Interesting Birdsnest posted the following;
“The science on prv at the very worst is only tagged as a "maybe there is a risk" and this only applies to spring salmon all of the other species seem to be unaffected”
He also created the thread
“Lets not forget the topic of this thread, PRV_minimal risk to fraser river socks.”
He also chooses to ignore (at least according the Dr. Marty, the Fish Farm scientist who originally said this virus does not exist on the West Coast), that Fish Farms brought their virus to our waters.
Birdsnest also asks…
“what makes hatchery production and sport fishing immune to the same protocols?”
Is he suggesting that the Fish Farm virus has spread to the wild population causing death and poor survival in Western Canada and the USA?
If so should both countries shut down all hatcheries? (Don't forget Washington State are shutting their Fish Farms and increasing their hatchery production..why?)
Birdsnest also said
“DC Ried the writer. Not a scientist or even a lawyer but more than willing to bend the facts.”
But ignore the fact that the same could be said of Fish Farm supporters Rob Fletcher and Fabian Dawson?
Round and round we go and back to topic of Birdsnest's thread…
“Peer Review concludes PRV transfer from Atlantic salmon farms poses minimal risk to Fraser River Sockeye.”
Which was his response to this earlier post by another member;
“Court quashes government PRV fish farm policy”

Birdsnest, I have the greatest respect for you and understand most of your posts and your passion for defending Fish Farms, but I find your posts are some times inconsistent and questionable.
In the opinion of most, Fish Farms worldwide have a proven history of adversely impacting wild stocks.
I am of the opinion the only answer it put Fish Farms on dry land and hope the damage they have done will somehow pass over a period of time!
