Cleaner Fish Do Not Impact the Pigmentation of Salmon Lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Commercial Aquaculture Cages
Imsland, Albert; Berg, Jon Petter; Nola, Velimir; Geitung, Lena; Oldham, Tina Marie Wier (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-10)Salmon lice are one of the biggest challenges to sustainable salmonid aquaculture. The species display high evolutionary potential, which is evident by its development of resistance to numerous chemical compounds used for ... -
Cleaner fish growth, welfare and survival in Atlantic salmon sea cages during an autumn-winter production
Geitung, Lena; Wright, Daniel William; Oppedal, Frode; Stien, Lars Helge; Vågseth, Tone; Madaro, Angelico (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cleaner fish used as a biological control agent against salmon lice is rapidly increasing in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. However, concerns have been raised about the welfare and mortality of cleaner fish in salmon cage ... -
Complexities in commercial scale use of non-invasive controls against parasites in aquaculture
Geitung, Lena (Doctoral thesis, 2021-06-30)Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are one of the major challenges faced by the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry. Due to the risk of poor welfare outcomes and high mortality during treatments against ... -
Salmon lice survive the straight shooter: A commercial scale sea cage trial of laser delousing
Bui, Samantha; Geitung, Lena; Oppedal, Frode; Barrett, Luke T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ectoparasitic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations are costly for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farmers in Norway. As a result, there is a strong desire for solutions to prevent and control infestations, and ... -
Snorkel sea-cage technology decreases salmon louse infestation by 75% in a full-cycle commercial test
Geitung, Lena; Oppedal, Frode; Stien, Lars Helge; Dempster, Timothy David; Karlsbakk, Egil; Nola, Velimir; Wright, Daniel William (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-13)Methods to prevent parasite infestations in farmed fish are becoming widespread, yet tests of their effectiveness often lack commercial relevance and statistical power, which may lead to technology misuse. Here, we examined ... -
Surface environment modification in Atlantic salmon sea-cages: Effects on amoebic gill disease, salmon lice, growth and welfare
Wright, Daniel William; Geitung, Lena; Karlsbakk, Egil; Stien, Lars Helge; Dempster, Timothy David; Oldham, Tina; Nola, Velimir; Oppedal, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Surface environment modification is a potential parasite control strategy in Atlantic salmon sea-cage farming. For instance, a temporary low salinity surface layer in commercial-scale snorkel sea-cages has coincided with ... -
Tapeworm (Eubothrium sp.) infestation in sea caged Atlantic salmon decreased by lice barrier snorkels during a commercial-scale study
Geitung, Lena; Wright, Daniel W.; Stien, Lars Helge; Oppedal, Frode; Karlsbakk, Egil (Journal article, 2021)Reports of infestation by marine parasitic tapeworms (Eubothrium sp.) and an associated growth reduction in Norwegian farmed salmon are on the rise. With few acceptable treatment options available, due to drug resistance ...
