Non‐medicinal approaches for controlling sea lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) infestations, such as freshwater (FW) treatments, have been increasingly implemented to support more sustainable parasite control in aquaculture. This study evaluated the efficacy of FW treatment against sea lice under controlled experimental conditions and assessed the potential development of resistance across multiple generations. Sea lice populat...

A controlled Saprolegnia parasitica infection model was used to challenge 1158 fish representing 105 pedigreed Atlantic salmon families to evaluate the possibility of selecting for Saprolegnia resistance in a commercial breeding programme. Fish were infected in five study tanks and observed for 40 days post‐infection for lesion score and survival. Survival analysis of the top 10 resistant and bottom 10 susceptible families ind...
