Would rather eat wild any day . Low fat content

Ya man. Help contribute to over-fishing instead. Worked out great for the East Coast.

Surely Shatner and Reynolds can cough up a quick "Sore-ree."

It's the Canadian Way!

Let’s not use natures bounty .

Steelhead, lots of fat perfect for cold smoking.

Low fat content in farmed salmon , I should have said .

Yep, that's what the East Coast fisheries said too. Now, I should clarify, there's a difference between eating fresh caught fish you caught yourself and eating commercially sourced wild fish. Commercially sourced wild fish produces a lot of dead weight, ie: they catch lots of other marine species they aren't fishing for which ultimately end up dead and unused.

Set phasers to "annihilate."

Not so true with the salmon fishery . Gill nets allow you to release unwanted fish alive and those are generally other salmon . Seine nets target schools of salmon with little by catch . Even trollers catch mostly the targeted species with some rock fish and halibut on the lowest gear . You are thinking trawlers which drag the bottom and catch everything . That and targeting bait fish killed the east coast .

And where did I say my salmon aren’t sport caught ?

You didn't. I just wanted to clarify my position.

You are thinking trawlers which drag the bottom and catch everything.

Even trawlers are cleaning up their act-trawls no longer exclusively fish the bottom many trawls are designed to be 'flown' at midwater depths thus targeting schools of certain types Rockfish but not touching the benthic environment at all.

Me too, but this is about jobs and the coastal economy, not diet.

 

[Taxslave2]

So, once again we have white foreigners dictating how our coastal residents should live. The only industry many costal reserves have is their aquaculture. Not like someone in Klemtu can commute to Vancouver to work at rotten ronnies. Another interesting thing came out of this destroying of jobs. Many of the bands opposing fish farms are not even on the coast.

I know Klemtu of old actually went to an Anglican service in their little church; it's a classic dead end and if people want to live there it's their business-no reason for anyone else to give a shit though.
