Sea lice prevention strategies affect cleaner fish delousing efficacy in commercial Atlantic salmon sea cages

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Over the last 2 decades, cleaner fishes have been employed to remove external sea lice parasites from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in sea cages. Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands combined now use ~60 million cleaner fish per year.

Validation of a sea lice dispersal model: principles from ecological agent-based models applied to aquatic epidemiology

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2021
Sea lice are one of the most economically costly and ecologically concerning problems facing the salmon farming industry. Here, we validated a coupled biological and physical model that simulated sea lice larvae dispersal from salmon farms in the ...

Using state-space models to predict the abundance of juvenile and adult sea lice on Atlantic salmon

open access: yesEpidemics, 2018
Sea lice are marine parasites affecting salmon farms, and are considered one of the most costly pests of the salmon aquaculture industry. Infestations of sea lice on farms significantly increase opportunities for the parasite to spread in the surrounding

Negative association of sea lice from fish farms on recreational fishing catches of Atlantic salmon

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology
The question of whether and to what extent sea‐louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations from salmon farms influence wild Atlantic salmon survival has been subject to sustained scientific debate and political controversy.

Personality profiling may help select better cleaner fish for sea-lice control in salmon farming

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) are increasingly being used as cleaner fish to control parasitic sea-lice in salmon farming, but cleaning rates are very variable and not all individuals eat sea-lice, which increases the risk of emaciation and has ethical ...

A model for sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) dynamics in a seasonally changing environment

open access: yesEpidemics, 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 ...

Coping styles in farmed fish: consequences for aquaculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Individual differences in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors are increasingly recognised as adaptive variation and thus raw material for evolution and fish farming improvements including selective breeding. Such individual variation has

Effects of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on wild sea trout Salmo trutta—a literature review

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2015
Salmon farming increases the abundance of salmon lice, which are ectoparasites of salmonids in the sea. Here we review the current knowledge on the effects of salmon lice on wild sea trout. Salmon lice feed on host mucus, skin and muscle, and infestation

Sea lice infestation level alters salmon swimming depth in sea-cages [PDF]

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016
Host-parasite systems are often characterised by a co-evolutionary arms race, with avoidance behaviour being the first line of defence for hosts. In aquatic ecosystems, the rapid rise of fish farming has elevated host abundance, altering the context of host-parasite interactions.
