The development of the Norwegian wrasse fishery and the use of wrasses as cleaner fish in the salmon aquaculture industry
Norway leads the world aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and farmed Norwegian Atlantic salmon is currently consumed around the globe. However, sea lice infestation is a major problem faced by the salmon aquaculture industry in Norway and elsewhere. The use of wild-caught cleaner...
