Do water temperature and flow affect sea lice development and settlement? Aquaculture Association of Canada Special Publication 5 53 55 Aquaculture Canada 2001 - Proceedings of the contributed papers of the 18th Annual Meeting of the Aquaculture Association of Canada, Halifax, NS, May 6-9 Mustafa,A.

Aquaculture Assoc. of Canada, St. Andrews, NB (Canada) Article Subject Terms: Husbandry diseases Parasitic diseases Fish culture Temperature effects Water temperature Water currents Experimental research Article Taxonomic Terms: Lepeophtheirus salmonis Salmo salar Marine Anatomy Physiology; Engineering; Path Micro The roles of water temperature, flow, and agitation on the development and settlement of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) on their Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) hosts were investigated in the laboratory. In the first phase, fish were exposed to 5, 10, or 15 degree C and increased water-flow (18 L/min vs. 6 L/min). In the second phase, fish were exposed to 5, 10, or 15 degree C and increased water agitation 92 h of vigorous bubbling of air each day). At 15 degree C sea lice matured to mobile stages faster and their settlement was influenced by water flow and agitation. Hendry,C. I. McGladdery,S.
