The sea lice may be the parasitic crustaceans Lepeophteirus salmonis (Lepeophteirus salmonis salmonis and Lepeophteirus salmonis oncorhynchi) or Caligus elongates. The treatment may be performed at a temperature of between 4°C and 20°C, a pH of between 7.0 and 9.0, the sea lice are is exposed to the composition for up to 24 hours for each dose.
