The aquaculture industry has failed to bring epidemic of sea lice under control in B.C.’s Clayoquot Sound.

B.C salmon farms last year were besieged by sea lice, according to a new University of Toronto study, which also found a dangerously steep rise of infestation among young wild salmon who swam nearby.

DFO documents reveal treatment failures and inability to protect migrating salmon.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada confirms the findings of independent research that says sea lice on salmon farms are becoming resistant to SLICE, a pesticide used to kill sea lice.
