Yes it is not posted on the web site that there is no use of antibiotics. They only use antibiotics on brood fish if necessary so it is minimal compared to the norm. There would be not mention of a sea lice issues if there was or was not. I am just saying they have next to zero sea lice because of the low salinity. My point is that there are locations to farm fish where sea lice simply in not an issue if it is at all.
well said: sea lice levels on salmon farms has been low and dropping for many many years- its arguable if it was ever high except on the odd badly managed farms in the 80's. The BC issue is a complete fabrication spearheaded by an American billionaire (trust fund baby) named Alexandra Morton and her allies in the Alaska Seafood Marketting Institute and Hewlett Packard and PEW foundations who feed her money and power to demarket their main competition. This is just another example of US interests stamping out Canadian competition in the name of environmentalism. Save the wild, eat wild salmon- ugh. Excellent, increasing returns in streams near salmon farms, including sockeye near Broughton continue despite all junk science published. The sea lice issue is a scam, just like organic labelling is a scam. Different scams but both scams.
