Look at this list, where the gross profit margins show just how much money is to be made because society does not make them pay for the environmental damage they cause. I have estimated that in BC alone the sewage cost that they escape but we have to pay is: $10.4B at the most conservative level I could calculate. At the high end of conservative it is: $31.4Billion
See the calculation here: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2017/02/fish-farm-sewage-huge-cost-to-bc.html.
See the profit margins on fish farms that don't pay for their sewage: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/08/increase-license-fees-to-32-to-40.html.
These images of profit margin are larger and more easy to read than on this post. Double click the items here to enlarge them enough to read.
This post shows that if we charged fish farm companies for licences the same as Norway taxes their companies, $32 t0 $40-million, per licence, that here that revenue that they would eat comes in at: "You need to include in your fish farm policies a drastic increase in license fees. Charging the same as in Norway would bring in for the 120 licences the industry claims it now has in BC: $32 X 120 = $3.8 Billion to $40 X 120 = $4.8 Billion. That is how much BC is subsidizing fish farms to ruin our oceans."
Now the updated profit margin list from Salmon Business, a good source of info on the global fish farm/seafood industry: As I have said, if you find it difficult to read, click on the image.
I have previously put up a post on profit margins here:
