To achieve efficient and preventive measures against salmon lice ( Krøyer, 1838) infestation, a better understanding of behavioral patterns of the planktonic life stages is key. To investigate light responses in copepodites, a non-intrusive experimental system was designed to measure behavioral responses in a 12.5-l volume using machine vision technology and methodology. The experimental system successfully tracked the collective movement patterns of the sea lice population during exposure to different light stimuli emitted from alternating zones in the system. This system could further be used to study behavioral responses to different physical cues of various developmental stages of sea lice or other zooplankton.
为了实现对鲑鱼虱(Krøyer,1838)感染的高效和预防性措施,更好地了解浮游生活阶段的行为模式是关键。为了研究桡足类动物的光反应,设计了一种非侵入性实验系统,使用机器视觉技术和方法来测量 12.5 升体积内的行为反应。该实验系统成功地跟踪了海虱种群在暴露于系统中交替区域发出的不同光刺激时的集体运动模式。该系统还可以进一步用于研究对海虱或其他浮游动物不同发育阶段的不同物理线索的行为反应。
