Aquaculture improving?..The Fish Farm Thread

We are up against the foreign owned big guys who are committed to growing profit, not protecting wild salmon.

Strong quarter to end a record year for Mowi
(Bergen, 15 February 2023) Mowi recorded record-high revenues of 1,362 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2022. Operational profit was 239 million euros, compared with 146 million euros in the corresponding quarter of 2021.

Yepper, GF. So the costs for a lawyer to ensure business as usual is allowed is a pittance. I'm thinking they will loose this one tho - after maybe some thousands to millions $ of taxpayer monies are spent on the defense side.

Abstract
Recent decades have seen an increased appreciation for the role infectious diseases can play in mass mortality events across a diversity of marine taxa. At the same time many Pacific salmon populations have declined in abundance as a result of reduced marine survival. However, few studies have explicitly considered the potential role pathogens could play in these declines. Using a multi-year dataset spanning 59 pathogen taxa in Chinook and Coho salmon sampled along the British Columbia coast, we carried out an exploratory analysis to quantify evidence for associations between pathogen prevalence and cohort survival, and between pathogen load and body condition. While a variety of pathogens had moderate to strong negative correlations with body condition or survival for one host species in one season, we found that Tenacibaculum maritimum and Piscine orthoreovirus had consistently negative associations with body condition in both host species and seasons, and were negatively associated with survival for Chinook salmon collected in the fall and winter. Our analyses, which offer the most comprehensive examination of associations between pathogen prevalence and Pacific salmon survival to date, suggest that pathogens in Pacific salmon warrant further attention, especially those whose distribution and abundance may be influenced by anthropogenic stressors.

 

 

Many people on the site still seem to have blind faith in DFO and their processes, and dismiss us DFO haters as acting like neanderthals. I don't know if someone has already posted the above article but it clearly outlines why us DFO haters feel the way we do, and why, in most cases, information shared by DFO is not worth the paper it is written on.
