Description:Although relatively difficult to measure, utilizing body surface area (BSA; cm2) in applied research can prove insightful. For example, sea lice impact (Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus spp.) is still an active area of scientific research in salmonid culture. A standardized unit of density is lice g− 1 and used to assess the physiological health of the host (Wagner et al., 2008). Density standardized to BSA (lice cm− 2) is a more robust metric and better reflects parasitized space (Abé et al., 2015, Caltran and Silan, 1996, Halliday et al., 2014, Tucker et al., 2002). BSA can also be a proxy of host density in model simulations, as Rogers et al. (2013) had done with farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
