Fish Farming In Alaska - Time to Embrace It
« on: May 11, 2012, 04:13:33 PM »

A couple months ago, Laine Welch writing in the local fishwrapper spent a while cheerleading the statewide hatchery program supporting commercial fishing.  She pointed to the fact that hatcheries provided nearly 49% of total fish caught by the commercial fleet, and $168 million of the $494 dockside value of the catch.  She then took the time to take a couple pot shots at fish farming, contrasting it with the hatchery program.

Does that fall under the rule "2 wrongs make everything alright?"   ???

You can almost feel the spittle from their mouths as they write their garbage. Redcountry eh, if that is where you find your facts good luck.
