Main findings
• The Fluorolice project has established a microscopy based methodology that increase the number of samples that can be analyzed for salmon louse larvae by a factor of 10 compared to traditional microscopy.
• The developed protocols require formalin-fixation of samples and access to fluorescence microscopes with very even stage illumination as well as the appropriate filters.
• The developed protocols require formalin-fixation of samples and access to fluorescence microscopes with very even stage illumination as well as the appropriate filters.
• Future development of the methodology should include automated and standardized sampling equipment and optionally methodology or automated sample analysis.
