There are to many examples to call you out on this. First if I work in a hospital lung cancer ward I likely know allot about lung cancer even if I am a nurse. If I am the stick boy for the Canucks I likely know allot about the nhl. If i am a janitor at the vancouver aquarium I likely know more about the animals there than most people. If i am secretary in the hospital I know far more about the hospital than the average walk in.
If I am a dentist assistant I know far more about dentistry than the guy getting the drill.
I know you will try to discredit my opinion at all cost but the reality is I know stuff about salmon farms because I work on them. You may post all the links you like of which many I cant help but to notice have the DONATE button but it does not mean they are correct. Funny you didn't post the cohen commision because I cant imagine that your links didn't get reviewed there. After a 26 million$ review the response from cohen sure isn't going off on your links like you do. THat says something to me. IT was mortons idea to do the enquiry and now you dont post it. Its the all time complete summary of all research ever done submitted and reviewed. This was done for the public so I feel good in the content of the report. Which does not say the sky is falling like you always are, mr science guy with the tunnel vision.
so birdsnest, you are arguing that pesticides are not used to control sea lice???? can you provide a link for me indicating just how sea lice are being controlled in the net pens? and please, it is obvious that sea ice and net pens go hand in hand. the question is how is this addressed by the industry.
No, no link. It is basic knowledge that where there are areas that have low salinity available to a fish population sea lice populations are pretty much ZERO. This situation certainly does exist on in a number of salmon farms in bc. I am confident that charlie and englishman will agree with me on this but in a public forum? Not so sure. We'll see. Naturally, in these circumstances treatments for lice are not necessary.

Nice of you to point out people that don't have the cognitive domain to interact on a public forum biggreenmachine. We are discussing a topic that affects us all on a PUBLIC website where a fishing enthusiast can relate, learn, and Discuss a very serious matters pertaining to everyone who lives on this great coast and cares about the sustainability and enhancement of wild salmon. if your trying to call somebody without stating their name that's pretty pathetic, most of us on here have not stated anything that we would not say to the person in public and don't need to beat around the bush. Act like you own a pair!
I happened to have a friend who ran a fish farm in San Mateo bay by Barkley Sound in the early seventies. He was also into scuba-diving like our group. That was the first time I set foot on a fishfarm. There were a lot of times after that. So I got to see what was going on at an earlydays fishfarm.
At that time they were just coming in. None of this information was bandied around back then.....because problems didn't appear to have come up yet.
Alex Morton is not infallible. Neither is anyone else. If she made a mistake or two....so what.
Everybody makes mistakes now and then. Jesus made mistakes...God made mistakes ( he allowed the Dodge Dakota to be invented so I rest my case...)
Einstein made mistakes.......
No-one is an unassailable paragon of perfection............that said, like others have pointed out...she is not working alone
and is backed in her findings in many instances by peers who have more knowledge than she does.
So by rights if fresh water/low salinity kills off sealice then there shouldn't be any on the "returner" Chinooks I catch in Alberni Inlet in late August up by Polly's Point......
Wrong......I've never caught one there that didn't have 'em.
