Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Ingestion of Lepeophtheirus salmonis by the blue mussel Mytilus edulis
Abstract Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) is an exciting alternative approach to mono-culture aquaculture that reduces environmental impacts of commercial aquaculture systems by combining the cultivation of fed aquaculture species (finfish) with extractive aquaculture species (e.g., shellfish and seaweed). This increases the sustainability

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an anadromous fish species of high economic value. However, the sustainability of its aquaculture industry is seriously challenged by salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation. Developing genetic tools to improve host resistance could therefore support selective breeding efforts.

Behaviour and Dispersal of Mobile Salmon Lice When Detached From the Host
ABSTRACT Sea lice can flourish when salmon are farmed in open sea‐cages, necessitating treatments to control outbreaks and reduce larval export. However, mobile ectoparasitic stages can be dislodged during crowding or other procedures, and potentially reinfest farmed or wild fish.

Impact of thermoclines on the vertical distribution of salmon lice larvae
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 ...

ABSTRACT Advances in gene‐editing technologies offer opportunities to improve disease management in aquaculture. Gene‐editing applications for farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) include harnessing innate parasite resistance to protect against salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).

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 ...

ABSTRACT Osmoregulation and ammonia removal are among key physiological processes that take place in gills and affect fish homeostasis and well‐being. These processes can be disrupted by numerous environmental factors, but also by viral infections, especially those leading to severe gill disorders.

The evolution of drug resistant parasitic sea lice is of major concern to the salmon farming industry worldwide and challenges sustainable growth of this enterprise. To assess current status and development of L. salmonis sensitivity towards different pesticides used for parasite control in Norwegian salmon farming, a national surveillance programme ...
