Report from SFU last year on lice counts at fish farms.
https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2020/09/study-suggests-sea-lice-on-salmon-is-under-reported-at-b-c--salm.html

Our team found that when DFO is auditing the farms, industry counts increased, on average, by almost 20 per cent for one species of sea louse, and nearly doubled for the other species.
So when DFO is not auditing, which is most of the time, the reported industry counts seem to be underestimates.

“ In a scathing ruling, Judge Mandy Aylen said that “Morton’s proposed affidavit contains untested hearsay evidence, contains improper opinion evidence under the guise of being factual evidence.”

I sure wish these same activists would lobby as hard for something that might benefit salmon, say something like getting off our collective asses and doing something about the Big Bar slide.  A high water year will devastate a third straight brood line for early run sockeye and chinook, and AFAIK absolutely nothing is being done to solve this problem.

Is it time to nudge Joyce Murray to wake the Liberals from their stupor into action? Bernadette Jordan wasn't up to the task any more than Andrew Wilkerson was. Breasts on a boar.

There is no money on the other side for ENGO lobbies to push for big bar.

If BC fish farms get removed, then alaska wild salmon prices go up

If BC herring fishery gets removed. Then Alaska herring prices go up
