Flat out wrong. A lot of fish have parasites, and wild salmon has higher incidence of lice

That's not what the studies you cite are saying.

They're saying that salmon farms are not driving greater incidence of parasites and lice in their wild counterparts.

It doesn't say that farmed salmon have fewer incidence of sea lice than their wild counterparts.


“Targeting both juvenile chum and pink salmon, the study found sea lice were still prevalent in young salmon, at numbers as high or even greater than the presence was when salmon farms were still operational”
