Aquaculture improving?..The Fish Farm Thread
- Thread starter islandboy
- Start date
Ya, HG is right - there are numerous incidents of small-scale diesel spills every few years from many operators - the Queen of the North was one.
More importantly for me - it is the stuff ones doesn't see that is a more constant threat - like the release of pathogens from FFs that affect wild fish that die - and nobody sees the dead fish nor tests for pathogens in those affected wild fish - not does the industry nor the mandarins in the Aquaculture Department of DFO wish anyone look for neither.
Thank goodness for the PSF:

Well they closed clamming in the area so might be a clue.

Do you? Pray tell. I do know from my more that fifty years on the water that it takes a hell of a long time to pump 8,000 litres thru a hose. Some one was asleep at the nozzle.

Thanks for proving me correct
Yes I do know , only thing i agree with you is yes 8000 ltrs takes awhile to pump, depending on sizes of pumps/hoses, I've been in trucking industry since forever,
Please tell us all
Where did the 8000 ltrs go?...again didn't think so

A ship hits a rock (Not in Namgis Area) , takes on water and makes it safely to port .......................... how is that even news. Boats hit rocks all of the time even First Nation boats ......................... what is the outcry about ?? As in all marine accidents it will be investigated.

Obviously if there was no fish farms there would be no boats and therefor no accident’s

Take a chill pill man, he is just posting FF related news like he has been doing for a long time.
However, I agree that the article and the issue seems overblown IMO.

The Ronja Islander is NOT owned by Grieg Seafoods.
She emptied her holds of only seawater! to raise her up higher in water , this put damage above waterline.
