Salmon Coast Research Station - Part 1

Government and industry have long denied that lice infestation on wild salmon were due to local industrial salmon farming operation, citing that perhaps another fish, called the stickleback, could be responsible for the high numbers of lice killing juvenile wild salmon in the Broughton Archipelago. In this episode one researcher gains new insight & video into what kind of role the stickleback may actually be playing in this interaction. Also featuring the lovely vocals of camp musician and cook, Glenna Garamone

great job. Nice to give credit to the sticklebacks and know they are part of the solution -not part of the problem, as DFO suggests
