You're asking about the actions that the net-pen aquaculture industry have taken to address the concerns about sea lice. Sea lice on farm fish are quite different on the east coast than the west coast. That has been explained to the committee in the past. On the west coast, the sea lice are a different species and far less damaging to the fish. On the east coast, it's a different situation. In both cases, the industry's response has been to adhere to maximum thresholds of allowable sea lice to reduce their ability to create more sea lice on the wild fish that are around the cages. That's done through a program of monitoring and taking steps when there are sea lice approaching or exceeding the maximum threshold. We take steps to control their numbers.
