Sea Lice Biology and Control (inbunden, eng)

Sea lice are one of the most important and costly health issues for Atlantic salmon aquaculture and for culture of many other marine fish species. In addition, the extent and causes of impacts of sea lice upon wild salmonids has proven a hotly debated issue and one that continues to affect public perceptions of aquaculture.

It is 29 years since the last dedicated book on sea lice biology and management, Pathogens of Wild and Farmed Fish: Sea Lice (Boxshall and Defaye, 1993), and a volume of current perspectives is overdue. The current book updates knowledge concerning the biology and management of sea lice, authored by over 60 world-leading researchers, practitioners and industry experts, written in an accessible and engaging style.

New topics include genomics, vaccinology, physiology and epidemiology, and aspects of interactions with wild fisheries are thoroughly reviewed.Sea Lice Biology and Control is of interest to and provides an invaluable reference for sea lice researchers, parasitologists, students, fish farmers, veterinarians and other fish health professionals, wild fish biologists and managers, regulators, government, fish certification professionals and NGOs.

The book provides an authoritative overview of sea lice and their interactions and gives a clear illustration of the application of the principles of integrated pest management in an aquaculture context.
