Sea lice are one of the most important and costly health issues for
Atlantic salmon aquaculture and for culture of many other marine
fish species. In addition, the extent and causes of impacts of sea
lice upon wild salmonids has proven a hotly debated issue and one
that continues to affect public perceptions of aquaculture. It is
29 years since the last dedicated book on sea lice biology and
management, Pathogens of Wild and Farmed Fish: Sea Lice (Boxshall
and Defaye, 1993), and a volume of current perspectives is overdue.
The current book updates knowledge concerning the biology and
management of sea lice, authored by over 60 world-leading
researchers, practitioners and industry experts, written in an
accessible and engaging style. New topics include genomics,
vaccinology, physiology and epidemiology, and aspects of
interactions with wild fisheries are thoroughly reviewed. Sea Lice
Biology and Control is of interest to and provides an invaluable
reference for sea lice researchers, parasitologists, students, fish
farmers, veterinarians and other fish health professionals, wild
fish biologists and managers, regulators, government, fish
certification professionals and NGOs. The book provides an
authoritative overview of sea lice and their interactions and gives
a clear illustration of the application of the principles of
integrated pest management in an aquaculture context. This volume
covers an impressive array of topics, guiding the community on
their journey towards awareness of the most recent advances in sea
lice biology and through to the latest genomics studies - Prof.

Cleaner fish are increasingly being deployed in aquaculture as a
means of biological control of parasitic sea lice, and consequently
the farming of wrasse and lumpfish, the main cleaner fish species
in current use in salmon farming, is now one of the fastest
expanding aquaculture sectors with over 40 hatcheries in Norway
alone. Cleaner Fish Biology and Aquaculture Applications reviews
and presents new knowledge on the biology of the utilised cleaner
fish species, and provides protocols in cleaner fish rearing,
deployment, health and welfare. The latest knowledge is presented
on specialist technical areas such as cleaner fish nutrition,
genetics, health, immunology and vaccinology, welfare, transport
and fisheries. Specific chapters detail cleaner fish developments
in the main salmon-producing countries. Contributions from over 60
leading researchers and producers give an exciting mix of
information and debate. The book comprehensively addresses the
questions of sustainability of cleaner fish use in aquaculture,
bottlenecks to the optimum production of cleaner fish, and
improvements and best practice in on-farm deployment methods, for
optimum survival and enhanced welfare of cleaner fish. Some of the
key features of this important book: * Provides a comprehensive
review of the latest globally-available information on the use of
cleaner fish under one cover * Highlights and addresses the main
issues in the farming of cleaner fish, and provides guidance on how
to improve growth and survival * Identifies issues in the farm
application of cleaner fish and provides details on how to address
these issues * Written by a team of internationally-recognised
experts in cleaner fish biology, culture and deployment Cleaner
Fish Biology and Aquaculture Applications is an essential purchase
for hatchery managers, salmonid producers, fish farm operatives,
researchers, regulators, students and enthusiasts working with, and
interested in, cleaner fish. Personnel within companies supplying
equipment and services to the aquaculture industry, and libraries
in all universities and research establishments where biological
sciences and aquaculture are studied and taught should have copies
of this landmark publication.
