Salmon‐lice as a potential threat to anadromous Arctic charr populations
AbstractSalmon‐lice have the potential to change the behaviour and growth of their salmonid host species. Here, the baseline infection levels of salmon‐lice of post‐smolts (n = 815) and veteran migrants (n = 875) of sea‐run Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus Linnaeus, 1758) were monitored over two successive years in a sub‐Arctic Norwegian fjord without ...

Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

Acoustic lice treatment (AcuLice) is a newly developed system which uses a composite acoustic sound image with low-frequency sound to remove salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

Effects of salmon lice infection on the behaviour of sea trout in the marine phase
Salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis Krøyer may affect survival and growth of anadromous salmonids through physiological stress and/or behavioural changes.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Consequences of reduced effectiveness of salmon lice treatments for lice control
The effective control of ectoparasitic salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, in fish farms is challenged by the salmon lice having developed resistance towards several antiparasitic drugs and by the effectiveness of non-medicinal treatments being limited by considerations of fish welfare.

The role of parasitic sea lice (Siphonostomatoida; Caligidae), especially Lepeophtheirus salmonis, in the epidemiology of Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAv) has long been suspected.

Toward a model-based prediction system for salmon lice infestation pressure
High salmon lice density is a threat to wild and farmed salmonid fish in Norway. To assess and identify areas for high salmon lice infestation pressure, continuous monitoring is necessary.

Abstract Brown trout (Salmo trutta) has adapted to a wide range of habitats and displays a variety of life‐history strategies. Being facultatively anadromous, populations without migration barriers to the sea consist of both resident and anadromous individuals in different proportions.
