"Dr. Marty, who has worked for the fish farming industry in the United States, said the finding means environmentalists' demands that fish farms be moved away from the migratory routes of wild salmon are not justified."

"How did they get through peer review if they couldn't verify the chain of custody on the farmed fish they bought at the stores?"

Yeah, I can't believe that one either. No mention where those farmed fish came from and how they were handled from capture to analysis.

"Why didn't they do something that could be repeated or confirmed using another method?"

Didn't need to do it. That would involve needless work on their part.  This isn't about science and due diligence.  If it was then we would know the chain of custody and origin of those farmed fish in the study.  That's for people who actually care about their credentials and professional standing and reputation.  Morton already accomplished her goal after the media took the study and ran with it (i.e. it went viral...lol).

From Alex this morning, will this happen?

Dear Salmon Farmers:

Making defamatory statements about me is not helpful. I invite you, once again, to debate me in public. I think ISA virus is in BC, you don't. Let me go to your farms escorted by local First Nations to select the best samples for testing, and distribute the samples among the government labs that have also detected ISAV and Gary Marty - and then lets hold a public round table and decide what the next steps are.

Isn't Alexandra a member on FWR? Why doesn't she set the record straight here on this forum with all of us non-believers? I find it hilarious that she feels like she has some sort of credibility or credentials on this subject - enough to be at a "public round table" to "decide" what needs to be done.  Before she starts participating in a round table discussion on this maybe she might want to address the deficiencies in the latest study she was involved in as she will undoubtedly be grilled severely over them by researchers that know what they are talking about.

Marty doesn't he work for fish farmers .....hilarious. Yet there's the pro bad practice open pen fish farm groupies and workers giving him credibility. Now that he's exposed they ignore the fact. Epic fail

Wow.

Confirmation bias wrapped in cognitive dissonance, sprinkled with some assorted rhetological fallacies and fried in BS.

Now there's an epic fail.

Time for you guys to get some more paid Fish Farm PR people on this board.

Funny how they identify themselves as "simple folk" here, instead.

"Fisherbob" and "ClayoquotKid" are losing ground fast.

You already said you work at one of those places, so I understand your frustration. It's a challenge to change careers.

When all else fails for the anti-crew, they sling the bottom of the barrel BS. Still no word on when salmon farming in Washington or BC has harmed wild salmon from them. Back to you lol.

I'd love to fast-track my retirement plan of running a guide/accommodation operation out of Ukee where I can fish every day and the Mrs. can help with the guests.

Unfortunately I'm stuck here for now trying to explain how the realities of scientific process and evidence gathering prove to be too much of a challenge for aquaculture critics to overcome.

You've got the feels, and the feels are good enough for you - that's fine, just don't expect to be taken seriously in the real world.

I feel like getting my drum and joining them.

You should be able to guide them over to the net pen for some pay and play. Guess that's not allowed?

Help me out here Chris. What "Virus" was detected? Back to you.

Yup, looks like the usual suspects attending, lol!  Chris, who paid their expenses?

[aquapaloosa]

Wow Chris.  Looks like double the turn out of regular grocery store protests.  How many this time.  20?

Good question Dave.
