You gotta like how they avoid the question of contaminants.....

Coles notes answer: "We know the contaminants are bad for you but please be advised that the Omega-3 is good for you...." 

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/303/5655/226.short
".........  Having analyzed over 2 metric tons of farmed and wild salmon from around the world for organochlorine contaminants, we show that concentrations of these contaminants are significantly higher in farmed salmon than in wild. European-raised salmon have significantly greater contaminant loads than those raised in North and South America, indicating the need for further investigation into the sources of contamination. Risk analysis indicates that consumption of farmed Atlantic salmon may pose health risks that detract from the beneficial effects of fish consumption."

Smart folks will avoid the contaminated feedlot stuff and find an alternate source for their Omega 3.

Funny how some people are so consumed with contaminants when in reality they are extremely low and are not the real problem.

Kinda like how some people are so concerned with the health factor of smoking that they are missing the opportunity to be "cool"......

If were like smoking.....but what the heck...it's better to just recreate hysteria and fear in the consumer.  Better not to tell them what foods are a greater risk to their health so that the cause of the Wild Salmon Saviours can be preserved.

I got a pin bone from a wild Bonaparte plateau rainbow stuck in my tonsil once. ER visit to get that thing out.

You end up on neo-con Harpers hate list and your days are numbered. We need our own version of wiki-leaks to find out the reality. But people voted the sucker (you) in so I guess their the ones who are really responsible.

Fish-lab decision was a good one

Re: “Loss of wild-salmon disease doctor will have major impact,” July 16.

In the column, the actions of the World Animal Health Organization in pulling the infectious-salmon-anemia reference status at Dr. Fred Kibenge’s lab are presented as a negative. In fact, the organization’s decision should be viewed as a positive one. The organization conducted an audit with an international panel of scientific experts and found a series of weaknesses affecting the quality of diagnoses performed at the lab — which led to the unanimous decision by the general assembly of the organization to delist the lab.

This news should reassure the public, as it shows that labs carrying international designations are held to high standards.

It is correct that several thousand wild salmon were tested and no ISA was found. Thousands of Atlantic salmon have also been tested for ISA and those tests were also negative.

ISA is a concern for B.C. salmon farmers — it has the potential to have an impact on our industry. That’s why our fish are tested and why we support ongoing wild- and farmed-fish monitoring programs.

All the world’s oceans are connected, so it makes sense that viruses that have been found in other areas might eventually be found in B.C. That’s why ongoing monitoring of both wild and farm-raised fish is important so if a virus that causes disease, as not all do, does appear, it is found quickly and can be dealt with.

Alex's response to above.

Ah Mary Ellen, you are sounding increasingly shrill, and a titch nasty. But what is really revealing is that your desperate attempt to set the stage for ISA virus being confirmed in BC without your industry being implicated.

"All the worl...d’s oceans are connected, so it makes sense that viruses that have been found in other areas might eventually be found in B.C. "

Hmm really? This time you really are going to need some data .... so head for the north coast of Canada and start fishing and see if you can find ISA virus in anything there.... And when you find it, publish a paper and we can go from there.

Or option two, come clean and drag your industry into responsible behaviour and get out of the ocean. We all know at this point that there is no way to run salmon feedlots in net pens without massive pathogen production.

Hey Chris,  would ya post the link to that article?
