I was looking at the website for Marine Harvest Canada and saw some interesting info on the opening page.

At the Marine Harvest Canada website: http://www.marineharvestcanada.com/ it says the following:

Largest Aquaculture Company in British Columbia
Worldwide, Marine Harvest employs 7,500 people and produces one third of the world's farmed salmon and trout at facilities in Norway, Chile, Scotland, Canada, Ireland and the Shetland Islands.

Marine Harvest Canada operates aquaculture farms on the coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, where 500 people produce 45,000 tonnes of high quality fresh Atlantic salmon a year.

Our salmon are raised in freshwater hatcheries and rearing sites before being transferred to the clear Pacific waters of our marine fish farm sites. From there, Atlantic salmon are harvested and processed for shipment to customers in Canada, the United States and Asia.

So the biggest fish farm in the area only employs 500 people?
What's the grand total of jobs from this industry? 800? 900?

Those fish farms probably pay out more money in political contributions to the Liberal party of BC than they do in wages.

Well their giving it to the wrong party as the Liberals no longer have control of the BC Tidal waters........
