Fury as EU ends probe into sea lice

The EU pilot investigation, which was closed at the end of last month, was examining the potential impact of sea lice on wild salmon stocks in Ireland.
The investigation was launched on foot of complaints raised by Friends of the Irish Environment and Salmon Watch Ireland, who are opposed to Bord Iascaigh Mhara’s (BIM) plans to develop a 500-hectare, deep-sea salmon farm 6km off Inis Oírr in the Aran Islands.
