Abstract
Sea lice are the most serious pathogens in salmon mariculture and are also found on declining salmon and sea trout populations. Sampling of different populations of sea lice infesting both wild and cultured salmonids will be conducted to investigate their interrelationships. Populations will be discriminated genetically. The mechanism of resistance to Dichlorvos shown by some sea lice populations will be investigated as well as possible side and cross resistance to other chemotherapeutants. The recognition of origin and resistance in populations of sea lice will enhance strategies to combat outbreaks of this parasite in culture systems.
