“Sea lice are difficult to control,” says Albert Solares, a Mitacs researcher at Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Ocean Sciences Centre. “They’re tiny, spread quickly, and attach themselves to voraciously feed on salmon.”

Most of Quebec’s rivers where Atlantic salmon swim are expansive networks of forest roads and watercourses that intersect at culverts.
