Comment on "Declining wild salmon populations in relation to parasites from farm salmon"

Brian E Riddell et al. Science. .

Abstract

Krkosek et al. (Reports, 14 December 2007, p. 1772) claimed that sea lice spread from salmon farms placed wild pink salmon populations "on a trajectory toward rapid local extinction." Their prediction is inconsistent with observed pink salmon returns and overstates the risks from sea lice and salmon farming.
