Sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus , levels on salmon returning to the west coast of Ireland, 2003
Mobile lice levels of two species of sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus , were examined on two samples of Atlantic salmon from the west coast of Ireland. The samples examined were taken two weeks apart from salmon caught by drift net in June 2003 at two different locations off t...

Both samples of salmon caught were comparable in terms of numbers of total lice counted. No significant differences in male, female and ovigerous L. salmonis levels between the two samples were recorded, however, a significant difference was recorded between juvenile L. salmonis levels.
