The swimming endurance of naturally and experimentally infected juvenile pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) was measured to determine the effects of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). Salmon naturally infected with adult male and preadult stage lice did not appear to have a reduced swim performance, but when experimentally infected with adult female lice, juvenile salmon showed a reduced ability to swim compared with uninfected control fish, and this effect increased with lice load. A reduced swimming endurance is not only likely to influence predation risk for salmon, but may have other ecological implications, such as slower seaward migration.
