The Alaskan salmon farmers will be happy. Btw do they do sealice counts on the 1.5 billion salmon they release each year that compete with wild salmon? Ever think that may enhance the lice problem also? Just thinking outside the box lol. :)

Old news.

This one is current, coming to the waters near you? :(

Chris likes to throw this stuff on the wall and come back later to see if any stuck. Because he cites countries with totally different salmon farming conditions, different salmonid species, and varying environmental regulations, as they apply to BC and Washington, very little does.

Keep trying though .. ;D

But they're usually the same hacks we have here or divisions of them. That's part of the problem Dave. If they can't run a peanut stand there why should they be trusted here? The only people that blow the horns are the feedlots or their mouthpieces. They must be double jointed to be able to pat their own backs so furiously. There's NOTHING independent from salmonfarmingunmonitored or salmonfarmingnonsense.

OH BTW - I still owe you $10 and I forgot to give it to Chris at the hockey game.Great repair! I'll throw in a bonus for my tardiness.

Nova, the repair is on me. Your pm when I lost my dog Molly really made an impression as to your character, and our lunches haven't changed my mind ;)
Now, just admit there are 2 coasts where salmon are farmed and the conditions, and practices, are totally different and we are good, lol!!

Debunking fake news that does not back up what they say with facts.

Independent biologist Alexandra Morton said the spill could have been worse, since juvenile pink and chum salmon — which eat insects from the surface — will soon pass through the area.

Actually insects, if any, make up a very small portion of their diet at the juvenile stage. Mostly made up of other items like amphipods, copapods, decapods, and euphausiids.

You just know she had to say something about this, and as usual it was embarrassing.

So it's OK if just a little of their diet is poisoned with diesel..... :o

Ah, that's your comment. I was just stating the facts about their diet. Feel free to dispute the information with your own alternative facts.
