What we can only hope will be the future.
The only question I have about this technology is how will they sterilize the outgoing sea water that will be returned to the ocean as it occurs to me that the Atlantic salmon eggs used could and likely will contain some of the same Atlantic Ocean evolved viruses that our Pacific Salmon have little immunity too? Could UV sterilizing units be sufficient for killing viruses and workable with this volume of seawater or perhaps some other technology? Am I missing something? It has to be less of a risk than Atlantics in Net Pens.
