Management issues regarding caligidosis treatment on salmon farms in Chile affected by infection salmon anaemia virus (ISAV), Piscirickettsia salmonis and Neoparamoeba perurans
Chile is one of the world's most prolific producers of farmed salmon, but has suffered great economic losses due to fish diseases. In this study, the interactions of treatments for the caligidosis agent Caligus rogercresseyi and major diseases in salmon aquaculture caused by Piscirickettsia sal...

Chile is one of the world's most prolific producers of farmed salmon, but has suffered great economic losses due to fish diseases. In this study, the interactions of treatments for the caligidosis agent Caligus rogercresseyi and major diseases in salmon aquaculture caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis , Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus and Neoparamoeba perurans were determined. This information is essential to develop an integrated management strategy in Chile. Immunosuppression due to fish stress, increased by frequent chemical baths to treat C.rogercresseyi, was considered to be the main source of chronic caligidosis and high prevalence of other diseases. P.salmonis and pathogenic ISAV were detected using PCR analysis at all farms sampled, but N.perurans at one farm in April only. In 2011, individuals of Oncorhynchus mykiss with gill pathology not caused by N.perurans and receiving chemical baths at Farm 1 were affected by 100% prevalence of sea lice.
