Surveys in the area around Austevoll Aquaculture Research station have failed to reveal the presence of a large number of the free-swimming stages of salmon lice in the water column. However, lice were abundant on salmon held in cages in this area. Lice-free salmon were used as collectors of lice at three sites chosen at varying distances from other known sources of lice (salmonid fish farms). The abundance of lice on salmon at particular sites was found to vary during the year and also between years. During the study period, variations were correlated with temperature, increased abundance occurring at higher temperatures (>6 degrees C). Comparisons between sites during the period with the highest temperatures showed that lice abundance was negatively correlated with distance to other salmon farms in the area. During periods of colder temperatures (
