Flesh-eating lice spread by fish farms kill 39% of wild salmon – Scotland.

This article came to my attention via Aquavetmed.

It’s lucky in a way that this does not apply to our salmon farming because of two things:

1. Our salmon do not have fish lice (and we’d like to keep it that way);
2. We don’t have a ‘wild’ population of salmon that farmed fish can affect (since salmon [and trout and the like] aren’t natives of Australia).
