The control of sea lice in Atlantic salmon by selective breeding

Sea lice threaten the welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon and the sustainability of fish farming across the world. Chemical treatments are the major method of control but drug resistance means that alternatives are urgently needed. Selective breeding can be a cheap and effective alternative. Here, we combine experimental trials and diagnostics to provide a practical protocol for quantifying resistance to sea lice. We then combined quantitative genetics with epidemiological modelling to make the first prediction of the response to selection, quantified in terms of reduced need for chemical treatments. We infected over 1400 young fish with Lepeophtheirus salmonis, the most important species in the Northern Hemisphere. Mechanisms of resistance were expressed early in infection. Consequently, the number of lice per fish and the ranking of families were very similar at 7 and 17 days post infection, providing a stable window for assessing susceptibility to infection. The heritability of lice numbers within this time window was moderately high at 0.3, confirming that selective breeding is viable. We combined an epidemiological model of sea lice infection and control on a salmon farm with genetic variation in susceptibility among individuals. We simulated 10 generations of selective breeding and examined the frequency of treatments needed to control infection. Our model predicted that substantially fewer chemical treatments are needed to control lice outbreaks in selected populations and chemical treatment could be unnecessary after 10 generations of selection. Selective breeding for sea lice resistance should reduce the impact of sea lice on fish health and thus substantially improve the sustainability of Atlantic salmon production.

孤岛油田馆1+2砂层组湖相沉积的发现及其意义

分析胜利油区孤岛油田馆陶组上段连续取心井段的岩心,发现了存在浅水湖泊沉积的证据,据此认为馆1＋2砂层组属于浅水湖泊沉积,而非单一的河流相沉积.沉积期间,湖盆地形平坦、水体极浅,湖平面受气候影响频繁振荡式升降变化,沉积物表现为氧化、还原环境交替的红灰相间的细粒结构,湖泊沉积构造（如波状层理、浪成沙纹层理和波痕等）发育.根据岩性、沉积等特征,划分为水道、砂坪、混合坪、泥坪和沼泽等5种沉积微相类型,洪水期和枯水期各微相的发育特点和平面展布不同.馆1＋2砂层组属于湖相的观点为该区的勘探开发提供了新思路.图5参9
