Great story TinCan!!!
My wife and friend in the room could not hold back the laughter, followed by disgust when I read to them this from this from Fish Farm guys.
BC Salmon Farmers Association "the organization says “fish farming plays a critical role in protecting wild stocks”
Lets face it, Fish Farmers don't give a damn about feeding the world or saving wild salmon. The only thing they are interested in is making money.
Making as much money as fast as they can and be damned about what the effect might be on the environment or wild salmon.

Equivalent value reward offered for the safe return of each fish- so a can of Spam, a hug from Norwegian Santa, or a bucket of vomit.

Aquaculture; improving????
To sum it up...
Aquaculture has NOT improved this year in Canada!!
Same old problems.
Escapement, Sea Lice, Virus, and general pollution of the surrounding areas!
Wild Salmon are still dying as a result of Atlantic Salmon Open Net Pens!
My New Years wish is to see some meaningful improvement in 2020

Cleaned up the last number of pages of drivel that has been spewed here over and over again. This has been stated here many times before...IF you have something new to add to the debate by all means post it. IF you are only interested in throwing sand at each other in the playground go somewhere else to do it.

I was in Ireland recently and everywhere I went I asked locals about atlantic salmon returns and often where returns were dismal there were no salmon farms. Most blame overfishing.
