@McNameeJason @LanceStewardson Exactly. Yet, the general public overly trusts NGO's and is overly cynical about corporations. #aquaculture #salmon

@LanceStewardson The same goes for NGO's and charities where directors have no legal responsibility for the the activities of the organization, so the organization can do anything it wants. Directors of corporations have fiduciary obligations where bad decisions have legal repercussions.

This hits home just a bit.

Remind you of anything? #aquaculture #salmon facebook.com/share/v/14a2nb…

Who are BC salmon farmers? They're the people behind $1.2 billion in annual economic activity and over 4,000 full-time jobs. They work in 100% in agreement with First Nations and contribute $437 million to over 1,400 local supplier businesses. These farmers live in the communities where they work, raise their families on the coast, and are deeply committed to quality food and environmental stewardship. Choose local, support farmers, strengthen communities 🍽️🇨🇦 #BuyBC @eatdrinkbuybc #supportlocal #farmers #bcsalmonfarmers #salmon

@LanceStewardson Hope her research on orcas isn't as ideologically flawed as her "work" on salmon farms was. She is a poster child for what is wrong with science and the peer-reviewed process. Thanks for exposing the issues that the scientific community needs to correct. #aquaculture #salmon

Iranian aquaculture - I thought that in these times, and thinking of the wonderful Persian people, it would be interesting to show where they are with respect to aquaculture. I had the opportunity to visit and give a lecture on fish health a few years ago. I did not realize that they have the largest rainbow trout farming sector in the world! Wonderful, intelligent and warm people, with an incredibly rich and historic culture. Thinking of my colleagues in these times. #salmon #aquaculture

Nothing on aquaculture being a solution? #aquaculture #salmon pew.org/en/research-an…

PROGRESS ON SALMON FARMING REFORMS Scottish salmon farms are operating as they should and no further regulation is needed according to preliminary research on fish deaths. @ScotlandSalmon fishfocus.co.uk/progress-on-sa…

A new regional survey shows Atlantic Canadians...see aquaculture as a source of jobs, food security and economic strength, while British Columbia remains stuck in a salmon farming debate shaped by politics, activism and misinformation. #SalmonFarming seawestnews.com/aquaculture-su…

From licensed food animal veterinarian: A claptrap of fearmongering nonsense and completely of context and risk quantification, with obvious misunderstanding of what AMR is and isn't. What is wrong with people? There are very strict judicious use guidelines that food animal farmers and their veterinarians follow. What is your motive for being so falsely alarmist?

Salmon farming of nonnative Atlantic salmon in BC Canada, and use of antibiotics which spread in the marine ecosystem, risks increasing antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and in turn, human health. seachoice.org/aquacultures-r… #salmon #bcpoli @BBCEarth @CBC @CTVNews @UBCIC @UBCoceans

#Atlantic #Canada residents support #aquaculture within their region at a record rate: 85%, up 4 points from 2024. #fisheries #fishing #seafood

@BCSalmonFarmers @EatDrinkBuyBC The unscientific, pseudoscientific backlash against this wonderful industry is one of the strangest things that I have encountered in my near 4-decade career as a licensed fish health professional. What motivates people to sem so oblivious? #aquaculture #salmon

When you buy BC farm-raised salmon, you're supporting local jobs, feeding communities, strengthening the economy, and choosing sustainable, nutritious food. One choice, so many benefits. #BuyBC @eatdrinkbuybc #supportlocal #bcfarmers #bcsalmonfarmers #salmon
