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 ...

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.

Identification of a sex-linked SNP marker in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) using RAD sequencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837)) is a parasitic copepod that can, if untreated, cause considerable damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) and incurs significant costs to the Atlantic salmon mariculture ...

Timing is everything: Survival of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar postsmolts during events of high salmon lice densities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
1. Atlantic salmon in aquaculture act as reservoir hosts and vectors of parasites like salmon lice and this parasite is shown to harm wild salmonid populations. 2.

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.

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 ...

Large scale modelling of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infection pressure based on lice monitoring data from Norwegian salmonid farms

open access: yesEpidemics, 2014
Infection by parasitic sea lice is a substantial problem in industrial scale salmon farming. To control the problem, Norwegian salmonid farms are not permitted to exceed a threshold level of infection on their fish, and farms are required to monitor and ...

Inclusion of photoautotrophic cultivated diatom biomass in salmon feed can deter lice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed. The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.
