I should of added that health Canada seems to be OK with high amounts of cadmium in oysters so imagine the testing done on other seafood.

anx, please add to my argument all the antibiotic laden feces from beef, pork and poultry farms that is spread on virtually all the agricultural land in the Fraser Valley, and probably everywhere else farming is viable.

Yes ,but these are all domestic animals that have been farmed for centuries.There is no wild species at risk of contamination.
On top of that the discharge of antibiotics on land  does not discharge directly into the water ,which by its nature will spread much more quickly than if were to seep into ground water on land.

Got the cadmium blues?

"Funding cuts that occurred through the mid‐80’s to date severely limited the ability
of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to access operating funds, especially for
research that might generate results not necessarily friendly to current government
policies."

Most ocean pollution begins on land.

"Yes, you read that right: Alaska ranks second, behind British Columbia."

How's the oyster farm, or the fish farm Bawby. Why not just post that crap to like minded websites. People sport fishing are probably are not interested in your bias.

[Dave]

I'm interested in Bob's posts but then again I don't fish much anymore 

[troutbreath]

and you live by some farms, so that's OK.

We choose to remain anonymous because we do not wish to open our personal lives up to attack, and a small group of anti-salmon farming activists have shown they are willing to use nasty and personal attacks to try and shame and intimidate people who support salmon farming.
 
As well, we choose to remain anonymous because we want this blog to be about science, not a debate over anyone’s credentials.
 
We receive no funding from the salmon farming industry


SS???lol

[shuswapsteve]

Yeah, right...lol.  I actually wouldn't mind some extra funding right now to pay off all the Disney's "Frozen" stuff I bought my kids this year.

Hey, if some folks want to part with their money by giving to this negative advertising campaign (so we are told) that's fine, but they shouldn't be duped by thinking they are helping wild salmon. There are other more productive ways to fund wild salmon protection and enhancement where the results are transparent as well as how the money is spent. Morton is basically going the Don Staniford route of negative attack advertising, but unlike Don, she trying to be more careful as to avoid possible legal implications.

Hey, here is an example of a worthwhile thing to fund:
