Cloned and outbred Atlantic salmon display equal parasite dispersion when infected with the salmon louse
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11)The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod that infects salmonids in the marine environment. This parasite causes a major economic and biological challenge to the Atlantic salmon farming industry, and efforts to increase ... -
Genetic analysis of goldsinny wrasse reveals evolutionary insights into population connectivity and potentialevidence of inadverent translocationvia aquaculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The salmon industry is heavily dependent on wrasse for delousing infected fish. The goldsinny wrasse is numerically the most important, and each year, millions are harvested from the wild and transported large distances ... -
Investigating the frequency of triploid Atlantic salmon in wild Norwegian and Russian populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-03)Background Fish may display variations in ploidy, including three sets of chromosomes, known as triploidy. A recent study revealed a frequency of ~ 2% spontaneous (i.e., non-intentional) triploidy in domesticated Atlantic ... -
A pedigree-based experiment reveals variation in salinity and thermal tolerance in the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12)The salmon louse is a highly abundant ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the North Pacific and Atlantic. Widespread and rapid development of resistance to chemical agents used to delouse salmonids on marine farms is now ...
