A few years back when i was just north of victoria at a sushi restaurant it had atlantic as an option from this place. it was marketed as sustainable land based atlantic salmon on the menu.
there is also a coho based one in abbotsford thats scraping by but no one in bc really wants to touch farmed fish. the coho has the advantage of being the dark red thats is more sought after.
my point being is BC is not a market for land based fish farms and when you get into land based fish farms closer to the consumer base the better. so banning fish farms would likely be a huge economic killer in north island people where i live tho on the mainland could care less and if fish farms survive
so yeah say move them to land! but do so with the caveat that they likely won't be sticking around in bc!
Interesting opinion, however basing the future of the industry in BC on limited personal experiences is just that - limited. Let's see what plays out for real. If more people demand land based farmed salmon then that is where the market will go - simple business economics.
