Frequent delousing treatments are necessary to keep lice densities below allowable limits, but currently viable treatments have drawbacks in terms of financial cost, animal welfare, or environmental impacts. We tested if 254\u2009nm ultraviolet C light (UVC) could function as a new preventative method to suppress reproduction of salmon lice (<jats:italic>Lepeophtheirus salmonis<\/jats:italic>) by sterilizing fertilized eggs. We exposed salmon lice eggstrings to a range of UVC intensities and durations to identify effective doses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cumulative dose of 0.008\u2009J\u2009cm<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup> induced 5% egg mortality, while 95% egg mortality occurred at 0.09\u2009J\u2009cm<jats:sup>\u22122<\/jats:sup>, indicating that UVC can be effective as a preventative treatment. The total cumulative dose appeared to be more important than the duration or number of individual exposures by which the total dose was achieved.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>UVC treatment has immediate applications for the salmon aquaculture industry, including for the treatment of wastewater from delousing or other operations. Future work will assess the feasibility of UVC dose delivery on host salmon in sea cage environments that involves little or no fish handling and creates negligible environmental impacts. \u00a9 2019 Society of Chemical Industry<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ps.5595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]],"date-time":"2019-08-23T03:15:18Z","timestamp":1566530118000},"page":"901-906","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Sterilization of sea lice eggs with ultraviolet C light: towards a new preventative technique for aquaculture"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"76","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2820-0421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luke T","family":"Barrett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sustainable Aquaculture Laboratory \u2013 Temperate and Tropical (SALTT), School of BioSciences University of Melbourne  Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cassandra G","family":"Pert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sustainable Aquaculture Laboratory \u2013 Temperate and Tropical (SALTT), School of BioSciences University of Melbourne  Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Bui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Research, Matre Research Station  Matredal Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frode","family":"Oppedal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Research, Matre Research Station  Matredal Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Dempster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sustainable Aquaculture Laboratory \u2013 Temperate and Tropical (SALTT), School of BioSciences University of Melbourne  Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2007.01.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3354\/aei00142"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rspb.2012.2359"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.physbeh.2014.04.031"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aquaculture.2008.12.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aquaculture.2016.02.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aquaculture.2018.02.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"IversenA Hermansen\u00d8 AndreassenO BrandvikRK MarthinussenA Nyst\u00f8ylR Cost drivers in salmon farming (in Norwegian).
