Increased catalase activity — A possible resistance mechanism in hydrogen peroxide resistant salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
2017-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Due to their pathogenic effects and vast reproductive capacity, salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, pose a problem for salmonids and salmonid fish farmers in the Northern Hemisphere. Reliance on chemical delousing has resulted in widespread resistance amongst salmon lice throughout most of the salmonid producing world. In an attempt to combat resistant salmon lice, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has become increasingl...
