The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is adapted tosurvive in hostile marine environments of the northern hemisphere,including an ability to parasitize several species of salmon. Salmonids are some of the most economically important andsought after fish for human consumption, and louse parasitism has asignificant impact both on cultured and wild fish populations.Salmon Lice is a timely collection of the latest research onthe cause and spread of lice infestations and management techniquesbeing designed and implemented to combat this issue.
Salmon Lice provides a thorough single volume review ofLepeophtheirus salmonis, the key parasite standing in theway of sustainable and profitable production of salmonid fishesincluding salmon, trout and charr. Opening with a review of thebiology, morphology, life cycle, and larval behavior of theparasite, Salmon Lice proceeds to review the distribution ofplanktonic larvae of salmon lice, addresses management techniquesused in salmonid aquaculture and capture fisheries, provides apractical assessment of the salmon lice issue and explorespotential solutions to the problem.
With comprehensive coverage of the biology and distribution ofthis harmful and ubiquitous parasite, Salmon Lice will be ofvalue to fish health researchers, aquaculture and fisheriesprofessionals, and seafood industry personnel to inform themanagement of both cultured and wild salmonid populations.
Key Features:
* In-depth coverage of a key parasite impacting viability andsustainability of salmonid fisheries and aquaculture
* Integrates parasite biology and hydrodynamic models in diversecoastal ecosystems
* Provides a practical assessment of the salmon louse issue
Reviews international salmon louse monitoring and managementtechniques used in salmonid fisheries and aquaculture
