Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestations on farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).

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.

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.

Identification and Molecular Characterization of Two Acetylcholinesterases from the Salmon Louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important enzyme in cholinergic synapses. Most arthropods have two genes (ace1 and ace2), but only one encodes the predominant synaptic AChE, the main target for organophosphates.

Biology Open, 2020 To achieve efficient and preventive measures against salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer, 1838) infestation, a better understanding of behavioral patterns of the planktonic life stages is key. To investigate light responses in L.

Mechanism behind Resistance against the Organophosphate Azamethiphos in Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the primary target for organophosphates (OP). Several mutations have been reported in AChE to be associated with the reduced sensitivity against OP in various arthropods.

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.
