Individual patterns of anadromy determine the cost of salmon lice exposure in brown trout by K. L. Hawley, H. A. Urke, T. Kristensen, T. O. Haugen

“…Accordingly, estimates of accumulated lice infestation were higher for individuals that underwent long‐distance migrations, residing for longer in the outer‐fjord, with limited differences observed between years. As most brown trout remained in the inner‐fjord, an area protected from aquaculture, individual accumulated levels of lice exposure and infestation were low, resulting in infestation estimates largely below critical‐mortality thresholds. …”
