Possible use of lumpfish to control Caligus elongatus infestation on farmed Atlantic salmon: A mini review
In this mini review, we systematized current knowledge about the number of Caligus elongatus on farmed Atlantic salmon in relation to the use of lumpfish as cleaner fish. The review was prompted by reports of an unusually large number of sea lice (C. elongatus) infestation of farmed salmon in northe...
