Sadly, these roles won't help protect wild salmon and sea trout because as the evidence clearly shows salmon farming is not the reason why there are now so few wild fish salmon farming. Over fifty years, wild salmon have declined in west coast rivers at exactly the same rate as those caught form east coast where there are no salmon farms. More than happy to hear what is causing east coast declines if salmon farms are responsible for those in the west. Also happy to meet for a coffee and a chat.

1wAlso worth noting that despite your model - which is just a model and incorrect - the decline of east coast stocks is not due to the presence of farms in Orkney and Shetland. It doesn't matter whose sea lice dispersal model is considered, they are all flawed because they ignore basic parasite science
