Peer Review concludes PRV transfer from Atlantic salmon farms poses minimal risk t

That's a great article,
Thanks Agent.

It is completely ignorant to ignore the overwhelming science such as Birdsnest seems to do over and over. Time for this industry to shut down as it currently operates. The sonner this happens, the sooner the fish will get a break and hopefully its not too late. Shame on those involved in this industry.

So are you going to be honest and post the study by garver in 2016 that show minimal effects of PRV on pacifics or do I have to do it again for you. You seem to know everything. Do you know when you are being dishonest and misleading?

You are free to post any science paper that you want but if you don't mind could I ask you not to make it personal like that. I know it's hard but let's agree not to go there.

East coast is blocking this, the ENGOs are on the wrong coast nowadays, need to change public opinion in the Maritimes.

How much farmed salmon is
Ending up in Toronto?

At the news conference, the CSAS panel indicated low to high certainty of transmisability and low to high certainty of impact of that transmissability.

That hardly sounds like certainty.

can a court not file an injunction to prevent the transfers? directly aimed at the companies? failure to comply and the CEO goes to jail

Why are the courts failing to do this?

Canada keen to support technology overhaul for salmon farms: fisheries minister

“There is scientific debate out there, so we need to address the issues that people have expressed concern about,” he said. “Should we be siting fish farms on wild salmon migration pathways? Given the debate around pathogens, probably not.”

Environmental groups have raised concerns that net-pen farms may harm wild fish through the transfer of sea lice and other pathogens, most recently pressing the industry to test farmed fish for piscine reovirus (PRV).

“We are moving toward area-based management which means moving to sites that are more environmentally suitable, where communities are supportive and — in the long run — looking at closed-containment technology and how we get to the point where those (designs) are economically viable,” said Wilkinson.

As people transition away from red meat and the output of the world’s wild fisheries declines, demand for farmed seafood is expected to increase.

“The answer to feeding those people will not be to catch more fish, so there is an opportunity to solve that challenge through aquaculture if we can do it sustainably,” he said.
