Thanks for posting that.  We already knew this: It is recognized that current intense fish farming practices can cause pollution and disease problems,
escaped fish have negative impacts on wild stocks, and that farming of carnivorous species puts pressure on wild fish populations used for feed.

..... and now we are learning that they are cesspools of sea lice?  Who woulda thunk it?

Not where I work.  zero zippo sea lice. Its a none issue.  No lice treatment is used, no antibiotics are used.  So I would say its not always the case on a bc fish farm.

Is that one of the dormant pens where the fish have been removed?

Every site that is fully stocked actually regardless of the age of the fish.

--this is exactly where we should be doing some research to find out why.. no lice here... so it can be replicated in other sites or come up with ideas of where best to put the farms.

Low salinity. Low LOW densities. Growing Chinooks.

  Still though I am not apposed to the current use of slice.  Its not like it is being used all the time and in huge doses.
