Average number per fish from the Sognefjord shows 81 lice of the stages copepodite and chalimus.
The data from the Sognefjord should be considered a minimum estimate for lice infection.
A higher salinity at the surface induces the lice to penetrate the surface layers further inside the fjords, and consequently to infect the salmon swimming close to the surface.
