Sea-lice resistance to chemotherapeutants; diagnosis, mechanisms, dynamics and control | SEARCH | 01-Jan-2001 | Norway (Norwegian School of Veterinary Science) | To investigate and monitor the situation concerning resistance development in sea-lice against chemotherapeutants commonly applied against Lepeophtheirus salmonis in Norway, Scotland, Ireland and eastern Canada. To issue the results and recommendations to the authorities, fish health services and aquaculture industry on how to offset the risk of resistance occurring and how to deal with resistance problems that have already occurred. The work programme includes: the development of bioassays to detect sea lice with reduced chemotherapeutant sensitivity; the characterisation of the underlying methods of resistance; protocol development to monitor the efficacy of sea-lice treatments on farms; development of genetic markers to detect different sea-lice populations; and to disseminate results to the relevant national authorities/bodies. |
Effects of the sealice chemotherapeutant cypermethrin on marine zooplankton | N/A | Sep-1998 | UK (IoA Stirling) | The project investigated the effects of the sealice chemotherapeutant, cypermethrin, on function of biological parameters of the copepod Acartia tonsa and on natural zooplankton communities. Lethal and sub-lethal studies were made using Acartia investigating differences in effect between sex, age and on reproduction potential. Comparisons were made with 'standard' hydrocarbon toxicants. In situ mesocosms were used to investigate the effects of treatments on marine zooplanktonic communities. |
Potential effects of copper from anti-foulant coatings used on sea-cage nets | N/A | Apr-1998 | UK (IoA Stirling) | The study investigates the copper in sediments in the vicinity of fish cages. It investigates the levels of copper species within sediment layers and effects on sediment reworking by polychaete species, using laboratory-based methods. Copper is traced within polychaete tissues to assess its fate when ingested. |

Development of data based models for effective treatment and the environmentally safe use of veterinary methods in the control of sea lice infestation of farmed salmon | N/A | 01-Oct-1999 | UK (Univ. of Strathclyde) | A multidisciplinary research project initiated in response to the LINK Aquaculture call for the development of disease control methods that minimise the use of veterinary medicines as well as the environmental impact of aquaculture operations. The project's scope was informed by a Working Group report to the Co-ordinator of Fisheries Research and Development (June 1998) which recommended that target areas for research should include:; standardisation of data collection methods and the establishment of a central database; the development of mathematical models for sea lice population dynamics; The creation of such models and their appropriate delivery have the potential to: support management decisions; aid the conservation of useful veterinary product; reduce discharge of medicines into the environment |
