Summary: (The attached document was provided to the commission at the Campbell River public forum as part of the submission by Kevin Onclin.)
Even in remote areas, salmon genetics and ecosystems are being altered. All of the techniques employed by countries with salmon resources must be studied and, where beneficial, emulated. Fish farming is not necessarily a cause of the decline of Fraser sockeye. A better use of the money for the commission would have been to finance and improve the ongoing monitoring and management of the Fraser River and other Canadian sockeye populations.
