问题的经济成本可能是确定研究和管理资源优先级的最佳指标。其他指标可以基于鱼类福利，以及杀寄生虫剂对环境，农场工作人员或消费者的风险或影响;但这些都没有在这里讨论。海虱是一种外寄生桡足类甲壳动物，是欧洲和美洲鲑鱼养殖业中最具破坏性的寄生虫（Costello 2006年）。尽管30多年来作出了重大研究努力，800多份研究出版物表明，它们仍然是一个持续存在的问题。这些损害包括对鱼类和环境的影响，以及公众对水产养殖的看法（Costello 1993; Pike & Wadsweek 1999; Costello，Grant，Davies，Cecchini，Papoutsoglou，Quigley & Saroglia 2001）。然而，其经济成本仅在国家或区域范围内进行了估算。在这里，公布的估计海虱成本，以刺激更好的估计，并提供估计海虱成本的世界鲑鱼养殖业。
The economic cost of a problem may be the best metric for prioritizing research and management resources. Other metrics could be based on fish welfare, and risks or impacts of parasiticides on the environment, farm staff or the consumer; but these are not addressed here. Sea lice, ectoparasitic copepod crustaceans, are the most damaging parasite to the salmonid farming industry in both Europe and the Americas (Costello 2006). Despite major research efforts over 30 years, as evident from over 800 research publications, they remain a persistent problem. The damage includes the impact on the fish and the environment, and public perceptions of aquaculture (Costello 1993; Pike & Wadsworth1999; Costello, Grant, Davies, Cecchini, Papoutsoglou, Quigley & Saroglia 2001). However, their economic cost has only been estimated at national or regional scales. Here, published estimates of sea lice costs are presented to stimulate better estimates, and provide an estimate of sea lice costs to the world salmonid farming industry.
