A Review of the Impact of Parasitic Copepods on Marine Aquaculture (2004, background): “…and recruitment are reported to be higher at higher water temperatures (Wootten et al. 1982, Hogans and Trudeau 1989a b, Tully 1989, Johnson and Albright 1991b, Tully and Whelan 1993, Boxaspen 1997, Wadsworth 1998, Pike and Wadsworth 1999 and additional references therein, Tucker et al. 2000).”
The Effects of Water Temperature, Salinity, and Currents on the Survival and Distribution of the Infective Copepodid Stage of Sea Lice (Lepeophtheirus Salmonis) Originating on Atlantic Salmon Farms in the Broughton Archipelago of British Columbia, Canada (2005, background): “Tucker et al. (2000) showed that a larger proportion of copepodids fail to establish themselves on a host at 7°C than at 12°C.”
Production, mortality, and infectivity of planktonic larval sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837): current knowledge and implications for epidemiological modelling (2018, background): “Impacts of environmental variables on infection Host settlement success is also reduced at lower salinities, which coincides with a decrease in their energy reserves (Tucker et al., 2000a, b; Bricknell et al., 2006).”
