There are two common species of sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus. Although both are marine [copepods] parasites, they are frequently found on salmon and sea trout entering freshwater. Sea lice cannot reproduce in freshwater, but can tolerate river conditions for as long as 2-3 weeks. ... Sea lice are usually found attached to the skin around the head, dorsal fin and anal fin. 2, record 3, English, - sea%20louse
