Sea lice remain one of the main problems in salmon farming, with
estimated costs of treatment and losses of fish running to several
million pounds each year in Scotland alone. The use of chemical
methods by the industry has brought adverse publicity and wrasse
(cleaner fish) present an alternative, environmentally friendly
means of biological control. As a result, the demand for wrasse has
spawned a new inshore fishery, and this has led to calls for more
information on the population dynamics and size of stocks. Attempts
are also being made to rear wrasse for stocking. As a consequence
there is considerable interest in cleaner fish technology from fish
farmers and research workers. This book draws together the latest
information on the biology and culture of wrasse, and the use of
wrasse in controlling sea lice.
