Has the same thing happened with #aquaculture? #fakenews and the propagation of it by #activists. An interesting read on how #lies spread. In the case of BC #aquaculture, repeated headlines, fact light documentaries and bad modeling leading to a #cult like belief. #witch-hunting

It begins.... Tuesday I present regarding no farms and still lice. Using #data, #facts and peer reviewed #science to fight the #20yearlie.

Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 29/11/2025
Santiago Chile Airport on my way to the International #sealice conference to present at one for the second time. This time about #nofarms = still lice after #aquaculture removal in #BC #Canada. Slowly ending the #20yearlie with #data #facts #truth.

Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 27/11/2025
When #activists just don't know what they are talking about or outright #lie it doesn't help #wildsalmon. The 2025 Fraser River #sockeye return was dominated by summer run sockeye not late summer run sockeye. These fish 100% go by the Big Bar site. Why does she keep lying?

Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
Remember this miracle 2024 recovery of chum report by AM? I do! Her blustering, cherry picking the species that works for her narrative. 2025 pick the Fraser River run ignore all others to keep the #20yearlie alive. 2025 chum were almost non-existent except for Nanaimo.
000
Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
Another option is to listen to the #science and #experts. (Also by "listen" I think she means "listen to the cherry picked data I provide to you that no other fisheries scientists believe")

Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
That right there folks is what all the fuss is about. The most common stage of #sealice we find on juvenile #wildsalmon. Do you see it? Also, yes those are my favorite style of tweezers. #truth #facts #science and #aquaculture Lastly, yes I am working on a Sunday Uggggg

Our peer reviewed paper on the lack of change to #sealice on #wildsalmon after removing #aquaculture in the #DiscoveryIslands was chosen as the cover article by the Journal. Link to article doi.org/10.1111/jfd.... 1 of 3 papers I'm presenting in Chile in 2 weeks!

Lance Stewardson @thelancestewardson.bsky.social · 22/10/2025
Always remember all these chinook swam by Discovery Island #salmonfarms and the chum and pink did not because they had been removed. No farms = no change, it's been a #20yearlie by #grifters and #activists and #science, #data and #facts say so.

@alex4salmon.bsky.social comments are either uninformed or out right lies. Cal/Lep lice in the Broughton unchanged, ranging between 30-70% for the last decade, Tlowitsis farms included in Broughton paper (table & map below) Discovery paper was published here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Wait? What? How was it possible for 2018 to be larger with #aquaculture #fishfarms in Discovery Islands? Can anyone tell me what the causitive agent would be for the fictional harm to sockeye? Recent peer reviewed science seems to rules out #sealice #PRV and #mouthrot

As peer reviewed #science continues to disprove claims of #sealice #prv and #mouthrot affecting #wildsalmon, #activists and #grifters are left with cherry picking short term data in and effort to cover up a #20yearlie they have committed. #gross t.co/dCDfuUsuAk
