Résumé :
La Commission devrait reconnaître les liens entre le pou du poisson issu de l’aquaculture et la mortalité de nombreux saumoneaux. Elle devrait recommander l’interdiction de l’aquaculture dans des cages à filets en mer.

Représentations :
I enjoy seeing the Adams River Salmon Run every 4 years and I fish for salmon at least once a year. I have seen places in Ireland where there no longer are wild salmon because they have been destroyed by fish farms in the bays of western Ireland.
I hope your commission will acknowledge the conection between sea lice from fish farms and the death of many salmon smolts and will recommend that salmon should not be farmed in open net pens in the ocean. Then, maybe the Adams River Salmon Run and the Fraser River Sockeye runs will be saved. Wild salmon are an important resource which must be protected.
Good luck
John Henderson
