There is evidence that disease from the 70+ salmon farms on the
migration route of Fraser sockeye represents the perhaps the biggest
threat to our wild fish.This film illustrates the basic dynamics of
salmon migration routes, diseases in farms and our governments role in
the depletion of our most precious resource. produced by volunteer
efforts. For more films visit CallingfromtheCoast.com. For Information

dfo should welcome alex morton… her research is the truth,she is the most knowlegable person involved. thats right the govn. could care less about wild salmon,get rid of the commercial,and give rest to the natives. Gordon idiot Cambell said himself the economy comes first… his legacy will be the destroying our west coast… farms, oil, watever,kill the fish ,log the valleys,dam the rivers… our govn. would rather have farms as the are cheaper to manage. a thriving wild stock,and a booming commercial fishing,takes time and a hell of a lot money to manage, fisheries and coast guard ships cost huge,not boats, ships with sometimes 40 to 70 people aboard. to me its pretty simple in one area, if a researher does a beach seine aand catches say 400 smolts,and say 85 to 90 % are affected with numerous sea lice, and its proven if a smolt get more then 10% of its body covered ,they die…. ok why do they die,because of sea lice, where did they get such high levels of sea lice, and how do we prevent or fix this ? wat is the source of these juvinile lice, adult and such high numbers… pretty fricken simple…
Saying that government wants to bring about the end of wild salmon stocks sounds a bit strange.
If the critics of fish farming are wanting to ensure their credibility they should abandon such criticism. I, for one, don’t believe it. If anything we’re dealing with more simple explanations: ignorance and benign neglect.
