'Sea lice' is a common name for a large number of species of marine ectoparasitic copepods, many of which are widespread and important disease-causing agents that infect both cultured and wild fish. Of these copepods, the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is the most extensively studied because of its economic impact on the salmonid aquaculture industry and its possible impacts on wild salmonid populations. Different levels of infection by this parasite can affect the long-term survival and viability of its hosts. In this article, we review the nature of the interactions between L. salmonis and it hosts to identify crucial areas that warrant further research to aid understanding of the impact of infection with L. salmonis.
“海虱”是大量海洋外寄生桡足类物种的通用名称，其中许多是广泛存在且重要的致病因子，可感染养殖鱼类和野生鱼类。在这些桡足类中，鲑鱼虱Lepeophtheirus salmonis由于其对鲑鱼养殖业的经济影响以及对野生鲑鱼种群可能产生的影响而得到了最广泛的研究。这种寄生虫的不同感染水平会影响其宿主的长期生存和活力。在本文中，我们回顾了鲑鱼虱与其宿主之间相互作用的性质，以确定需要进一步研究的关键领域，以帮助理解感染鲑鱼虱的影响。
