Ultraviolet-C light suppresses reproduction of sea lice but has adverse effects on host salmon

Data relating to a study of ultraviolet-C irradation as a method to suppress reproduction of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) attached to host salmon (Salmo salar). Production of infective copepodid larvae was reduced, but adverse welfare effect on host salmon were observed. Full details in res...
