DFO Conflict of Interest and SCAMS

The article by Stan Proboszcz of Watershed Watch about conflict of interest in DFO's science processes regarding fish farms should be standard reading for anyone with an interest in putting fish farms on land, raising a herbivore.

See: http://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/april-2018/integrity-of-the-dfos-science-advisory-process-in-question/.

The question is: "Does Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFOs) science advisory process have integrity when tasked with answering questions on salmon farming? If there is any hope of changing the trajectory of many iconic but endangered wild salmon stocks, there must be a resolution to political and industrial interference that continues to influence fisheries science advice at the federal level."

Stan goes on at length detailing problems with DFO. What is really needed is to take DFO out of the situation entirely, but this seems an unlikely outcome, even though it is needed to  end the conflict of interest, and political science from this taxpayer funded group on the side of global multi-national, multi-billion dollar corporations.

And it is independent scientists and citizens on one side and DFO/fish farms on the other side. It should not be this way:

"Since 2001, a scientific debate has been active in British Columbia around parasitic salmon lice from open-net salmon farms and their impacts on wild fish. Two “camps” of scientific opinion have been obvious. On one side, academics and NGO scientists have published articles in peer-reviewed journals detailing the negative effects parasites from salmon farms can have on migrating wild salmon. On the other, government and industry-supported scientists have published papers that cast doubt on these conclusions, thereby fuelling the debate and encouraging the continued operation of salmon farms on wild fish migration routes."

It just shouldn't be this way. Trudeau et al are in deep trouble in BC over Kinder Morgan, and also fish farms, but being from Ottawa where there are no fish farms, it is easy ignore the problems. My suggestion is putting a fish farms in the Rideau Canal and below the Parliament buildings in the Ottawa River. In no time flat, the smell would make DFO and everyone else hate fish farms as much as citizens who have to live with them.

" The DFO is the regulator of the salmon-farming industry, but it also promotes the industry and their products. These dual roles were identified by the 2012 federal Cohen Commission on the decline of BC salmon stocks as a potential conflict of interest that may impede DFO’s ability to protect wild fish stocks. Justice Cohen recommended that the federal government remove industry promotion from DFO. An expert panel of the Royal Society of Canada reached a similar conclusion — that DFO’s conservation of biodiversity may be impeded by its relationship with industry. More recently, DFO scientist Kristi Miller broke ranks and testified to a parliamentary committee, raising concern the agency’s science may be influenced by the industry. Despite this, and a commitment by the prime minister to implement all of Justice Cohen’s recommendations, no known action has been taken to remove the salmon-farming promotional mandate from DFO."


Stan goes on: "DFO’s scientific stance seems to diminish the relevance of a particularly worrisome virus — piscine reovirus (known as PRV) — as a risk to wild salmon. As in the salmon lice debate, DFO appears to favour Scientific Certainty Argumentation Methods (SCAMs). Environmental sociologist William Freudenburg, who coined the term SCAMs and studied their use in the climate change debate, wrote:

Given that most scientific findings are inherently probabilistic and ambiguous, if agencies can be prevented from imposing any regulations until they are unambiguously “justified,” most regulations can be defeated or postponed, often for decades, allowing profitable but potentially risky activities to continue unabated."

This sounds a lot like what happens in fish farms around the world. After all, in BC, the PR people are Hill and Knowlton, the very company that big tobacco hired to tell them they did not know cigarettes caused cancer for decades after everone else in the world knew.

"Within the context of SCAMs, we can compare three conclusions from DFO’s 2015 CSAS report on PRV with more recent published conclusions from academics, NGO scientists and Kristi Miller’s lab.

• 2015 DFO conclusion 1: “There is no evidence from laboratory studies in British Columbia and Washington State that PRV infection is associated with any disease state, including HSMI [heart and skeletal muscle inflammation]”
  Wessel et al. 2017: PRV can cause heart and skeletal muscle inflammation
• 2015 DFO conclusion 2: “HSMI has not been reported on BC salmon farms”
  Kristy Miller’s lab 2017: HSMI was reported on BC salmon farms in 2017
• 2015 DFO conclusion 3: The information suggests “a low likelihood that the presence of this virus in any life stage of farmed Atlantic and Pacific Salmon would have a significant impact on wild Pacific Salmon populations.”
  Morton et al. 2017 Salmon farms may spread PRV to wild salmon and impede their ability to migrate upstream and spawn."

There is much more than this, but I leave it to you to go read the  article.

Stinging Indictment of Farmed Salmon as Food - Dr. Mercola

"If you’re aware of the health benefits of animal-based omega-3 fats and the fact that salmon is a great source, you may be shocked to discover that farmed salmon has more in common with junk food than health food. This is the grim reality revealed in Nicolas Daniel’s documentary “Fillet-Oh-Fish,” which includes exclusive footage from fish farms and factories across the globe."

This quote is from the Dr. Mercola site, March 24, 2018, so it is current information:  https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/03/24/why-farmed-salmon-are-toxic.aspx?utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20180324Z1_UCM&et_cid=DM200215&et_rid=255203834.

You will recall the EU graphic of the concentration of dioxins, PCBs, etc. in farmed fish: 

 

In fact it is 10 times the amount, on average, or 1000% higher than other meat products.

Here is Mercola's summary of his article:

Story at-a-glance

• Salmon farming is a disaster both for the environment and for human health, and tests show farmed salmon is about five times more toxic than any other food tested
• In animal feeding studies, mice fed farmed salmon developed obesity and diabetes — effects researchers believe are related to toxic exposures
• Besides pesticides and antibiotics used in fish farming, the most significant source of toxic exposure is the dry pellet feed, which contains dioxins, PCBs and other toxic pollutants
• PCB concentrations in farmed salmon are, on average, eight times higher than in wild salmon
• Farmed salmon also does not have the nutritional profile of wild salmon, containing more than 5.5 times more omega-6 fat than wild salmon, which further skews rather than corrects most people’s omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. 

 A quote on the sewage: "Below the salmon farms dotted across the Norwegian fjords is a layer of waste some 15 meters (49.2 feet) deep."

One of the videos on the site shows that you can actually squeeze the oil out of farmed fish, and frying wild and farmed reveals that farmed fish has several more multiples of fat.

Quote: "Farmed salmon suffer less visible but equally disturbing mutations. The flesh of the farmed salmon is oddly brittle and breaks apart when bent — a highly abnormal feature. The nutritional content is also wildly abnormal. Wild salmon contain about 5 to 7 percent fat, whereas the farmed variety can contain anywhere from 14.5 to 34 percent. For a visual demonstration of this difference in fat content, check out the video above"

The fat is from the feed, particularly fish meal and fish oil, which is where the cancer-causing chemicals arrive from as well.

Quote: "Farmed and Dangerous⁹ provides an example of a salmon feed label, and the ingredients are very telling in terms of where these excess omega-6 fats are coming from. The first nine ingredients in Skretting’s “Winter Plus 3500″ salmon feed are poultry meal, fish meal, poultry fat, fish oil, whole wheat, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, feather meal and rapeseed oil. These are all ingredients that no wild salmon has ever encountered and is about as far from a species-appropriate diet as you can get."

Note that farmed fish are fed chicken feathers. I asked EWOS six times whether their feed contained feces, and got no response. If I were a feed manufacturer, I would want to clear up that my product contained no feces. Not EWOS. Sure leads one to think that EWOS puts feces in its fish feed.

After all, many fish farm operations around the world regularly use feces as feed. For example, tropical ones where a hog farm is built on a hill beside a pond and the hog feces are shoveled into the pond for the fish. Once the pond is full of fish feces, it is taken out and placed on the hog hill for them to eat. And so on.

Feces in farmed fish feed: 1. http://www.purezing.com/living/food_articles/living_articles_7salmon.htm. And, 2. http://www.eatthis.com/shocking-facts-about-farmed-salmon/. And, 3. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/01/12/what-do-fish-farms-use-for-feed.aspx. And, 4. https://www.naturalnews.com/037576_farmed_seafood_animal_feces_China.html. 

Google this to get a long list of articles on feces in farmed fish feed: https://www.bing.com/search?q=feces+in+farmed+fish+feed&pc=MOZD&form=MOZLBR.

Mercola also goes on to point out what  poor nutrition you get from farmed salmon versus wild salmon: "In a global assessment of farmed salmon published in the January 2004 issue of Science,² 13 persistent organic pollutants were found. Farmed salmon also does not have the nutritional profile of wild salmon. Rather than being a wonderful source of much-needed omega-3 fats, farmed salmon contains far more omega-6 than omega-3, which can have deleterious health ramifications, seeing how most people are deficient in omega-3 while getting far more omega-6 than they need."

Note that this study is the Hites et al one in Science, Jan 9, 2004, that the fish farm industry, government, paid science, fake website, including in BC, etc. mounted a smear campaign to wipe out the science even though it was true. You will recall that is where I decided never to believe anything fish farms say, until I ground proof it. The David Miller article on this is here: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2011/10/key-document-fish-farm-tactics.html.

Just how bad is farmed salmon? "Overall, farmed salmon are five times more toxic than any other food tested." 

One of the big secrets in fish feed is that ethoxyquin is added. If you want to read just how bad ethoxyquin feed is, hit this link: https://www.bing.com/search?q=ethoxyquin+-+fish+feed&pc=MOZD&form=MOZLBR. The articles go on and on.

Ethoxyquin is a pesticide! "Ethoxyquin was developed as a pesticide by Monsanto in the 1950s. Its use is strictly regulated on fruits, vegetables and in meat, but not in fish, because it was never intended for such use."

Ethoxyquin is an antioxidant, but it is also used because without it, fish feed may explode in transit. Yes, folks, it's hard to make this stuff up, but brought to you by fish farms (you will remember that BC fish farms use Hill and Knowlton, the PR people who taught tobacco CEOs not to know their products caused cancer).

And how bad is this pesticide on humans? We're not completely sure because, "the effects of this chemical on human health have never been established. The one and only study ever done on ethoxyquin and human health was a thesis by Victoria Bohne, a former researcher in Norway who made a number of disturbing discoveries, including the fact that ethoxyquin can cross the blood brain barrier and may have carcinogenic effects. Bohne was pressured to leave her research job after attempts were made to falsify and downplay her findings."

You will recall the post I did that has about 20 scientists who have been harassed and had ruined careers because fish farm companies go after them:  https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/06/scientists-harassed-by-fish-farms.html. It really is this bad.

Anything more? Well, there is this, which is Norwegian neoliberalism at its intense best: "Others have linked the secret use of ethoxyquin in Norwegian fish farming and the lack of scientific investigation into its effects to the Norwegian minister of fisheries and coastal affairs, Lisbeth Berg-Hansen, who also happens to be a major shareholder in a commercial salmon farm, and has held many high-ranking positions within the fishing industry."

Remember her name, as you will see it time and again in text that points out problems in the fish farm industry in Norway. We would call this a conflict of interest, just like DFO has with fish farms in Canada, and how they sucker in politicians with the jobs and revenue spin. You will recall that I have rebutted this false claim a dozen times on this site - with the false figures beside the true figures.

One more thing, about fish feed components: fish farms like to call fish offal 'trimmings' a polite word for the dregs left after filleting a fish - tails, fins, brains, stomachs, intestines, skin, scales, the list goes on. So farmed fish are fed fish. Hmm.

Here is a comment from the Mercola site: "fish waste has become a “highly valued commodity” used in processed foods. At less than 15 cents per kilo (2.2 pounds), fish heads and tails, and what little meat is left over after filleting, are a real profit maker. Virtually nothing actually goes to waste anymore. Fish waste is washed and ground into a pulp, which is then used in prepared meals and pet food." Yes, that said in prepared meals.

Eat wild salmon, and if a friend buys farmed salmon, tell them you will buy them/catch them a wild salmon in exchange for the farmed salmon. Oh, and tell them all the stuff in this article, giving them the links so they can go look for themselves. That's the important point on this site, that I give the links, that I only say what I have a reference for, as in it's all true, folks.

MOST POPULAR POSTS - March 2018

I have listed the most popular posts on Fish Farm News and Science, as in, this blog, since August 2016. They are posted on the first day of the following month, or close to it.

This posts lists the most popular posts on this site during March 2018. There have been some big responses to a number of these posts.

1. DFO Fibs on Farmed Salmon Escapes - BC: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/03/dfo-fibs-on-farmed-salmon-escapes-bc.html. 3,000 page views in four days, that's how many Canadians and other readers read this post that catches DFO with its pants down, fibbing about escapes in BC. You should read it.

2. Wild Salmon Plan: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/wild-bc-salmon-plan-contact-your-mla.html. I have drawn up a plan for bringing back BC salmon. Many, many people read this post, making it the second most viewed post on this site for March.

3. Fish Farm Spin - READ THIS SUMMARY ARTICLE:  http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/01/fish-farm-spin-dc-reid-read-this.html. This one is intended to cover the whole subject at one time, and gives you 35 reference documents to go away and read them for yourself. A good source document on the subject for students. And, again, hundreds of views.

4. Big Tobacco, Big Fish Farms - Pretty Much the Same: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/big-toobacco-big-fish-farms-pretty-much.html. Fish farms in BC use the same PR firm that taught big tobacco not to know its product caused cancer decades after the rest of us knew it. That is how bad the spin they create is, and it's coming at you.

5. Otto Langer On Farmed Fish - 500,000 Through Leakage: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/03/otto-langer-on-farmed-fish-escapes.html.

10. DFO Asleep at the Switches - Take II: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/03/dfo-asleep-at-switches-take-ii.html. Among other things, this post had the Stan P committee to whom DFO would not give the research to conclude that sockeye did not catch IHN from vaccinated farmed fish.

BAD NEWS BITES - Updated Aug 8, 2018

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.

I am at my ninth post. In little more than two years, I have found 3,000 BAD NEWS BITES. 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.

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 3,000 BAD NEWS BITES.

"Most models to predict human exposure to pollutants typically focus on people in relation to their local environment. Dr. Ng's model compared a variety of factors to find the best predictor of PBDEs in farmed salmon, including pollutants inhaled through gills, how the fish metabolized and eliminated pollutants, and of course, the concentration of pollutants in the feed.

She says, "We found that feed is relatively less important in areas that already have high concentrations of pollutants in the environment. However, in otherwise clean and well-regulated environments, contaminated feed can be thousands of times more significant than the location of the farm for determining the PBDE content of salmon fillets.""

162. Disease - PRV Causes Disease in Wild Chinook - Non HSMI - BC, Riddell/Miller:  https://www.psf.ca/news-media/prv-virus-may-cause-disease-chinook-salmon. "
“Our study used novel molecular tools to show that PRV-1 was intimately involved in the development of jaundice/anemia in Chinook salmon,” said Dr. Kristi Miller-Saunders, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and lead scientist in the SSHI. “The study also reveals a difference in PRV-1 sensitivity between species that could easily explain why the virus causes inflammation in Atlantic salmon and cell death in Chinook salmon. Based on the results, we concluded that Chinook salmon may be at more than a minimal risk of disease from exposure to PRV occurring on salmon farms.” This is the link to the paper: https://www.psf.ca/sites/default/files/ISH%20Manuscript%20%2B%20Suppl%20mat.pdf.

“The findings in the most recent study add to the concerns of scientists, environmental groups and the BC salmon community that PRV is having negative effects on wild Pacific salmon in our coastal waters,” concluded Riddell. “I certainly hope that industry and regulators consider these findings seriously as they look at the future of the aquaculture industry in BC.”"
