Epidemic infestation by the crustacean ectoparasitic salmon
lice (Lepeophteirus salmonis) is a major problem in marine
salmon farming.
Cleaning symbiosis between different labrid species and lice
infested salmon is described, and the possible application of
this principle in full scale salmon farming is discussed.
