A Model For Sea Lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) Dynamics In A Seasonally Changing Environment

Highlights • We incorporate temperature and salinity into a model of sea lice development. • We show different annual reproductive peaks between British Columbia and Newfoundland. • We find the model is more sensitive to environmental than to biological parameters. • Consideration of local environme...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We incorporate temperature and salinity into a model of sea lice development. • We show different annual reproductive peaks between British Columbia and Newfoundland. • We find the model is more sensitive to environmental than to biological parameters. • Consideration of local environmental patterns can improve sea lice management.
