BC Salmon Farmers Association picks apart ‘inaccurate’ sea lice study

Inadvertently the report – which is intended to shame -- actually indicates sea lice levels on salmon farms were well-managed, says the association.

'The model feels rushed, and is based on assumptions that aren’t clear in the study and don’t reflect a number of complex variables including the reality of ocean conditions,' said BC Salmon Farmers Association.
