  It's still not entirely clear to researchers just how lice are able to sense the impending doom of their current host, but Executive Director of Watershed Watch Salmon Society, Dr. Craig Orr says it's certainly the male lice that are extremely mobile and able to 'jump ship' very readily.

  Pour expliquer l'énorme différence entre prévisions et évaluation réelle par le ministère, Craig Orr, directeur du Watershed Watch Salmon Society, avance que les modèles mathématiques utilisés par le gouvernement ne sont " pas du tout fiables ". Il cite les travaux de Randall Peterman, chercheur de l'université de Colombie-Britannique, qui avait démontré, en 2007, que les treize modèles utilisés dans le passé pour prédire le flux migratoire des saumons donnaient des résultats erronés. A l'époque, ce spécialiste de la pêche prédisait une aggravation de la situation due au changement climatique.

  Craig Orr of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society said the federal government started to bleed research funding at the Fisheries Department more than 20 years ago.
  
  He said the cuts began after the closure of the department's Fisheries Research Board in the late 1970s and then after concerns in the 1980s and 1990s about how salmon would be affected by an Alcan dam project in Kitimat, B.C., which was later cancelled.
  
  The events marked a change in philosophy within the department, said Orr, with political considerations trumping science.
  
  "Our scientific capacity has eroded tremendously, along with Canada's reputation of being a leader in science around salmon," said Orr.

  Ecologist Craig Orr, who studies sockeye as the executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, said the cause of what is now three years of low returns is unclear.
  
  Some experts blame warmer ocean and river temperatures, and declining food supplies in the open oceans for the failing salmon runs.
  
  But warmer water temperatures can't fully explain the demise of so many fish, said Orr, who is calling for a full investigation of the impact of fish farming and sea lice on wild stocks.

  "Recent sampling by Alex Morton is showing high infestation rates on wild fish," said Craig Orr, executive director of Watershed Watch.
  ...
  Orr said it is not a peer-reviewed scientific paper and is intended for the lay person."I'm sure not everyone will believe it.There's a lot of denial," said Orr."It's about elevating the dialogue.It's not an anti-salmon farm report - an informed public is what we want."While Orr claimed the report is not against fish farming, the acknowledgments includes some staunch opponents of open netpen farms such as the David Suzuki Foundation, Living Oceans Society and Morton to name a few."The government here doesn't have strong enough regulations to deal with sea lice," said Orr.
