Please allow me to clarify, then.
Your question was about my previous statements about the 97% survival of Atlantic salmon inside the cages. I referred to that if we're talking about infectious disease agents and diseases. In other words, fewer than three percent of the farmed salmon usually succumb to that disease or those diseases.
Now, on average, the survival of the farmed salmon is in the range of 90%. The additional mortality is largely due to periods of low oxygen or harmful algae blooms or predation by seals and sea lions, but the loss of farmed fish due to bacteria or viruses is less than three percent. The loss of farmed fish due to lice is zero. The lice in B.C. do not kill farmed fish.
Does that answer your question?
