Summary:

Fish farms are deliberately concealing their record on disease from the public record, and governments are colluding with fish farms to permit this practice and to allow the importation of diseased salmon eggs. Net-containment fish farms should be completely removed from wild fish-bearing waters. The logging industry has also done its share of harm. The new draft aquaculture regulations are concerning due to their ambiguity and because they aim to grant fish farm companies immunity from the laws that safeguard the wild.
