Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were experimentally infected with Lepeophtheirus salmonis copepodids and aspects of the host’s immune response investigated. Copepodid secretory/excretory product (SEP) produced during early settlement was analysed using fast-protein liquid chromatography (FPLC), sodium...
