• A metapopulation model reveals connectivity-driven hotspots in treatment resistance evolution in a marine parasite 

      Coates, Andrew; Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Dempster, Tim; Samsing, Francisca; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Phillips, Ben L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In salmon aquaculture, the sustainable management of salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is limited by the adaptive capacity of the parasite. This is evident in the repeated evolution of pesticide resistance in the salmon ...
    • Applying genetic technologies to combat infectious diseases in aquaculture 

      Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Robledo, Diego; Sveen, Lene; Daniels, Rose Ruiz; Krasnov, Aleksei; Coates, Andrew; Jin, Ye Hwa; Barrett, Luke T.; Lillehammer, Marie; Kettunen, Anne Helena; Phillips, Ben L.; Dempster, Tim; Doeschl-Wilson, Andrea; Samsing, Francisca; Difford, Gareth Frank; Salisbury, Sarah; Gjerde, Bjarne; Haugen, John-Erik; Burgerhout, Erik; Dagnachew, Binyam Sime; Kurian, Dominic; Fast, Mark D.; Rye, Morten; Salazar, Marcela; Bron, James E.; Monaghan, Sean J.; Jacq, Celeste; Birkett, Mike; Browman, Howard I.; Skiftesvik, Anne Berit; Fields, David M.; Selander, Erik; Bui, Samantha; Sonesson, Anna Kristina; Skugor, Stanko; Østbye, Tone-Kari K; Houston, Ross D. (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 ...
    • Evolutionary predictions for a parasite metapopulation: Modelling salmon louse resistance to pest controls in aquaculture 

      Coates, Andrew; Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Dempster, Tim; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Phillips, Ben L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Pests often evolve resistance to pest controls used in agriculture and aquaculture. The rate of pest adaptation is influenced by the type of control, the selective pressure it imposes, and the gene flow between farms. By ...
    • Prevention not cure: a review of methods to avoid sea lice infestations in salmon 1 aquaculture 

      Barrett, Luke T.; Oppedal, Frode; Robinson, Nicholas Andrew; Dempster, Tim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry still struggles with ectoparasitic sea lice despite decades of research and development invested into louse removal methods. In contrast, methods to prevent infestations before they ...
