Prediction of the salmon lice infestation pressure in a Norwegian fjord [PDF]

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 2020
AbstractA further growth in the Norwegian aquaculture industry might potentially be hampered by the conclusion that it is not environmentally sustainable. As direct measurements of the lice induced mortality on wild salmonids are impossible, the management is based on a set of high-quality and well-documented sustainability indicators. These indicators

Factors associated with changing efficacy of emamectin benzoate against infestations of Lepeophtheirus salmonison Scottish salmon farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The availability and use of medicines to control infestations of sea lice on Atlantic salmon, Salmosalar L., farms in Scotland has changed considerably in the last decade (Lees, Gettinby & Revie 2008b).

Organophosphate Poisoning of Atlantic Salmon in Connection with Treatment against Salmon Lice [PDF]

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1989
Three incidents with high mortality in Atlantic salmon after trichlorfon treatment against salmon lice are described. All 3 incidents occurred at water temperatures of 12 degrees C or higher. The mean brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of dead fish was less than 20% of normal activity, while survivors showed mean activities of 22-61% of normal ...

A statistical mechanistic approach including temperature and salinity effects to improve salmon lice modelling of infestation pressure

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021
Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis pose a major threat to the sustainable development of salmonid farming. To investigate effects of farm-origin salmon lice on wild salmonids, salmon lice dynamics are typically simulated using models that depend on ...

The use of prevalence as a measure of lice burden: a case study of Lepeophtheirus salmonis on Scottish Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study investigates the benefits of using prevalence as a summary measure of sea lice infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. Aspects such as sampling effort, the relationship between abundance and prevalence arising from the negative ...

Quantifying the contribution of sea lice from aquaculture to declining annual returns in a wild Atlantic salmon population

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2017
Atlantic salmon Salmo salar has shown declines in abundance associated with reduced survival during marine life stages. Key impacts on survival may include a changing ocean environment and salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis infestation from aquaculture.

Sea louse infection of juvenile sockeye salmon in relation to marine salmon farms on Canada's west coast.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundPathogens are growing threats to wildlife. The rapid growth of marine salmon farms over the past two decades has increased host abundance for pathogenic sea lice in coastal waters, and wild juvenile salmon swimming past farms are frequently ...

Lice pressure from salmon farms on wild sea trout (Salmo trutta) in a Norwegian fjord

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis are external parasites on salmonids in the marine environment. However, during recent years, salmon lice abundance has increased due to the presence of salmon farming.

Modelling salmon lice-induced mortality of wild salmon post-smolts is highly sensitive to calibration data

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2022
Salmon lice from fish farms in open net pens pose a threat to the survival of wild salmon post-smolts migrating through areas with high farm and lice densities.

Salmon lice treatments and salmon mortality in Norwegian aquaculture: a review [PDF]

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, 2018
AbstractWith the expansion of Atlantic salmon aquaculture, the economic and ecological impacts of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) has increased. Norway battles this problematic parasite with various control and preventative methods within farms. We analysed two national‐level databases to examine the number of operations reported each year from ...
