Farmed ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is recognised an efficient biological control of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infections in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Wild caught harvesting is putting increased pressure on wild stocks to meet growing demand, therefore, the production of dise...
