Mechanical treatment is among the main strategies for controlling sea-lice in farmed salmon, but it causes fish health and welfare issues and increases the susceptibility to diseases.

Here I will give an overview of the most important fish health and welfare challenges with focus on some of the most important pathogens in Faroese aquaculture.
