Not being a expert in the subject, I found the following problems with the article:

  • "species of parasite" - that is not a scientific classification, what's the family?
  • from a quick look at available sources, there are possibly differences between the Atlantic and the Pacific, which are not mentioned in the article
  • there are a number of mention in the WWW to problems related to sea lice originating from fish farming affecting wild salmons, and this seems to be an important issue
http://www.greenspiritstrategies.com/D146.cfm references to scientific papers on this issue.
  • the "Marine Institute" and other regulatory references: to which country they apply?
