The Cost of Lice: Quantifying the Impacts of Parasitic Sea Lice on Farmed Salmon
Marine Resource Economics, 2017 AbstractDiseases are an important challenge in aquaculture. However, most of what is known about the effect of diseases comes from laboratory experiments. Using a farm-level data set containing sea lice infestation counts for all Norwegian salmon farms over an 84-month period, we empirically investigate the biological and economic impacts of observed ...

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.

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.

Gene Expression Response to Sea Lice in Atlantic Salmon Skin: RNA Sequencing Comparison Between Resistant and Susceptible Animals. [PDF]
Front Genet, 2018 Sea lice are parasitic copepods that cause large economic losses to salmon aquaculture worldwide. Frequent chemotherapeutic treatments are typically required to control this parasite, and alternative measures such as breeding for improved host resistance

A model for sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) dynamics in a seasonally changing environment
Epidemics, 2016 Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are a significant source of monetary losses on salmon farms. Sea lice exhibit temperature-dependent development rates and salinity-dependent mortality, but to date no deterministic models have incorporated these ...

Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) life stage impacts atlantic salmon transcriptomic responses under different thermal profiles [PDF]
Frontiers in GeneticsSea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation continues to pose a persistent and escalating challenge to the global salmon aquaculture industry. Given the complexity of host-parasite interactions, family-based transcriptomic studies provide crucial ...

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.

Sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer 1837), infected Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) are more susceptible to infectious salmon anemia virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The role of parasitic sea lice (Siphonostomatoida; Caligidae), especially Lepeophtheirus salmonis, in the epidemiology of Infectious Salmon Anemia Virus (ISAv) has long been suspected.
