Sea Lice Policy: When Bad Data Leads to Bad Decisions
Update: 2025-06-02
Description
What happens when we build policy on the wrong measurements? In this episode, we unpack Norway’s proposed lice regulations and why the industry's biggest concern might not be the rules themselves, but the science behind them. From farm-level impact forecasts to a surprising case out of British Columbia, where sea lice returned despite the complete removal of salmon farms, we explore the statistical pitfalls that can shape, or misguide, long-term policy. If you're in farming, regulation, or simply trying to make sense of where the industry’s heading, this episode offers critical perspective.
