Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by Neoparamoeba perurans, is one of the main health challenges for the global Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) farming industry (Oldham, Rodger, & Nowak., 2016; Rodger, 2014). This parasite's presence in a number of other marine fish species (Oldham et al., 2016), including cleaner fish species used for the biological control of sea lice in Atlantic salmon farms (Haugland, Olsen, Rønneseth & Andersen, 2017), has resulted in the emergence of new challenges for the industry especially as high mortalities can result if AGD is left untreated (Munday, Zilberg, & Findlay, 2001). Current approaches for controlling AGD are resource-demanding and labour-intensive, involving numerous treatments throughout
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
