HI ASF (Atlantic Salmon Federation)
On the Digby
article, it is worth remembering just how low employment and real GDP is in
fish farms. The politicians, naively back fish farms because they promise
those jobs and revenue, and think DFO has a good regulatory regime, so why not,
let’s have the jobs.
That is what the
councillors think at the bottom of the article. However, I’ve done the research
to find that employment is way below what fish farms claim. They want to get in
the water because they know they will never be taken out, DFO being on the side
of fish farms.
So, go read my
analysis of the BC Stats Report in BC, and at the bottom, employment. Jobs turn
out to be a small fraction of what is promised, and Inka Milewski points
out the jobs have fallen in Atlantic Canada by 32%. Furthermore, the automation
from Norway will be brought here and result in an 80% drop in employment.
So those
politicians who are naively trusting Cermaq, and DFO, in this case, should have
done their homework and said no.
Here is my article:

It has the reference to the Milewski article in it. Do read it as it is the
best single article I have ever read on fish farms after reading tens of
thousands of pages of scientific articles.
And there are those 308 on-land fish farms I have found: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2016/05/152-different-on-land-fish-farm-systems.html.
And now, almost 300 good news articles on on-land in the past year: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/11/good-news-post-links-to-on-land-closed.html.
