DEAD FISH SWIMMING! These photos were taken just a couple of days ago at the harbour by the Campbell River ferry....While I was happy to see all the little herring swimming about, it wasnt until Alexandra told me to look closer that my joy turned to horror...these poor little guys wont survive as this lice infestation is pretty much on all of them there...when we caught one in the net to look closer the lice jumped off! Very freaky to see...My concern is that the salmon farmers in BC are now using Hydrogen Peroxide to treat lice infestations, which has only been used as a last resort against drug resistant sea lice in Norway and Scotland...these herring are just across the channel from the Walcan seafood processing plant and my fear is that these lice may have come from there, are possibly drug resistant and growing in numbers....Wake up BC...sea lice found on farms dont just infect the salmon...they infect other fish as well and herring feed all the others!....Check by your docks and harbours and please post on here any pictures and what youre seeing.
