Interesting read Bob.  I knew cc salmon farming was expensive but had no idea it was x7 over net penned fish.  For sure, hard to find investors in this and one wonders how long the Namgis experiment will last.

Here's another link to a video about the potential aquaculture opportunities in the US.

Watched the video. I find it funny that fish farm critics keep bringing up how farmed salmon is so unsafe to eat because of PCBs; however, when you look at the diet of the average American citizen and the actual risk of PCB-related cancers from farmed salmon it actually pretty clear where the real problem is and what people need to be eating more of. Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity (especially in children) far outweigh any risk that farm salmon pose.  Folks should go to Dallas-Ft.Worth airport and see what food is served there. It's a haven for the brown food group.  That's the real health problem. Aquaculture is going to take off in the US.  They are not going to keep importing at the rate they are now when they can do more of it themselves - and they know they can.  It's only a matter of time.

Thread has been dying lately, time to wake the boys. ;D http://www.nature.com/news/nine-years-of-censorship-1.19842?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews

See what you get when scientists can speak ...  Kristi Miller Saunders talks about the 2:50 minute mark.  Chris won't like it.

Not sure why I have to get an App to read the full article Chris. Does it fund Doc Morton never getting it right? Bin there done that. :)

Good to hear from you as the rest of the boys have now gone into hiding due to the latest news. As Dave loved to say, this story on this link is 3 years old now. ;D ;D

Have a good weekend and hope you are having some good fishing.
