A common-garden experiment to quantify evolutionary processes in copepods: the case of emamectin benzoate resistance in the parasitic sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis
Ljungfeldt, Lina; Espedal, Per Gunnar; Nilsen, Frank; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Glover, Kevin A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-19)Background The development of pesticide resistance represents a global challenge to food production. Specifically for the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, parasitic sea lice and their developing resistance to delousing ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution: distribution of pyrethroid resistance in the salmon louse throughout the North Atlantic in the years 2000–2017
Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Espedal, Per Gunnar; Stene, Anne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Aspehaug, Vidar; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The parasitic salmon louse, and its documented resistance to chemotherapeutants, represents the most persistent environmental challenge to global salmonid aquaculture. We used a genetic marker associated with pyrethroid ... -
Evaluation of emamectin benzoate and substance EX against salmon lice in sea-ranched Atlantic salmon smolts
Skilbrei, Ove; Espedal, Per Gunnar; Nilsen, Frank; Garcia, Enrique Perez; Glover, Kevin A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-08)Experimental releases of Atlantic salmon smolts treated with emamectin benzoate (EB) against salmon lice have previously been used to estimate the significance of salmon lice on the survival of migrating smolts. In recent ...
