Effects of salmon lice infection and salmon lice protection on fjord migrating Atlantic salmon and brown trout post-smolts
Effects of artificial salmon lice infection and pharmaceutical salmon lice prophylaxis on survival and rate of progression of Atlantic salmon (n = 72) and brown trout post-smolts (n = 72) during their fjord migration, were studied by telemetry. The infected groups were artificially exposed to infect...
