Insect juvenile hormone analogues and their biological activity on sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis).
A number of synthetic compounds that exhibit juvenile hormone activity when tested on the insect species Tenebrio molitor have been shown to inhibit the development of the sea lice species Lepeophtheirus salmonis. The testing was carried out on both isolated nauplius larvae and live Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
