Table 2. Pre-treatment and post-treatment model averaged parameter estimates.

Data	Rate (r)	Area (a)	Temp. (b)	Salt (c)	Month (d)
Pre-treatment	0.35 (0.07)	0.09 (0.08)	−0.06 (0.06)	0.08 (0.06)	–
Post-treatment	−2.91 (0.31)	−0.09 (0.14)	0.22 (0.13)	0.22 (0.14)	1.25 (0.16)

Model-averaged estimates are given for the intrinsic rate of growth of average sea louse abundance per farmed salmon (r) and the effect sizes for cohort surface area (a), temperature (b), salinity (c), and number of months since treatment (d). Standard errors are given in parentheses. Pre-treatment data span from stocking to the month preceding the first SLICE® treatment; post-treatment data span the three months following the month in which treatment takes place.
