BAD NEWS BITES - Global Problems in the Fish Farm/Seafood Industry, Updated Apr 27, 2019

I receive 30 global press fish farm/seafood industry newsletters every week. In these, I have found a startling amount of bad news, and decided to do a post on it. I had no idea there was as much bad news as there is.This is my eleventh post in three years. And the last post ended at 4,000 problems, as I put 500 in each post before starting a new one.

Some days I am stunned by the amount of bad news in the fish farm/seafood industry.  Find the fifth BAD NEWS BITES post here: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/05/bad-news-bites-fifth-post.html. And that reaches 2,000.

This is the link to the fourth post, Jan 14, 2017, it has 500 BAD NEWS BITES in it: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/01/bad-news-bites.html. it has links to the previous three posts since July 2015. You can find earlier ones at these links.

This is the link to the ninth post, March 29, 2018: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/03/bad-news-bites.html.

This is the link to the tenth post, Aug 9, 2018:  https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/08/bad-news-bites-aug-20-2018.html.

Here is a summary of the bad news stories:

"In one mouthful, here are the kind of stories I am finding: boom bust industry, billions made and lost, crisis in lice and disease, bankruptcy, workers fired, executives jumping company to company, dividing big bonuses, fraud, corruption, litigation, conflict of interest with government and scientists, using the ocean as a free open sewer – $10.4 Billion in BC alone, killing of whales, seals and sea lions – more than 12,000 in BC so far, slavery, unpaid labour, taxpayers paying millions for diseased, dead fish – $177 Million in Canada, dueling scientists, weakening of laws, unsustainable feed, illegal fishing, jail sentences, disasters in Norway, Scotland, Chile, Canada, bullying of scientists, governments and anyone critical of their business, cartels, collusion, price fixing, fishing down the food chain to Antarctic krill, carcinogens and persistent organic pollutants, fluoroquinolones, chicken feathers in feed, animal feces in feed, eutrophication in a time of global warming, Malachite Green fungFicide in USA seafood, fake industry awards, all the wild salmon in the Pacific ocean, more than a billion, put in peril... it goes on."

Update, Dec 11, 2017: I have found 500 BAD NEWS BITES in less than 3.5 months. That means well over 1000 in a year. That is how much bad news there is in fish farms/seafood industry. This post, the sixth, may be found here: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/08/bad-news-bites-salmonseafood-industry.html.

Update, Mar 29, 2018: You will find the previous posts on these dates: 23/1/2018, 11/12/17, 29/8/17. 5/5/17, 14/1/17, 1/7/16, 6/5/16,  1/7/15, and a total of nearly 3,500 BAD NEWS BITES.  

Update Aug 9, 2018: I have found 500 BAD NEWS BITES since Mar 29, 2018. The total now stands at 3,500 in three years. The Aug post has 500 BAD NEWS BITES, bringing the total to 4,000 problems in three years.

Fake News - takes on Artifishal: that fish farming is sustainable, with the old chestnut that it takes one pound of fish to make one pound of salmon, versus 6.8 pounds of feed to make one pound of cow.

A false comparison: https://www.intrafish.com/aquaculture/1761188/aquaculture-company-launches-counter-campaign-against-patagonia-artifishal-documentary?utm_source=IntraFish+Salmon+Newsletter&utm_campaign=b835ada1c5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_26_11_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5c825a4a64-b835ada1c5-245113141. Also, the Sea Around Us document says it is about 2.2 pounds for a conversion rate of killed dead fish to make one pound of salmon. They also say that fish farms have destroyed 19 of the top 20 species for reduction fisheries. The 20th is Antarctic krill which isn't even a fish.

"Even feeding fish in aquacultural settings is unsustainable. Aquaculture largely depends on carnivorous fish, which typically feed off of anchovy, herring and krill, known as forage fish. Because millions of tons of feed are needed each year, experts predict that the demand for these ancillary fish will soon outpace supply, leading to the collapse of wild fisheries before mid-century."

Here is what Chamberlin said was wrong: "The court quashed the PRV policy on four grounds. The minister failed to reasonably interpret his core mandate under the Fisheries Act—the protection and conservation of fish.
The minister did not adhere to the precautionary principle—to anticipate, prevent, and attack the causes of environmental degradation and not use scientific uncertainty to excuse inaction. He breached his constitutional duty to consult and accommodate the 'Namgis First Nation. And in a finding that beggars belief, when regulating PRV, the virus responsible for one of leading causes of death in fish farms globally, the minister failed to consider the risk PRV poses to wild Pacific salmon."

369. Failure to Use Science - DFO, Rick Routledge, failure to use the precautionary principle: https://www.straight.com/news/1217506/rick-routledge-disease-control-policy-bc-farmed-salmon-must-include-precautionary. Quote: "Definitive contrary evidence would allow the minister to dismiss such a body of otherwise credible evidence, but Strickland specifically noted the lack of definitive evidence that PRV does not pose a risk to wild Pacific salmon. Indeed, she further highlighted a remarkable weakness in the federal government’s evidence: heavy reliance on observed health impacts on farmed Atlantic salmon for inferring potential impacts on wild Pacific salmon. Such indirect evidence cannot possibly generate definitive conclusions.

The following conclusions are uncontested: First, PRV is widespread and highly prevalent in Atlantic salmon farms in British Columbia. Second, PRV is highly contagious and can be passed from Atlantic salmon to at least two species of Pacific salmon (sockeye and chinook). Furthermore, it is a thoroughly accepted scientific conclusion that large, crowded host populations, like salmon in a large aquaculture facility, provide an ideal opportunity for a pathogen like PRV to proliferate. Thus, crowded fish farms are ideal breeding grounds for PRV to proliferate and spread to wild Pacific salmon to which they may pose an even greater health risk. Strickland was clearly correct in identifying that the minister’s PRV policy was at odds with the precautionary principle." Routledge concludes: "...it is inconceivable that a revised PRV policy could be in compliance with her ruling without (i) thorough, mandatory monitoring for the presence of this highly contagious virus in British Columbia salmon farms, and (ii) mandatory follow-up to eradicate PRV from salmon farms that test positive for PRV. Only then can the minister legitimately claim that his PRV policy truly represents an implementation of the precautionary principle, which he can then proceed to make “more fulsome”."

Quote: "
A spring 2018 report on Canadian aquaculture, in both B.C. and Atlantic Canada, by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development stated, “We concluded that Fisheries and Oceans Canada did not adequately manage the risks associated with salmon aquaculture consistent with its mandate to protect wild fish. Although the Department had some measures to control the spread of infectious diseases and parasites to wild fish in British Columbia, it had not made sufficient progress in completing the risk assessments
for key diseases that were required to understand the effects of salmon aquaculture on wild fish. It also had not defined how it would manage aquaculture in a precautionary manner in the face of scientific uncertainty. Moreover, the Department did not adequately enforce
compliance with aquaculture regulations to protect wild fish.”" This is the link to the 2018 report: http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_cesd_201804_01_e_42992.html.

Alex Morton says: "On February 4, 2019, I won a Federal Court ruling that DFO's refusal to screen farm salmon for the virus PRV is unlawful. Three days later, DFO made a reckless announcement that PRV is not harming Fraser sockeye salmon. Scientists involved are outraged and don't support this conclusion. Meanwhile the majority of sockeye in the upper Fraser, which are infected with this Norwegian virus, were officially at imminent risk of extinction. Someone needs to be tracking this virus as it is spreading through BC waters." The other thing is that PRV has been shown to cause HSMI in Norway, and jaundice/anemia in BC chinook. But DFO is using the sadly lacking excuse that PRV has not been shown to cause HSMI in BC, as in, it may be HSMI anywhere else in the world, but not here. Hold on, the Kibenge paper below, 155, says it is associated with HSMI in BC, and has links to papers. See the image half way down his article.

For example: we became the first salmon producer in the UK to be awarded 2-star Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) certification for all our marine and processing sites, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship. The world’s most comprehensive third-party aquaculture certification programme, BAP is administered by the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA) and is compliant with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) and Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI)."

The BAPs were set up by the industry. The GAA, is an industry set up group, administers the fake BAPs:  https://www.aquaculturealliance.org/membership/.  Look at all the members, all seafood  businesses. The GFSI came about after large, negative food problems, note that the BAPS are compliant: https://www.mygfsi.com/about-us/about-gfsi/what-is-gfsi.html. The GSCP is a UN related body.

7. DFO Against Wild Salmon - BC, DFO is busy trying to find that fish farms don't harm wild salmon, an outcome of the Cohen Commission, saying they need to remove fish farms by 2020 if they can't prove minimal damage. Living Oceans nails this one: "DFO’s aquaculture scientists have been busy trying to establish that the farms cause “no more than minimal harm”; while at the same time, the Department is a partner in the Strategic Salmon Health initiative led by Dr. Kristi Miller Saunders. Dr. Miller’s team is finding the reverse: viruses from salmon farms do infect Pacific salmon and the result can be deadly. The virus PRV, introduced from Norway, causes the red blood cells of Chinook salmon to rupture."
