Summary:
Open net fish farms are a direct threat to wild salmon.

Submission:
Due to high risk of disease transfer from farmed fish to wild, loss of juvenile fish by the increased sea lice infestations from fish farms and pollution to our waters by the fish farms, open net fish farms are a direct threat to wild salmon. We must consider enclosed fish pens on land a viable solution. We cannot lose our wild fish stocks!
