Risk Is Not Equal to Impact: The Challenges of Developing a Traffic Light System to Regulate Farmed Salmon Production on an Ecosystem Scale

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We review information on salmon farming production, environmental and climatic variables covering all salmon farming areas in the Patagonia marine ecosystems over a 10‐year period in Chile. With this information, we develop a semi‐quantitative Environmental and Productive Risk Assessment (RA) model as a guide for the design of a Traffic Light ...

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4661-4668, May 2026.
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

It works! Lumpfish can significantly lower sea lice infestation in large-scale salmon farming

Biology Open, 2018
To assess the efficacy of lumpfish grazing on attached sea lice on Atlantic salmon, six large-scale sea cages, (130 m circumference, 37,688 m3 volume) each stocked with approximately 200,000 salmon 0+ smolts, were stocked with a 4, 6 and 8% density (8000,

Health of Wild Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Smolts Along Coastal Migratory Routes in Newfoundland, Canada With and Without Salmonid Aquaculture as Assessed Using Sentinel Cages

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Declines in wild Atlantic salmon populations in the North Atlantic with migratory routes adjacent to commercial salmonid aquaculture operations in coastal marine environments have raised concerns about the potential for direct or indirect effects this industry may have on local wild populations.

Effect of temperature on development rate and egg production in Caligus elongatus and other sea louse species

Aquaculture Environment Interactions
The sea louse Caligus elongatus (Siphonostomatoida, Caligidae) is a generalist ectoparasite commonly found on farmed salmonids in the Atlantic Ocean. Together with the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis and the Chilean sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi ...

Using sentinel cages to estimate infestation pressure on salmonids from sea lice in Loch Shieldaig, Scotland

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2014
Sentinel Atlantic salmon, held in cages, were used to estimate the monthly infestation pressure of sea lice at 3 locations along a salmonid migration route in Loch Shieldaig, a Scottish west coast sea loch.

Scientists' Warning on the Rapid Evolution of Parasites in the Anthropocene

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Human activities are changing the natural world at an accelerating pace, and as a consequence exerting novel and often strong selection pressures on living organisms. For species with traits conferring huge inherent evolutionary potential, like parasites, the outcome may be rapid adaptive responses spanning multiple phenotypic traits. The rise

Mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels from pyrethroid resistant salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) [PDF]

, 2019
Background Parasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) cause high economic losses in Atlantic salmon farming. Pyrethroids, which block arthropod voltage‐gated sodium channels (Nav1), are used for salmon delousing.

Life history and virulence are linked in the ectoparasitic salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012
AbstractModels of virulence evolution for horizontally transmitted parasites often assume that transmission rate (the probability that an infected host infects a susceptible host) and virulence (the increase in host mortality due to infection) are positively correlated, because higher rates of production of propagules may cause more damages to the host.

Effects of salmon lice on numbers and size distributions of Atlantic salmon returning to spawn in Norwegian rivers

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study presents a quantitative relationship between infestations of post‐smolt recruits and size‐structured returns of mature salmon to Norwegian rivers, suggesting that louse infestation from farms may reduce returns of spawners and re‐structure the size distribution of mature river populations of Atlantic salmon.
