• A comparison of gene transcription profiles of domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at early life stages, reared under controlled conditions 

      Bicskei, Beatrix; Bron, James E.; Glover, Kevin A.; Taggart, John B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-09)
      Background Atlantic salmon have been subject to domestication for approximately ten generations, beginning in the early 1970s. This process of artificial selection will have created various genetic differences between ...

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that exploit genetic variation in host resistance ...
    • Fluorolice - Final report for FHF project 901508 

      Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Thompson, Cameron; Dalvin, Sussie; Thorsen, Anders; Bui, Samantha; Nordi, Gunnvør á; Bron, James E.; Fordyce, Mark (Rapport fra havforskningen;2021 - 30, Research report, 2021)
      Salmon lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) represent a substantial obstacle for the sustainability of salmon farming (Torrissen, et al. 2013; Vollset, et al. 2018). As such, there are many avenues of research that aim to ...
    • Identification of a Sex-Linked SNP Marker in the Salmon Louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) Using RAD Sequencing 

      Carmichael, Stephen N.; Bakaert, Michaël; Taggart, John B.; Christie, Hayden R. L.; Bassett, David I.; Bron, James E.; Skuce, Philip J.; Gharb, Karim; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Sturm, Armin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-16)
      The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837)) is a parasitic copepod that can, if untreated, cause considerable damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) and incurs significant costs to the Atlantic ...
    • Illuminating the planktonic stages of salmon lice: A unique fluorescence signal for rapid identification of a rare copepod in zooplankton assemblages 

      Thompson, Cameron; Bron, James E.; Bui, Samantha; Dalvin, Sussie; Fordyce, Mark; Furmanek, Tomasz; Nordi, Gunnvør á; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Monitoring of planktonic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis) abundance and parameterization of key life-history traits has been hindered by labour-intensive and error-prone quantification using traditional light ...
    • The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) life cycle has only two chalimus stages 

      Hamre, Lars Are; Eichner, Christiane; Caipang, Christopher; Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Bron, James E.; Nilsen, Frank; Boxshall, Geoffrey; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
    • The Salmon Louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda: Caligidae) Life Cycle Has Only Two Chalimus Stages 

      Hamre, Lars Are; Eichner, Christiane; Caipang, Christopher Marlowe A.; Dalvin, Sussie Trine; Bron, James E.; Nilsen, Frank; Boxshall, Geoff; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-12)
      Each year the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis Kroyer, 1838) causes multi-million dollar commercial losses to the salmon farming industry world-wide, and strict lice control regimes have been put in place to reduce ...
    • Transcriptomic comparison of communally reared wild, domesticated and hybrid Atlantic salmon fry under stress and control conditions 

      Bicskei, Beatrix; Taggart, John B.; Bron, James E.; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Domestication is the process by which organisms become adapted to the human-controlled environment. Since the selection pressures that act upon cultured and natural populations differ, adaptations that favour life in the ...
