Urquhart, K., Pert, C. C., Kilburn, R., Fryer, R. J., and Bricknell, I. R. 2008. Prevalence, abundance, and distribution of Lepeoptheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837) and Caligus elongatus (Nordmann, 1832) on wild sea trout Salmo trutta L. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 65: 171–173.

Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837) and Caligus elongatus (Nordmann, 1832) were found on 100% and 90%, respectively, of 30 wild sea trout from the east coast of Scotland. Mean abundances of the same two sea lice were 7.8 and 7.7, respectively. The distribution of the two species of sea louse differed, however, with a greater proportion of L. salmonis in the posterior and anterior dorsal regions, and a greater proportion of C. elongatus in the caudal and posterior ventral regions.

Keywords: abundance, Caligus elongatus, distribution, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, prevalence, sea trout
