Geographic redistribution of farmed salmonids reduces salmon lice infestations and treatment frequency in a simulation study [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment InteractionsHost density is a key driver in parasite population dynamics, and often the number of parasites increases rapidly with host density. In the context of Norwegian salmonid farming, this mechanism has led to a disparity between the desire to increase ...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2019 Sea lice are a critical health issue in most salmonid farming regions. New cage-based technologies can prevent infestations from occurring, such as the ‘snorkel’, which introduces an impermeable barrier that separates salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis ...

Epidemiology of Salmonid Rickettsial Septicemia (SRS) in Farmed Salmon: The Role of Sea Lice Infestations in Mortality Risk. [PDF]
J Fish DisABSTRACT Piscirickettsia salmonis, the causal agent of salmonid rickettsial septicemia (SRS), is the main pathogen affecting farmed salmonids in Chile. Outbreaks of SRS lead to substantial economic losses for producers. Many determinants related to SRS outcomes are still poorly understood.

Farmed salmonids drive the abundance, ecology and evolution of parasitic salmon lice in Norway
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021 Sea cage fish farming is typically open to the environment, with disease transmission possible between farmed and wild hosts. In salmonid aquaculture, salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestations cause production losses, reduce welfare for farmed ...
