16 scientists slam a recent DFO report that found salmon farms had an 'insignificant' impact on wild salmon infestations — claiming the report's authors cherry-picked data, ignored scientific consensus and failed to consult with experts outside the depa...
A group of over a dozen leading fish scientists are slamming a federal study that found “no statistically significant association” between infested salmon farms and sea lice in nearby wild salmon.
“This comprehensive CSAS report adds to the nine previous CSAS science reviews on salmon aquaculture in B.C. that concluded ‘minimal risk’ to Fraser River sockeye salmon from all relevant fish pathogens of concern,” the association said in a press release. The government-backed report also relied on an unvalidated and out-of-date model of infestation, failed to report all the analyses and omitted “statistically significant results,” claimed the letter.
“Anti-salmon farming activists who do not agree with the results are trying to claim the process is flawed or compromised by industry. We do not agree with this position at all.” “The analysis is just straight up not up to par,” said the sea lice expert, who has spent over a decade studying the problem.
