Here's a study done on prawns and SLICE: https://dspace.library.uvic.ca:8443/bitstream/handle/1828/4530/Park_Ashley_MSc_2013.pdf?sequence=1

Some interesting stuff in there, although residue was "measurable" under the farm, the prawns basically had to be force-fed it in order to attain enough of the substance to disrupt any of their systems.

When you actually read this thesis CK, you find that the author also states: "However, preliminary trends in the field survey data indicate that there may be population differences occurring in spot prawns inhabiting areas near treating salmon farms that are not observed in reference populations. These results signify the inherent pitfalls in current management policy that base decisions on short-term acute toxicity laboratory exposure results that may not be indicative of the response of marine populations near active salmon farms to long-term chronic EMB exposure.".

Quite a different implication than your assertions...

In addition, they also state: "immediately following SLICE® treatment at farms sampled in Knight Inlet, the catch abundance was depressed and a smaller size distribution of prawns was observed compared to sampling two months later at the same sites, a trend not observed at reference sites."

CK the ISO certification is a bs certification system, basically a tax put on industry to be able to market goods with the ISO certification. We have it in forestry and the audits for certification are a joke, companies set themselves up to pass, pick sites to be inspected. No different than SAFE company certification. Do the paperwork and you pass, whether the company is safe or not, a tax on industry. Maybe its different in aquaculture but I doubt it.

thanks for the shortcut. from the table explanation:

"1 Approved - Veterinary drugs authorized for sale by Health Canada for use in food-producing aquatic animals"

here is the rub if you will, the USFDA does not approve the use of SLICE in any product meant for human consumption. it would seem we have a very different set of rules than CFIA. so how to resolve this? maybe the US needs to stand firm and stop the importation of product treated with product that does not meet our health standards.

what'yah think CK??

That's your turf Reelfast - nothing we can do about that up here. Fill your boots.

right on. just surprised to learn that CFIA apparently does not certify your product being pesticide free, interesting development.
