Sea Lice Prevalent In Aquaculture Becoming Resistant To Pesticide; "Levels Never Seen Before" In BC
Who Could Have Predicted That? 
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. It also confirms it is conducting a review of a Cermaq fish farm in Clayoquot Sound to determine whether the company properly followed the protocols for reporting and treating a sea lice outbreak in the spring.
Earlier this week, independent researcher Alexandra Morton and the Living Oceans Society published findings from research that highlights a sea lice outbreak earlier this year at a Cermaq salmon farm in Clayoquot Sound. The report, Lousy Choices: Drug Resistant Sea Lice in Clayoquot Sound, highlights the fact that sea lice are becoming resistant to SLICE, which is the only pesticide approved for sea lice control in Canadian fish farms.
“The spring of 2018 saw parasitic sea lice on both farmed and wild juvenile salmon in Clayoquot Sound reach levels never before seen in the province of B.C.,” the report states. It says DFO and the industry have known sea lice were becoming resistant to SLICE since 2014, but have “publicly and repeatedly denied this fact.”
According to the report, high levels of sea lice were found in both wild and farmed salmon in the Clayoquot Sound in the spring of this year. “Independent monitoring found 96 percent of wild juveniles carried lice, with an average of 8.04 per fish,” the report states.
