Nonsens about drug-resistanse

Published Modified

Alexandra Morton writes in an email that "...Grieg Seafood is emptying salmon farms in British Columbia, Canada , due to a lice epidemic that cannot be controlled with drugs. Government here seems unwilling to respond."

- We have not registered any drug resistanse problems from use of Slice in Canada, says Grieg Seafood CEO, Morten Vike to the Norwegian news site kyst.no. He explains that they are emptying a site near Esperanza, at the west side of Vancouver Island because of getting into a cycle of bringing up one generation of fish at the same time, and let the site rest for tree months every second year. - This has nothing to do with lice problems, he underlines.
