Abstract: Copepods encompass numerous ecological roles including parasites, detrivores and phytoplankton grazers. Nonetheless, copepod genome assemblies remain scarce. Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an economically and ecologically important ectoparasitic copepod found on salmonid fish. We present the 695.4… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-43515-w
Abstract: Muscle activity is regulated by stimulatory and inhibitory neuropeptides allowing for contraction and relaxation. In Arthropods, one of the important myoinhibitors is Myosuppressin, belonging to FMRFamide-like peptides, that was shown to have inhibitory effects on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coac078
Abstract: Female trout were better adapted for changes in water salinity, while male trout were better adapted for salmon louse infection. These findings may suggest a skewed sex ratio against more females among louse infected wild… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.12505
Abstract: The salmon louse is a highly abundant ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the North Pacific and Atlantic. Widespread and rapid development of resistance to chemical agents used to delouse salmonids on marine farms is now… read more here.
