Transcriptomics of coping strategies in free-swimming Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda)

ABSTRACT: To understand the sensitivity of larval lice to changing environmental parameters we applied a 38K oligo microarray and characterized transcriptome responses after 24 hour exposures to reduced salinity (30-10 parts per thousand (ppt)) or varied temperature (16-4M-BM-:C). To further characterize the effects of salinity, we profiled expression changes over a range of seawater with single increment differences (30-25 ppt). Three separate projects. Low resolution salinity (aka wide range or LR_SAL) contains 2 duplicate experiments, each with pools of lice (~500 copepodid lice per beaker; n=3 beakers per condition), incubated for 24 hr at 10M-BM-:C diluted to 30, 25, 20, or 10 parts per thousand (ppt). Temperature study conducted as above, but with a constant salinity of 30 ppt and changed temp
