SEPA[1] Scottish Environmental Protection Agency - Policy Document 40:
‘Policy on Regulation and Expansion of Caged Fish Farming of Salmon in
Scotland’:
"One of the major difficulties facing the industry is
the proliferation of sea-lice in marine salmon farms. The lice do
considerable damage to the farmed fish and there is now growing
acceptance that stress induced by increased lice burdens on wild
salmonid species linked to fish farm infestations may be contributing to
the decline of these wild stocks where farms lie close to migration
routes."

Sea Lice Control
This project is to develop a product to control sea lice, a debilitating and ubiquitous ectoparasite of farmed salmon. Sea lice management (treatments, labour, and losses) in Scottish farmed salmon costs £33m annually and £305m worldwide.
We are currently looking at a variety of natural products against sea lice.
