Somewhat immune to Slice. That's BS. Lice have very short life cycles, and salmon are harvested, how can you explain an immunity ? De-lice like Cylence has been used in livestock for at least 30 years, no immunity yet. 15 years of Slice, please. Dilution rates in the Pacific Ocean,please. Last great salmon runs in Alaska ? Your kinda out of the loop eh guy ? Ask a guide on the Kenai how business has been ! Alaska ranches salmon. Millions of salmon. Only difference is they are Pacific species, and have no pens..think containment farm compared to a grazing ranch, it's still fish farming,large schools of farm raised fish consuming tons of bio-mass. Boots on the ground means YOUR boots ! Farm salmon hits shelves within 48 hrs. If the customer has storage problems is that the industry's fault ? I'm not even a fish farmer lol. I don't see how an exploding demand for sea food will be met through wild stocks. I believe in aqua culture. Go on a tour, go to the processing plant in Browns Bay.small margins....large losses due to disease...entire pens shut down due to disease (only to claim insurance from our government)..recorded disasters all over the world...."just think about it"... as you say....why would anyone in their right minds take the risk in OUR waters with our pristine ocean to allow your fish farms to pollute and spread disease and sea lice!!!...AND... oh yes...sea lice that are now somewhat immune to "Slice" and pose another great problem for you to deal with! Both the "slice" AND sea lice.
Alaska, where the last great runs of Salmon still thrive, will not let your farms in...how ***????? they won't take the risk...no matter what your propaganda says!!!! Right, or wrong???? You tell me why you are not allowed to introduce Fish Farms in Alaska???
You mention " Boots on the ground"
A friend who owns a restaurant just recently told me of soft flesh fish from your farms that were delivered to him, that he had to throw away.. not an unusual occurrence according to him....you would no doubt know the name of this not uncommon soft flesh disease...I can't remember the name(old age eh)..it has certainly come up before.
Bottom line.... those in the industry will continue to defend their livelihood no matter what.
Why would anyone expect differently
