Compassion in World Farming International (CIWFI) reached out to ASC last week alleging that the revised sea lice indicators equates to a “fivefold increase” in the permissible number of lice per farmed fish; therefore arguing that the Code of Good Practice currently used as a mechanism for assessing ASC farms in Scotland is inappropriate.
 

However the ASC issued the following response to The Fish Site this week, which explains their decision in more detail:
