Abstract
Evidence of farmed wrasse picking sea-lice were captured within 20h of cohabitation between (1) Atlantic salmon infected with sea-lice (adult Lepeoptherius salmonis) and (2) farmed ballan wrasse not previously exposed to sea-lice.A total of 65 parasitic sea-lice were presented and cleared within 20h.54 lice were recovered as gut content at the end of the experiment.Water temperature was 7C
