Ok but....Ms Morton and her followers continuously misrepresent how virus testing works and keep misrepresenting what other scientists actually said. The farmed Chinook Salmon from Creative is a perfect example of this. Fish farm critics can say whatever they want, but the facts are the facts here: There is no evidence that what Dr. Miller found (in the ISA segment 7 test) is the cause of jaundice in farmed Chinook Salmon at Creative. Dr. Miller even goes on record as saying there is no indication what she found has any correlation with jaundice syndrome. If there is hard evidence that proves otherwise then let's see it. The fact is that if you look through the Cohen Final Report, transcript and exhibits you won't find what supports the opinion that Creative farmed Chinook are dying from whatever Dr. Miller found.
Somehow farm critics who seem to rally behind whatever Dr. Miller says and does continuously misrepresent her work. As I said before, farm critics cannot wave the flag of trying to protect science while at the same time doing their part to suppress and misrepresent the findings of science that may not subscribe to their views. So, although I see your point about our current leadership back east, what further purpose does it serve to continuously make false claims which mislead the public? Are your interests served well by being told false claims about Creative farmed Chinook.....or would you rather know the facts of the matter, even if they do not subscribe to your views of the industry, especially from the individuals directly involved who are apparently your go-to scientists (i.e. Dr. Miller)?
Not sure who you are grouping in your 'followers'. I think alot of people do use info from many sources,and use it to make their point.That is their right to free speech.
I read alot of the info re testing,etc,and it seems that Dr. Miller has nothing to lose in stating her facts as qualified researcher.In fact she was 1 of the scientists on staff by dfo that I think dfo muzzled when they didnt like her results.
Creative salmon is ,I think a more sustainable way to produce salmon,and regardless of who approved the organic license,dont you think it makes them more accountable for environmental standards.Is that what everyone wants?
As for the jaundice,I think thats a red herring,this past year while I was fishing the Vedder,witnessed this in a pink salmon,He swam in front of me ,beat himself to death on the rocks.Didnt think about it at the at first.When I looked at him later ,very noticeable that he was yellow all over,even his flesh.Not being a scientist,could this have been jaundice in a pink salmon.Not to be alarmist but just raising the possibility that it can happen in all species.
