I'm aware of the decision, but sea lice are the problem here. We have the salinity that is perfect for sea lice. If you do go into the southern Puget Sound, closer to the rivers and further from the ocean, you do get lower salinities. For the farms that are in lower salinities in British Columbia the sea lice levels are lower. However, the majority of farms are in the perfect salinity, particularly with the lower rainfalls that we are getting during the summer. The salinity in the inlets is reaching ocean salinity of 30 parts per million, which is very beneficial to the reproduction of sea lice.
