Stephen Harper Government Eliminates Environmental Laws for Fish Farms - Updated Sep 3, 2015

This graph says it all about where Norwegian fish farms in Canada (Marine Harvest, Cermaq, Grieg Seafood, et al) are going with farmed salmon, just as they have already done in Norway. Would you eat this fish that has ten times the cancer causing chemicals,dioxins and PCBs than any other food?

[Farmed fish at 41.6 picograms/gram and beef at 4. The information is from the EU and shows the chemical levels in common meat products.]

I don’t think so. But Harper and Gail Shea have just brought in laws that weaken already weakened environmental laws in Canada. See my post: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/12/summary-fish-farm-environmental-laws.html.

And see this article from the Huffington Post on weakening the laws: Seventeen ways the Government is Helping Kill Wild Salmon: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/jeff-matthews/wild-salmon-farmed-salmon-aquaculture_b_7419712.html?fb_action_ids=1673064862922068&fb_action_types=og.likes.

And, the Royal Society issued a stinging indictment on the Conservative Governments record on our three ocean coasts in 2013. Now, Gail Shea is weakening the already weakened laws to allow fish farms to do what they want with chemicals. Look once again at the above graph. Now, Ruth Salmon, of the Canadian Aquzculture Industry Alliance, says: “The new regulations are an important step in modernization.”

WRONG. They are a step backwards, and an essential step toward Norwegian farmed fish that doctors are telling people not to eat in Norway. Her words are simply industry spin. It is not modernizing to allow the use of more chemicals. Particularly ones that kill lobsters, like cypermethrin, and others for lice.

Marine Harvest first announced in Norway it would not put smolts out because they thought they would all get killed by lice. Why? Because lice are resistant to all the drugs they use there. Cypermethrin is just one of those chemicals.

“It will provide greater transparency leading to increased public confidence which will allow the industry to grow in Canada.”Says Salmon.

WRONG. Go back and look at the cancer causing chemicals in farmed salmon. What is the case is that the public who have to live with fish farms overwhelmingly reject them, and allowing more drugs, will just make they want them out of the ocean even stronger.

For example, more than 100,000 British Columbians have signed a petition to eliminate expansion and get the farms out of the waters: See: https://www.change.org/p/restore-wild-salmon-ban-salmon-feedlots-in-bc. Even the aboriginals in Ahousaht, Clayoquot Sound, have launched a petition and have stated their chiefs let them down and they will not stand for another fish farm in Clayoquot Sound where there are already 22. See the post ahead of this one for the weblink.

The public is angry all over the world, for example, Tasmania, and Nova Scotia. Read this Blacklock article: Go to: https://www.blacklocks.ca/, and search for July 16, 2015.

FURTHERMORE, fish farms are not transsparent. It is often the spin that weakening the laws will make things better. And, behind the scenes, the fish farms lawyers argue against release of information to the public.

When I tried to get the amount of money that we Canadians pay to fish farms for their diseased dead fish, the information was held up for 10 months because of a legal injunction against release.

During the Cohen Commission the same prevailed. Fish farms lawyers argued against release of disease testing tables. Cohen required them, and then fish farms changed their tune and trumpeted about how transparent they were.

Then Cohen required the individual tables. Fish farms sent in their lawyers to argue Cohen had no authority to allow public release. He required them anyway. Fish farms are not transparent.

Oh, and 90% of DFO’s own scientists are against what DFO is doing to weaken laws and reduced science budgets: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/12/canada-strictest-fish-farm-laws-no-best.html.

And I asked the Canadian Food and Inspection Agency for the location of east coast farms with the worst disease, ISA. They sent a note back, Aug 7, 2015 saying I could not get this information without a formal freedom of information request. This is not transparency. Interestingly, it was from Dr. Kim Klottins, who on the Cohen stand got cornered into saying that the CFIA was only interested in foreign trade in BC fish farm products.

Ruth Salmon goes on: "There have been conflicting roles between the provincial and federal governments and this is going to clarify rules and responsibilities."

WRONG. In BC, all of fish farm rules and regulations fall to the federal government. There is no conflict. But, DFO, itself is in conflict, as pointed out by Cohen.

A senator, Thomas McInnis, NB, said: "it's difficult for me to believe that you haven't turned this almost entirely over to the industry." 

RIGHT. The main point is that there is no management of fish farms that hasn't been shown to be in conflict with them - federall, provincial, academics, testing systems and so on. This happens all over the world. An earlier post on this site pointed out that the NOAA in the USA's technical report could not have been more pro-industry if it had just allowed fish farms to write it themselves

McInnes goes on: "There is a tremendous public outcry of concerrn and uncertainty with respect to aquaculture."

RIGHT. This happens all over the world once the public begins to understand the environmental degradation of fish farms. See the petition link above..

The Kevin-Baker-Voakes article goes on to say, that MargotVenton, of Ecojustice, a BC environmental law organization that is currently in court fighting DFOand Marine Harvest's putting infected farmed fish in saltwater in BC: "The regulations seem to authorize the destruction of fish habitat [The fisheries Act also had section 35, 36, changed to weaken environmental laws] when that destruction is for the purpose of putting in a new aquaculture facility."

RIGHT. The fear is that fish farms will begin killing wild salmon because the new regulations appear to allow it. Venton also points out that there is no public release regulation, nor one on public release of the chemicals in farmed fish. And, of course, I have noted that fish farms are not transparent, and the regulatory agencies, the CFIA, for example, also require a freedom of information request, of which mine was held up for 10 months by a behind the scenes fish farm injunction.

The Baker-Voakes article goes on to note that 124 conservationists including six retired federal researchers petitioned Cabinet to withdraw the amendments, saying they were 'gravely concerned' with the consequences.

Pamela Parker for the fish farms says that: "These chemicals have been used in Norway and the UK for ten years. Canada is very late in approving any of these products.

WRONG. Norway lobbied the EU to allow chemicals in farmed fish some ten times above the same chemical levels in other farmed meat/poutry/dairy products. The above graph shows it.

And last year, doctors and scientists in Norway told Norwegians not to eat farmed fish because of the high level of chemicals in them. Go back to the Index to this site for weblink references:  http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/10/index-to-wwwfishfarmnewsblogspotcom.html. 

THE REAL SITUATION

Fish farms say that they operate under the strictest laws in the world in the country they operate in. Fish farms said the same thing in Norway, Scotland, Chile and Canada last year. This cannot be true because the laws in all countries are different.

Furthermore, Chile is publicly, widely acknowledged as the dirtiest country in the world for fish farms. Hence its laws can't be as good as those in Canada, or elsewhere.

But, fish farms argue for reduced strictness, and then use that from one country, they note the UK and Norway for example, to argue that laws have to be weakened in other jurisdictions they operate in this case, Canada. It is a race to the bottom, not 'modernization'.

WEST COAST ENVIRONMENTAL LAW GROUP ON WEAKENED ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION

West Coast Environmental Law group's post on the environmental laws weakened by the federal government. See: http://www.blackoutspeakout.ca/cms/uploads/budget-bill-top-10.pdf. 

DFO CUTS 130 HABITAT JOBS

Not only have the laws been changed, but frontline staff have and are being removed from protection of fish habitat. In other words, the laws have been removed and the staff who deal with habitat issues have also been removed. See a recent CBC article on the issue: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ottawa-set-to-cut-130-positions-from-fish-habitat-programs-1.1193488. 

In other words, conservation and protection staff are pretty much eliminated, so those weakened fish farm laws, are not being enforced because staff has been cut.

HABITAT SHOWS STEEP DECLINE UNDER STEPHEN HARPER GOVERNMENT

U of C professor, Martin Olszynski, in the Journal of Environmental Law and Practice, has published a stinging indictment of the Harper Government decade of eliminating environmental laws, programs and staff.

Here is a text file of the figures, for example, DFO's budget dropped by $80 Million in 2012, $100 million more in cuts are planned. DFO reduced proposals with environmental dimensions from 12,000 in 2001, to 4,000 in 2014. DFO staff for Fisheries Act charges fell to 50 from 300, and staff time allotted dropped to 10,000 hours from 35,000 hours.

See: http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/canada/newbrunswick/story/1.3212403. 

After studying reams of data Olszynski consluded that Ottawa has 'all but abandoned' attempts to protect Canada's lakes and rivers.

The paper is published in the Journal of Environmental Law and Practice: http://www.law.ucalgary.ca/faculty/publications-olszynski. Note that you must be a research use, U of C computer, public computer to access the paper.

Norwegian Fish Farms at the Tipping Point

My list of on-land fish farms is now at 85 different systems, comprising more than 10,000 actual, on-land fish farms around the globe right now. See: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/key-document-34-mostly-on-land-closed.html.

But the CEO of Marine Harvest, Alf Aarskog says that it just isn’t possible to farm fish on land. Well, my list says he’s wrong and Kjell Bjordal, a former EWOS feed giant executive, says he is too.

Bjordal has some good arguments. The cost of a licence/concession is listed at NOK 65 million or $10.4 Million Canadian. By comparison, we only charge $5,000 in BC, and at 130 licences, we should be charging $1.352 Billion. Also by comparison, there is zero cost for a licence on-land in Norway, so that’s a huge difference.

Then there is the difference that fish are raised faster on land because you can control the photo-period of the day and keep the water temperature the same, rather than seasonal fluctuations, and, in addition to adding a current that results in higher concentration of fish in the RAS system, fish are grown to market size in a little over half the time of in-ocean farms.

Well run recirculating systems are low on water consumption because it is reused, have no diseases, have no lice, result in no wild salmonid deaths, no sea lions are shot, and the huge sewage load is eliminated. Waste is used to produce energy, methane and aquaponics, resulting in much cheaper electricity costs than claimed by detractors, and so on.

Bjordal points out that the costs of raising salmon in saltwater is rising at a steep rate of 55% from 2004 to 2014 driven by sanitary problems (a polite way of saying fish sewage, uneaten food, lice problems and diseases).

The cost of producing a kilo of salmon in ocean will have risen from 28NOK/kg in 2014 to, by 2020, 38 NOK/kg. That’s 44 NOK in five years. In other words, on land salmon will be cost competitive with in-ocean – even without the other factors. No one will buy in-ocean fish once they understand the environmental degradation of in-ocean feed lots.

There is also the cost of equipment, in-ocean at $10M NOK, but with the 75% subsidization for on-land systems in the EU, the result is a net $17M NOK for capital. And there are even more cost savings to be had.

Bjorsdal points out that the investment for in-ocean for the same production is actually $75M NOK (65 + 10M = 75), so on land is cheap cheap.

Other savings include yield per area, for example, 4 square metres can produce a metric tonne of salmon on-land. That means 1.2M metric tonnes can be produced on just 4.8 square kms of buildings. By comparison, the BC industry puts out only 83,000 metric tonnes from its in-ocean farms. BC could really use this on land and make more money and employ more people.

But, Bjordal points out, there is still another significant issue that is going to tip markets away from Norway’s polluting in ocean fish: cost, insurance and freight cost to ship salmon to market. The CIF in Oslo is 30NOK/kg; in Miami it is 45; Tokyo is 53.

What does this mean? It means that a big company that puts a big plant in a big city on land can sew up the salmon market for good. The margin in Tokyo is 23NOK/kg if the company can put product on the market for the Oslo CIF of 30. That’s a lot of room to work with.

And what does that room mean? It means that Norway cannot grow its fish and market unless it gets rid of the ‘sanitary’ issue, according to Bjordal. And, those costs are associated with in-ocean fish farming. And that also means weakening its laws, which is contrary to the public view of Norwegians, meaning: we are clean and wholesome, we have reduced our oil industry dramatically, guess it’s time for fish farming.

That means that Norway has to reduce its cost and lead in the on-land industry if it wants to continue as the world leader in salmon, Bjorsdal said. And that includes being there with on-land system to take control of the New York or Singapore, or Sao Paulo, or, etc. market with food right in the city on land.

Right now, at the tipping point, it looks like Aarskog and Marine Harvest are asleep at the switches.

KEY Document - 442 Fish Farm News Bites, Updated May 6, 2016

This article will be used for quick news bites on fish farm damage to environments and related seafood issues around the world. This note will be updated and you should check back from time to time. I think you will be taken aback by the contents. I am.

In one mouthful, the problems include: boom bust industry, billions made and lost, crisis in lice and disease, 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 seals and sea lions – more than 12,000 in BC so far, slavery, unpaid labour, taxpayers paying millions for diseased, dead fish – $135 Million in Canada, duelling 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 fungicide in USA seafood, fake industry awards, all the wild salmon in the Pacific ocean, more than a billion, put in peril... it goes on.

Here is a good post on Alexandra Morton's site regarding quite gross environmental damage in Norway where the same companies, Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood that operate in BC, come from. Fraud, illegal chemicals, jail sentences, lice, polluted wild fish stocks. Read: http://alexandramorton.typepad.com/alexandra_morton/2015/11/international-salmon-farming-news-fraud-cheating-fines-prison.html.

Along with Tortel in Chile, this is the first fish farm to be kicked out around the globe. This is a big step forward in putting fish farms on land and keeping their waste out of the ocean.

76. Fish Farms Always Expanding, Criticizing Country of Origin. One farm was just authorized in Ireland, but industry wants more. "Decision granting 3,500t biomass over 24 month period welcomed, but the decision is just the first, of a targeted 150 this year, to come out of a painfully slow approval process." Fish farms around the world go through a cycle of saying the laws are strict and great, then the laws prevent progress and then not enough new farms. It is a constant struggle, part of their communications spin..

71. Fish Farms Kill Seals. Scotland Fish farms have killed 1370 seals, shot in the head, since 2011. While the numbers are declining, (459 to 204), in Canada, scientists point out that the decline happens because seals have 10 km territories, so when the numbers go down, it doesn't mean the seals have moved on. What it means is that they are being made extinct in their range. See: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/outrage-hundreds-seals-secretly-slaughtered-5469847.

Now, in the UK, Marine Harvest is opening its own feed production facility. Growing processing capacity in UK means only the most efficient will survive. "With new UK Marine Harvest plant ramping up and second Morrisons plant soon to come online, overcapacity amid no volume growth spells tough times for retail processors." And, of course, this is in addition to the processers issues with respect to Young/Cargill/Sainbury.

24. Fish farms fish down the ocean food chain to feed carnvore fish. Because most of the world's forage fish have been caught, many billions of tonnes for fish farms, fish farms are fishing down the food chain all the way to krill, particularly in the Antarctic. What's lower: algae? The answer is to raise vegetarian fish on land, like tilapia. See: (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/antarctic-krill-fishery-under-pressure-from-growing-commercial-interest/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=8573008d4e-Americas_briefing_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-8573008d4e-92426209)

23. Fish farms abuse and kill sea lions. July 17, 2015. This happens all over the world and one would think that PETA would have come down hard on salmon farms over the decades. The current case is farm workers abusing and killing sea lions in Chile. These sentient creatures weight up to a ton. See: http://www.intrafish.com/news/article1416083.ece. See also: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/sernapesca-files-formal-complaint-over-salmon-farm-workers-animal-abuse/.

22. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farming.Close on the heels of the negatives below, now there is a boom suggestion in Norway. It ignores the huge environmental cost of increasing production by 5 times, meaning 500% in the next several decades. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/norway-can-up-exports-six-fold-over-next-35-years/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=7b553aef31-Salmon_roundup_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-7b553aef31-92426209.

21. Fish farms result in negative employment growth, by wiping out jobs in other sectors. Abalone sector in Tasmania shows job losses resulting from fish farms, protest to government. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-108/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209.

20. Residents all over the world overwhelmingly reject fish farms, while governments are in conflict with fish farms. NS trout farm gets licence renewal despite strong local opposition.

18. From the Strictest laws in the world to the weakest. Fish farms like to say, in individual jurisdictions, that they operate under the strictest laws in the world, and then behind the scenes lobby for the weakest laws, and that gives them leverage in other countries to first say they are the strictest, to the public, then lobby for weaker laws because they’ll have to move if it doesn’t happen. That is what is happening in Canada right now. See the following article for the communications spin that they like to use, which has been rebutted in many posts on this blog:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983063/77499/Canada-Fish-Farmers-Assoc-Says-Revamped-Fish-Farming-Regs-Will-Improve-Aquaculture-Practices.

17. Boom Bust Cycle - Gray Aqua in NF, in receivership in 2014 and in and out of problems, posts a boom harvest of 4.4 M pounds of salmon from Indian Tea Point in Facheau Bay.

14. Fish farms to run out of fish meal for food. Fish farms have been complicit in running down fish meal supplies around the world, among other issues like Asia continuing to fish small fish that should feed third world humans, and supplies will run out. Lux Research predicts demand will exceed supply as early as 2016. Alternatives include, chicken feathers, animal feces, as well as plant based proteins that have high environmental damage themselves, such as moving third world residents off rain forest, cutting an d burning it down and planting GMO soybeans, for instance. And feed companies are fishing down the bottom of the foodchain in Antarctica, fishing krill for feed. See:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/982675/77371/Aquacultures-Explosive-Growth-Means-Farmers-Are-About-to-Run-Out-of-Fish-Food.

13. Fish Farms are a boom bust industry and full of sewage pollution. Tasmania fish farms want to expand to 100 new sites just as citizens are complaining deeply about the pollution they cause in the ocean, and also inland fresh waterways. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/13/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-87/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=713066b029-Americas_briefing_Jul_13_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-713066b029-92426209.

12. Fish Farm takeovers result in lower employment.. The Tesco, Marine Harvest, Salmar Sainsbury and so on story looks to result in the loss of almost 1000 worker jobs at Young's Scottish Fraserburgh and Spey Valley sites. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/09/youngs-starts-consultation-which-may-see-fraserburgh-site-close/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=cf7ad559b0-Europe_briefing_Jul_10_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-cf7ad559b0-92426209.

11. Fish farm in-fighting on a multi-national level. Tesco switches salmon business to Salmar, Marine Harvest rival, responding to MH move to Sainsbury in the UK.

9. Fish farms kill seals worldwide. Ruling: Scotland fish farms to be 'named and shamed' that 'slaughter' protected seals and sea lions. Campaigners call for boycott of buying farmed salmon. See: http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/salmon-farms-that-slaughter-protected-seals-to-be-named-and-shamed-after-landmark-ruling-10373185.html. This problem can be solved by putting fish farms on land. Most readers will remember that in BC, Skuna Bay killed 65 seals in its nets two years ago and was fined $100,000 for killing them.

8. Boom, bust and carnivorous takeover nature of fish farming on the global scale. Fish farms are not about jobs and revenues.Santa Monica completes largest acquisition in its history. SM gloms American Fish and Seafood, Chesapeake Fish, LA Fish Company and Cactus Cove all at the same time. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/06/santa-monica-completes-largest-acquisition-in-its-history/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=74f3db7776.

7. Two more execs jump ship at Young's Fraserburgh plan, UK. The door revolves and out goes the self interested exec. And why are they doing this? The high stakes takeovers: Marine Harvest nabbed the Sainsbury contract, giving the loss to Youngs who is in bad shape now. In other words, the boom bust nature of fish farms.

6. Fish  farm executives jump ship whenever they feel like it.  Fish farming is a boom bust industry with personal interest and shareholders being the only bottom line. Four Marine Harvest execs break ranks and escape to Singapore to bring barramundi to the USA. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/06/former-marine-harvest-execs-reunite-to-bring-singapore-barramundi-to-us/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=85d427cff7-Americas_briefing_Jul_06_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-85d427cff7-92426209

5. Cold Norway summer leads to drastically reduced fish harvests. This problem can be completely eliminated by raising farmed salmon on land and controlling the temperature. See:
http://www.undercurrentnews.com/reports/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=801d4f5ade-Europe_briefing_Jul_06_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-801d4f5ade-92426209

4. Fish farming is an industry of high end takeovers and shareholders, not farmers and jobs. July 3 Nordic seafood, Oslo, wholesaler and sushi supplier, joins Lofotprodukt and Donstein Foods in holdings by the family, including Salmar. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/03/new-nordic-seafood-holding-makes-first-acquisition/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=d8f20ce11c-Americas_briefing_Jul_03_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-d8f20ce11c-92426209

2. Antibiotics in farmed fish, July 1, 2015. Chile used 563.2 tonnes, that's tonnes, not pounds of antibiotics in its farmed fish in 2014. Most of the fish is sold into the US market, which does not want medicated fish. See: Undercurrents, (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/01/antibiotic-use-in-chilean-salmon-increased-25-last-year/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=aa17358f13-Americas_briefing_Jul_01_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-aa17358f13-92426209)

Along with Tortel in Chile, this is the first fish farm to be kicked out around the globe. This is a big step forward in putting fish farms on land and keeping their waste out of the ocean.

76. Fish Farms Always Expanding, Criticizing Country of Origin. One farm was just authorized in Ireland, but industry wants more. "Decision granting 3,500t biomass over 24 month period welcomed, but the decision is just the first, of a targeted 150 this year, to come out of a painfully slow approval process." Fish farms around the world go through a cycle of saying the laws are strict and great, then the laws prevent progress and then not enough new farms. It is a constant struggle, part of their communications spin..

71. Fish Farms Kill Seals. Scotland Fish farms have killed 1370 seals, shot in the head, since 2011. While the numbers are declining, (459 to 204), in Canada, scientists point out that the decline happens because seals have 10 km territories, so when the numbers go down, it doesn't mean the seals have moved on. What it means is that they are being made extinct in their range. See: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/outrage-hundreds-seals-secretly-slaughtered-5469847.

Now, in the UK, Marine Harvest is opening its own feed production facility. Growing processing capacity in UK means only the most efficient will survive. "With new UK Marine Harvest plant ramping up and second Morrisons plant soon to come online, overcapacity amid no volume growth spells tough times for retail processors." And, of course, this is in addition to the processers issues with respect to Young/Cargill/Sainbury.

18. From the Strictest laws in the world to the weakest. Fish farms like to say, in individual jurisdictions, that they operate under the strictest laws in the world, and then behind the scenes lobby for the weakest laws, and that gives them leverage in other countries to first say they are the strictest, to the public, then lobby for weaker laws because they’ll have to move if it doesn’t happen. That is what is happening in Canada right now. See the following article for the communications spin that they like to use, which has been rebutted in many posts on this blog:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983063/77499/Canada-Fish-Farmers-Assoc-Says-Revamped-Fish-Farming-Regs-Will-Improve-Aquaculture-Practices.

14. Fish farms to run out of fish meal for food. Fish farms have been complicit in running down fish meal supplies around the world, among other issues like Asia continuing to fish small fish that should feed third world humans, and supplies will run out.

Alternatives include, chicken feathers, animal feces, as well as plant based proteins that have high environmental damage themselves, such as moving third world residents off rain forest, cutting an d burning it down and planting GMO soybeans, for instance. And feed companies are fishing down the bottom of the foodchain in Antarctica, fishing krill for feed.
