Using Agent-Based Modelling to Predict the Role of Wild Refugia in the Evolution of Resistance of Sea Lice to Chemotherapeutants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A major challenge for Atlantic salmon farming in the northern hemisphere is infestation by the sea louse parasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis. The most frequent method of controlling these sea louse infestations is through the use of chemical treatments ...

Does density influence relative growth performance of farm, wild and F1 hybrid Atlantic salmon in semi-natural and hatchery common garden conditions? [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The conditions encountered by Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in aquaculture are markedly different from the natural environment. Typically, farmed salmon experience much higher densities than wild individuals, and may therefore have adapted to living ...

Artificial reproduction and status of stock for pacific salmon
Известия ТИНРО, 2022 Artificial reproduction of pacific salmon in the Russian Far East, as a rule, is carried out with gross violations of scientific recommendations. Perhaps, that’s why positive and negative effects of the salmon farming largely neutralize each other.

Salmon lice in the Pacific Ocean show evidence of evolved resistance to parasiticide treatment
Scientific Reports, 2022 Parasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) threaten the economic and ecological sustainability of salmon farming, and their evolved resistance to treatment with emamectin benzoate (EMB) has been a major problem for salmon farming in the Atlantic ...
