Research highlights risks of thermal delousing treatments for unhealthy salmon
Thermal sea lice treatments do not appear to cause increases in pathogens which threaten farmed salmon, but the risk of stress-related mortalities means that fish already suffering from disease should not undergo thermal sea lice treatments, according to Institute of Aquaculture researchers.
