🐟 A University of Stirling study could pave the way for the more efficient study of the secretions that salmon lice use to avoid fish defences, potentially enabling the development of new strategies to protect salmon from infestations.

Research led by PhD researcher Alexander Dindial at 's Institute of Aquaculture has resulted in the development of a new and precise way to collect and study secretory and excretory products (SEPs) from salmon lice. This includes substances released from the glands of the lice that make it easier for them to feed or evade their host’s immune system.
