And you are trying to telling me how to save wild salmon LOL. 

Just checking to see who reads my posts thoroughly, you win first prize.

Really  Why would anyone care about dirty type fishfarmers patting other dirty type fishfarmers on the bum bawb. Except you constantly on their twitterverse.

I thought this kind of ruling is what you and other anti salmon farmers wanted   How can you be upset with this?? What don't you like?

"◦It helps farmers access new markets, and helps protect existing markets by maintaining ‘buyers preference'."

Who's upset  ?? their just putting a new spin on dirty project. I do hope that somewhere down the road it actually has some other goal. Other than providing the dirty fishfarmers some propaganda that maybe one of their farms here may be trying to do something positive. Or you have a choice of their premium ASC certified fish or cheap out on the dirty stuff. But I know you like the farmed salmon? Or somehow feel threatened by criticism of lousy fish farming practices. Who knows who cares. Now you have a choice I guess. Will you part with the cash that's another matter.

On a positive though at one time fishfarmer bawb did give some money to Morton so maybe he's backed up his cash wagon to these ASC guy's. The sun also rises, as it was said.

Looks to me like it will also help the Atlantic salmon farmers in Washington. You know,,,the guys we do not hear much about but share the same back yard.

These types of certifications are fairly vague - it usually acknowledges that the firm is following procedures that they themselves develop and conforms to universal standards such as record keeping.

The link here doesn't really give much information on what the standard hopes to achieve.

The ASC website gives a little more info on this:
http://www.asc-aqua.org/index.cfm?act=update.detail&uid=266&lng=1

The salmon standard aims to address the key negative environmental and social impacts of salmon farming. It requires unprecedented levels of transparency on farm performance data, sourcing of feed ingredients, disease transmission between farms and the wild salmon population, controlling escapes into the wild, use of therapeutics and antibiotics, site impacts and labour issues on farms.

The actual checklist used in the audit is located here:

Salmon farming started off the coast of BC in 2009?  Good job, Eddie.

[Dave]

Well that was factual   Someone should explain to Eddie that the Atlantic salmon sold by Costco are imported from Chile ....
