On the other hand look for cheap virus infected feedlot salmon on your local grocery store shelves soon.
And soon, on a few select local FN reserves and road side stands. Interestingly, I'm told a past Chief of perhaps the least salmon conservation minded band of the Sto-Lo groups, Cheam, was to be standing alongside AlMo at the Gala. What's up with that? Salmon farming bad - FN overharvest OK?
The virus they will be serving is IHNv, very common in Fraser River sockeye and like ISAv, harmless to people or other warm blooded animals. Endangered Early Stuarts and small population summer runs will soon be available to those that want them, as they always are and will be till they're gone because there is a lucrative market; FN fishers will fish them, conservation and upstream FN band concerns be damned.
I will eat a farmed Atlantic over one of these sockeye any day.
