Environmental Fate and Potential Biological Effects of the Anti-Parasitic Chemo-therapeutant Emamectin Benzoate (active ingredient of SLICE®) in the Canadian Marine Environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SLICE® is one of the chemotherapeutants used to control sea lice infestations at marine finfish aquaculture facilities in Canada. Concerns regarding the uptake and potential effects of the active ingredient of SLICE®, Emamectin Benzoate (EB), in non-target organisms have been raised by several stakeholder groups. EB was measured at parts per trillion (ppt) levels in water samples collected in the immediate vicinity of two salmon aquaculture sites in British Columbia following SLICE® treatment. EB was also detected at parts per billion (ppb) levels in sediment samples and in the muscle tissue of spot prawns collected within a 150 m radius of the net-pen. Sediment concentrations were related to the specific oceanographic conditions at each site. EB was found to be present in sediments up to 1.5 years following SLICE® treatment. Potential sub-lethal effects of EB on spot prawn were examined in a series of laboratory exposure experiments. Results suggest that short-term exposure to EB can impact this non-target crustacean.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
