Our discussion was that I don't believe fish farms have caused the decline in our fish stocks. My skepticism was because there was no evedince that healthy fish even got out of our rivers (which I know there wasn't). You were going to help me see the light. It had nothing to do with industry proving anything. Just me knowing there has been death and doom in stream productivity for twenty years and you believing farms are the culprit. None in the myriad of reports you post do I find concrete evidence there has been healthy fry leaving our streams.
Please help me find this crucial evidence.
some numbers from our local waters 78-82% of summer steelhead smolts do not make it from second narrows to first narrows in Burrard inlet. they are now deep water released at light house park and numbers are now up 25%.
coho is similar with there numbers, i believe it is 80%. no deep water releasing in there future.
this has been peer reviewed and GLG i will send you a copy to read as you asked awhile ago.
