Mowi Canada West is currently using an evolving mix of tools to battle sea lice, which the company said is allowing it to have a more efficient and integrated pest management system.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM), according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is based on taking an environmentally sensitive approach to pests that causes the least possible hazard to people, property and the environment.
"Having integrated pest management and available tools has put us in a good position to manage our farms with respect to balancing the number of treatments and keeping lice abundance low, particularly at critical times," Jeremy Dunn, director of community relations and public affairs at Mowi Canada West, told IntraFish.
