“…Disruption of ion balance is also observed in salmonids infected with parasites such as sea lice (Figure 1a; Lepeophtheirus salmonis ; Nendick et al, 2010; Wells et al, 2006) or the amoebic gill disease‐causing ectoparasite Paramoeba perurans (Hvas et al, 2017), the former also presenting a potential issue for non‐cultured fishes found in proximity to salmon farms (Morton et al, 2004). In net‐pen aquaculture, the occurrence of dramatic changes in abiotic conditions such as elevated temperature and hypoxia (Figure 1a; Burt et al, 2012; Stehfest et al, 2017) also can result in detrimental effects on ion balance (Bernard et al, 2019; Christensen et al, 2017; Damsgaard et al, 2020; Giacomin, Eom, et al, 2019; Iftikar et al, 2010; Imsland et al, 2003; Islam et al, 2020; Onukwufor & Wood, 2018; Vargas‐Chacoff et al, 2018) as a function of impaired ATPase function and/or the osmorespiratory compromise (Section 2.2). In addition, poor water quality conditions, such as elevated ammonia (Figure 1c, Hong et al, 2019) or nitrite (Tomasso, 2012), also have been found to act as disruptors of ion regulation (Liew et al, 2013; Martinez & Souza, 2002; Twitchen & Eddy, 1994; Wood & Nawata, 2011).…”
