The Scottish government announced new legislation requiring salmon farmers to publish weekly figures on sea lice levels.
The legislation will come into force next year, and follows discussions on regulatory reforms in the industry held in 2018.
"We would expect everyone with an interest in wild as well as farmed salmon and sea lice to work to the same high levels of transparency and ensure data is accurately collected and quickly reported," Scottish Salmon Producers Association (SSPO) CEO Julie Hesketh-Laird said.
