The objectives of the field and laboratory analyses were to: 1.Test out multiple field sampling methods for capturing sea lice nauplii and copepodid larvaeand undertake a field sampling campaign. 2.Establish a process for subsampling, processing, and visual identification of sea lice larvae from the field sampling campaign. 3.Quantify sea lice larvae from a field sampling campaign designed and informed from sea lice larvae dispersal modelling.

Please note: Failure to capture sea lice larvae does not equate to their absence, and care must be taken to avoid conclusions of no sea lice larvae present at the place and time sampled. Temp&Salinity.Metadata provides descriptions of column names for the Temp&Salinity.Data, , which contains summary information on the monthly temperature and salinity at the sample locations presented in figures 7 and 8 in Reinardy et al. (2023). See Reinardy, H.
