The effect of sea lice on Atlantic Salmon and other salmonid species
Sea lice were historically observed in rather low numbers on wild salmonids, with few adverse effects on the host being reported. Since the late 1980s, however, there have been several reports of sea lice epizootics on salmonids in Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and more recently Canada. Infested post-s...
