LESS POISON USED TO COMBAT SALMON PARASITE

Wanted! DEAD!

This has been claimed by researchers at Sintef . They have discovered a new method that uses less of the toxic gas “Rotenon” By simply fencing the lower pools and treating them individually, this has enabled both brown trout and sea-trout population’s protection from the poison. While still in its experimental fazes this new technique has undergone trials in Aureelva in Møre and Romsdal.
