On Extracting Important Correlations in Salmon Lice Based Dataset
نویسندگان
چکیده
Salmon lice causes reduced fish welfare as well as great economical losses along with a significantly increased amount of work for fish farmers. Resistance among salmon lice to well established treatments has resulted in repeated treatments and reduced immune systems among the fish. The main focus of this work is to investigate correlations between salmon liceand treatment-data received from a particular area on the Norwegian coast. Data mining originated approaches are used in an attempt to obtain new knowledge from the investigated data sets.

Salmon lice – impact on wild salmonids and salmon aquaculture
Salmon lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, are naturally occurring parasites of salmon in sea water. Intensive salmon farming provides better conditions for parasite growth and transmission compared with natural conditions, creating problems for both the salmon farming industry and, under certain conditions, wild salmonids. Salmon lice originating from farms negatively impact wild stocks of salmonid...
متن کاملSea Louse Infection of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon in Relation to Marine Salmon Farms on Canada's West Coast
BACKGROUND Pathogens are growing threats to wildlife. The rapid growth of marine salmon farms over the past two decades has increased host abundance for pathogenic sea lice in coastal waters, and wild juvenile salmon swimming past farms are frequently infected with lice. Here we report the first investigation of the potential role of salmon farms in transmitting sea lice to juvenile sockeye sal...
متن کاملFish farms, parasites, and predators: implications for salmon population dynamics.
For some salmon populations, the individual and population effects of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) transmission from sea cage salmon farms is probably mediated by predation, which is a primary natural source of mortality of juvenile salmon. We examined how sea lice infestation affects predation risk and mortality of juvenile pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) and chum (O. keta) salmon, and dev...
متن کاملRelationship of farm salmon, sea lice, and wild salmon populations.
Increased farm salmon production has heightened concerns about the association between disease on farm and wild fish. The controversy is particularly evident in the Broughton Archipelago of Western Canada, where a high prevalence of sea lice (ectoparasitic copepods) was first reported on juvenile wild pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in 2001. Exposure to sea lice from farmed Atlantic salmon...
متن کاملSpace-Time Modelling of the Spread of Salmon Lice between and within Norwegian Marine Salmon Farms
Parasitic salmon lice are potentially harmful to salmonid hosts and farm produced lice pose a threat to wild salmonids. To control salmon lice infections in Norwegian salmonid farming, numbers of lice are regularly counted and lice abundance is reported from all salmonid farms every month. We have developed a stochastic space-time model where monthly lice abundance is modelled simultaneously fo...
