Grey whales travel from waters off Mexico, where they calve, head north to the Bering and Chukchi seas off Alaska. One group stops off the west coast of Vancouver Island every year to feed. John Forde of the Whale Centre Tofino has been offering whale-watching trips for close to 40 years, and said the product used by fish farms kills more than sea lice on farmed salmon. It kills small crustaceans, such as crab larvae, which whales rely on in their diet. “There’s got to be different solutions,” he said Monday. He’s concerned for the whales and for the whale-watching sector if these huge animals, which can reach 12.5 metre long and weigh up to 35 tonnes, are affected.
