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 ...

‘Snorkel’ sea lice barrier technology reduces sea lice loads on harvest-sized Atlantic salmon with minimal welfare impacts [PDF]
Aquaculture, 2016 AbstractThe infestation of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by ectoparasitic sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) presents a need for new approaches to parasite control. One option is the use of ‘snorkel’ sea lice barrier technology, which restricts salmon from accessing the surface except via a vertical chamber impermeable to sea lice larvae.

Understanding sources of sea lice for salmon farms in Chile [PDF]
Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2013 The decline of fisheries over recent decades and a growing human population has coincided with an increase in aquaculture production. As farmed fish densities increase, so have their rates of infectious diseases, as predicted by the theory of density-dependent disease transmission.

Time-series clustering of cage-level sea lice data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer) are a major ectoparasite affecting farmed Atlantic salmon in most major salmon producing regions. Substantial resources are applied to sea lice control and the development of new technologies towards this end ...

Timing and probability of arrival for sea lice dispersing between salmon farms [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Sea lice are a threat to the health of both wild and farmed salmon and an economic burden for salmon farms. With a free-living larval stage, sea lice can disperse tens of kilometres in the ocean between salmon farms, leading to connected sea louse ...

Divergent RNA viruses infecting sea lice, major ectoparasites of fish [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Sea lice, the major ectoparasites of fish, have significant economic impacts on wild and farmed finfish, and have been implicated in the decline of wild salmon populations.

Exploring Sea Lice Vaccines against Early Stages of Infestation in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) [PDF]
Vaccines, 2022 The sea louse Caligus rogercresseyi genome has opened the opportunity to apply the reverse vaccinology strategy for identifying antigens with potential effects on lice development and its application in sea lice control.

Genome-scale comparative analysis for host resistance against sea lice between Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sea lice (Caligus rogercresseyi) is an ectoparasite which causes major production losses in the salmon aquaculture industry worldwide. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are two of the most susceptible salmonid species ...

Emamectin Benzoate Treatment of Hybrid Grouper Infected With Sea Lice in Hong Kong [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Sea lice (Copepoda: Caligidae) are ectoparasites which negatively impact marine aquaculture species around the world. There are a limited number of treatments licensed for use against sea lice in tropical and semi-tropical farmed fish species.

The control of sea lice in Atlantic salmon by selective breeding [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015 Sea lice threaten the welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon and the sustainability of fish farming across the world. Chemical treatments are the major method of control but drug resistance means that alternatives are urgently needed. Selective breeding can be a cheap and effective alternative.
