Chilean authorites have amended rules on the monitoring of diseases affecting farmed salmon including for the treatment of sea lice.
Amendments laid out by Chile's National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service Sernapesca stipulate that from now on, sea lice monitoring of the parasitic loads of Chilean sea lice (caligus rogercresseyi) must begin no later than 30 days after salmon are released into cages and extend until the last week of the productive cycle in which at least one cage is populated.
