The Canadian aquaculture industry produces fish and shellfish products. Like many industries, pests are often present and can be the source of significant production and environmental problems.
An example is the Sea lice, which can cause serious disease in farm-reared salmonids, leading to losses from direct mortality, poor growth, treatment costs and increased labour cost. The use of long-term pest management strategies for controlling sea lice is important to the sustainabilty of the industry and the environment in which it operates. By using a combination of prevention and treatment tactics, operators can achieve more consistent long-term pest control.
The following documents were produced by a National Working Group on Integrated Management of Sea Lice, organized by the PMRA and the Salmon Health Consortium under an Integrated Pest Management Partnership Project.
