eDNA Results from Thermal Delousing Trial at 16 Norwegian Salmon Farms

David A. Strand's dataset summarizes environmental DNA (eDNA) results from trial A, comparing samples from sea net pens and treatment chambers during thermal delousing. The data covers 16 Norwegian Atlantic salmon farms with known Pasteurellosis status and was last updated on 2026-04 27. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file.

Use Cases

• Compare eDNA signatures between sea net pens and treatment chambers based on the described sampling locations.
• Investigate potential links between thermal delousing procedures and microbial communities based on the described trial context.
• Analyze the presence or absence of Pasteurellosis-related indicators across different farm sites based on the known disease status mentioned.

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific, controlled trial (trial A) at 16 farms, providing a clear experimental scope.
• Includes known Pasteurellosis status for the farms, which is a key variable for analysis.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope or summary-level data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
