Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory and field investigations of salmon lice [Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer)] infestation on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) post‐smolts
TL;DR: Hatchery-reared 1-year-old Atlantic salmon post-smolts, artificially infected with salmon lice [Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Kroyer)] copepodids, were found to suffer from primary alterations at early lice stages, and secondary alterations, such as osmotic stress (increased chloride levels), first occurred after the preadult stages of the lice appeared.
Journal ArticleDOI
