Ecology of sea lice parasitic on farmed and wild fish
TLDR
The biology and ecology of various louse and host species influence their pathogenicity and epidemiology and this knowledge could be used to take measures to reduce the risks of lice affecting farmed and wild fish.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The global economic cost of sea lice to the salmonid farming industry.
TL;DR: An estimate of sea lice costs to the world salmonid farming industry is provided to stimulate better estimates, and reflect the different costs between parasiticides and for the same parasiticides between countries, and to a lesser extent price changes over time.

Drug resistance in sea lice: a threat to salmonid aquaculture
Stian Mørch Aaen,Kari Olli Helgesen,Marit Jørgensen Bakke,Kiranpreet Kaur,Tor Einar Horsberg +4 more
TL;DR: Medicinal treatment of farmed fish has been the most predictable and efficacious, leading to extensive use of the available compounds, which has resulted in drug-resistant parasites occurring on farmed and possibly wild salmonids.
Journal ArticleDOI
How sea lice from salmon farms may cause wild salmonid declines in Europe and North America and be a threat to fishes elsewhere
TL;DR: The literature is synthesized to provide an understanding of how one species, the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, can infest wild salmonids from farm sources and three-dimensional hydrographic models predicted the distribution of the planktonic salmon lice larvae best when they accounted for wind-driven surface currents and larval behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cost of lice: quantifying the impacts of parasitic sea lice on farmed salmon.
TL;DR: This empirically investigate the biological and economic impacts of observed levels of infective lice in Norwegian salmon farms over an 84-month period, estimating that lice parasitism produced US$436m in damages to the Norwegian industry in 2011.

Propagule dispersal in marine and terrestrial environments: a community perspective
Brian P. Kinlan,Steven D. Gaines +1 more
TL;DR: The results validate some long-standing views about the greater dispersal potential of species in the ocean, but also highlight the extreme heterogeneity in dispersal scale among marine species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lagrangian descriptions of marine larval dispersion
TL;DR: A Lagrangian (or water-parcel-following) description of larval transport is introduced and derived dispersal scales agree well with population-genetic esti- mates, suggesting that the model has reasonable predictive power.

Sealice on Salmonids: Their Biology and Control
A.W. Pike,S.L. Wadsworth +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines the voluminous literature on the biology and control of sealice and brings together ideas for developing the authors' knowledge of these organisms.

A Review of the Impact of Parasitic Copepods on Marine Aquaculture
TL;DR: The global importance of parasitic copepods as disease-causing agents in marine aquaculture is discussed and a brief review of the environmental and husbandry factors that may affect parasiticCopepod abundance and the potential roles that parasiticcopepods play as vectors for other disease agents are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission dynamics of parasitic sea lice from farm to wild salmon
TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of how a single salmon farm altered the natural transmission dynamics of sea lice to juvenile Pacific salmon is reported, which raises the infection pressure from the farm by an additional order of magnitude and creates a composite infection pressure that exceeds ambient levels for 75 km of the two migration routes.
