Abstract: Methods of preventing/treating ectoparasite infections in fish are disclosed. In an aspect, a method comprises mixing at least one of glucosamine containing product, a lactone containing product, a capsaicin or capsaicinoid containing product, an essential oil, or a combination thereof, with a fish feed ingredient, thus producing a fish food. The method comprises feeding the fish food to the fish such that the ectoparasite (such as sea lice) infection is treated, reduced and/or prevented in the fish. In an aspect, the method comprises mixing a botanical plant extract containing capsaicin, capsaicinoids, vanilloids, or lactone members of the germanocrolide, guianolide or phthalide lactone groups, chosen from at least one of the Apiaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae, Asteraceae, and Zingeberaceae family groups, with the fish food.
