Candidate genes for monitoring hydrogen peroxide resistance in the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis

Abstract Background Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the delousing agents used to control sea lice infestations in salmonid aquaculture. However, some Lepeophtheirus salmonis populations have developed resistance towards H2O2. An increased gene expression and activity of catalase, an enzyme that b...
