Acclimatisation with lice-infested salmon improves cleaner fish lice consumption [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021 Securing the welfare and maximising the lice removal efficacy of ~60 million cleaner fish used each year on salmonid farms is essential to develop a productive and ethical industry with low salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis levels.

The effectiveness of hyposaline treatments against host-attached salmon lice. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Understanding how salinity affects marine parasites is vital to understanding their ecology and treatment, particularly for host-parasite systems that traverse marine and freshwater realms such as the globally important Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar ...

Salmon lice as models for understanding life history evolution of parasites under intensive farming
Journal of Fish Diseases, 2017 Human activities are drastically changing ecological conditions for living organisms and this leads to evolutionary changes. One example is the appearance and spread of resistance against drugs and antibiotics, but we also have evidence that new ...

Sampling planktonic salmon lice in Norwegian fjords [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2019 Risk of mortality of wild salmon caused by salmon lice is used as an index for managing aquaculture production in Norway and is based on monitoring of lice attached to wild salmonids and modelled concentrations of lice larvae in fjords.

Keratinocytes drive the epithelial hyperplasia key to sea lice resistance in coho salmon [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Salmonid species have followed markedly divergent evolutionary trajectories in their interactions with sea lice. While sea lice parasitism poses significant economic, environmental, and animal welfare challenges for Atlantic salmon (Salmo ...

Identifying salmon lice transmission characteristics between Faroese salmon farms [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2018 Sea lice infestations are an increasing challenge in the ever-growing salmon aquaculture sector and cause large economic losses. The high salmon production in a small area creates a perfect habitat for parasites.

Changes in epidemiological patterns of sea lice infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in Scotland between 1996 and 2006 [PDF]
, 2008 Analyses of a unique database containing sea lice records over an 11 year period provide evidence of changing infestation patterns in Scotland. The data, collected from more than 50 commercial Atlantic salmon farms, indicate that both species of sea lice

Salmon lice increase the age of returning Atlantic salmon [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2014 The global increase in the production of domestic farmed fish in open net pens has created concerns about the resilience of wild populations owing to shifts in host–parasite systems in coastal ecosystems. However, little is known about the effects of increased parasite abundance on life-history traits in wild fish populations.
