Summary:
It has been proven that open net-pen fish farms on wild salmon migratory routes play a large part in the decline of salmon returns. If they are here to stay, fish farms should be moved onto land.

Submission:
It has been proven that open-pen fish farms on migratory routes of the wild salmon play a large part in the decline of the salmon return, so please do what you can to reduce the harm they're playing.

The research seems to point in the non-governmental scientific research that open-pen fish farming on the migratory routes of wild salmon plays a major role in the dramatic decrease of salmon returns. We need to move open-pen fish farms to land, if they are here to stay.
