I am doing this for free because I stand for wild salmon. That is my whole motivation. <br /><br />Fish farms are motivated only by trying to make billions of dollars. <br /><br />The article you mention fairly points out that the science says Atlantic salmon cannot fertilize wild Pacific salmon or push them aside, and have not reproduced successfully in freshwater themselves.<br /><br />On the other hand, on the east coast of Canada and the US, every river within 300 km of an Atlantic salmon fish farm has escaped farm fish reducing the genetic diversity of local wild Atlantics.<br /><br />The only way forward for fish farms in BC is on land. It is not worth destroying 100 million BC salmon and then working around the Pacific, for the sake of the industry's very small number of jobs - 820. Fish farms will never amount to much in economic effect.DC Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336007291604845848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880129387856188740.post-38963182288277227942011-12-28T08:38:22.625-08:002011-12-28T08:38:22.625-08:00I think your way off base here.

Of course that was before you sold out to foreign funded special interest groups.Barbenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153800335893661323noreply@blogger.com
