Salmon Lice
An Integrated Approach to Understanding Parasite Abundance and Distribution
The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is adapted to survive in hostile marine
Salmon Lice
S
environments of the northern hemisphere, including an ability to parasitize several species
of salmon. Salmonids are some of the most economically important and sought after fish
a
for human consumption, and louse parasitism has a significant impact both on cultured
and wild fish populations. Salmon Lice is a timely collection of the latest research on the
l
cause and spread of lice infestations and management techniques being designed and
m
implemented to combat this issue.
Salmon Lice provides a thorough single volume review of Lepeophtheirus salmonis, the key
An Integrated Approach to Understanding Parasite
parasite standing in the way of sustainable and profitable production of salmonid fishes
o
including salmon, trout, and charr. Opening with a review of the biology, morphology, life
Abundance and Distribution
cycle, and larval behavior of the parasite, Salmon Lice proceeds to review the distribution
n
of planktonic larvae of salmon lice, addresses management techniques used in salmonid
aquaculture and capture fisheries, provides a practical assessment of the salmon lice issue,
and explores potential solutions to the problem.
L
With comprehensive coverage of the biology and distribution of this harmful and
ubiquitous parasite, Salmon Lice will be of value to fish health researchers, aquaculture and i
fisheries professionals, and seafood industry personnel to inform the management of both c
cultured and wild salmonid populations.
