Flipping sea lice
An SFU study suggests that sea lice, found by the millions in open-net fish farms, can be transmitted up the food chain –via their ability to flip from the salmon fry they infest to the larger predator fish that prey on them. The study was carried out in B.C.’s Broughton Archipelago by doctoral student Brendan Connors, a behavioral ecologist, and is published in the online science journal Biology Letters. The study can be found at http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2008/619/1
