Objective
Resistance in the parasite Lepeophtheirus salmons is known to exist, and may become a serious threat to European aquaculture. This multidisciplinary effort by scientists and the salmon industry will develop strategies to identify, monitor and control resistance. It will provide:
I)protocols for bioassays determining the presence and scale of resistance to all agents in current use,
ii)protocols for biochemical and molecular diagnostics of resistance mechanisms,
iii)monitoring for sensitivity in sea lice populations, documenting patterns, and the impact of control practices upon them,
iv)seasonal and temporal data on the genetic structure of L. salmons subpopulations
v)management recommendations based upon Correlation of toxicological and mechanistic resistance patterns 'Ninth genetic, environmental and operational factors,
vi)a framework for disseminating the output to salmon farmers, manufacturers and regulatory authorities.
