Nova Scotia atlantic salmon feedlots, sea lice? Maybe

When Premier Dexter tells Nova Scotians that we haven't had an "outbreak" of sea lice here in a decade is that just a weasel word for "pesticides take care of them"?

UPDATE: AS OF OCT 08, 2013 THE NDP DEXTER GOVERNMENT IS GONE!

We have been watching the Cooke health person picking sea lice off fish each time she examines them so if Nova Scotia does find itself with sea lice infestations we can guess how they got here. Thanks Cooke Aquaculture of New Brunswick sea lice fame!

Escapes from these farms are also polluting the rivers that spawn the wild salmon threatening their already at risk status.
