Impact of thermoclines on the vertical distribution of salmon lice larvae

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis, a key parasite of salmonids, is managed by multiple methods at both salmon farm- and ecosystem-scale that are informed by an understanding of the abundance and distribution of the infective, planktonic stage of the ...

The Disease Burden in Fish Farm Management: An Integrative View and a Specific Vision in Europe

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In aquaculture, the interactions and balance—or imbalance—between the fish, the rearing environment, pathogens, and farm management determine the occurrence and impact of clinical diseases. The global assessment of the factors related to disease impact is commonly referred to as disease burden.

Revisiting Vitamin and Trace Mineral Nutrition in Atlantic Salmon Farming With Emphasis on Fish Health

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Atlantic salmon farming is faced with numerous environmental and production‐related challenges affecting fish health and welfare, globally and in Norway. An animal's requirement for a nutrient is the sum of the required supply of available nutrients for maintenance, growth, reproduction, health, and disease resistance.

Characterisation of proteins in excretory/secretory products collected from salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is an ectoparasitic copepod which feeds on the mucus, skin and blood of salmonid fish species. The parasite can persist on the surface of the fish without any effective control being exerted by the ...

Pathogens From Salmon Aquaculture in Relation to Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon in Canada: An Alternative Perspective

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Several articles over the last two decades have provided data, analyses and interpretations that suggest there are significant impacts of pathogens transmitted from farmed salmon on wild Pacific salmon populations in British Columbia (BC), the westernmost province of Canada.

Salmon Louse Infestation Impairs the Long‐Term Survival of Sea‐Run Brown Trout

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations significantly impair the survival of sea‐run brown trout (Salmo trutta), with a 73% reduction in survival probability per louse per gram of fish weight in 2020 and a 58% reduction in 2021. Our findings provide clear evidence of the long‐term ecological impacts of parasite burdens and underscore the ...

Host–parasite transcriptomics during immunostimulant-enhanced rejection of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) by Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

FACETS, 2017
Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are important ectoparasites of wild and farmed salmonids and cause major losses to the salmon farming industry throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

First report of reduced sensitivity towards hydrogen peroxide found in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis in Norway

Aquaculture Reports, 2015
Reduced sensitivity towards chemotherapeutants in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer) is an increasing problem for the fish farming industry.

High resolution depth profile scanning of plankton organisms—VERTILICE

MethodsX
Knowledge of the vertical migration pattern of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) copepodites is necessary for designing efficient measures to prevent lice infestations on farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) in sea-cages.

Parasitic sea louse infestations on wild sea trout: separating the roles of fish farms and temperature

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The causal relation between parasitic sea lice on fish farms and sea lice on wild fish is a controversial subject. A specific scientific debate has been whether the statistical association between infestation pressure (IP) from fish farms and ...
