Respect sea lochs

-

IT IS disappoint­ing to hear that the parasite burden on farmed fish has been so high in Loch Fyne.

Parasites and disease are an integral part of intensive aquacultur­e, as with intensive agricultur­e. They come with the territory.

But controllin­g sea lice in a way that does not harm the environmen­t must be paramount.

For the sake of our collective future, we must take care of our sea lochs, because there is far more to be lost than gained if we destroy our environmen­t for profit.
