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

“…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. The fraction of total mortality attributed to lice during sea‐sojourn was greater for long‐distance migrants (smolts: 25.3%; veteran migrants: 14.8%) versus those remaining within the inner‐fjord (smolts: 14.7%; veteran migrants: 1.7%). …”
