The article is not to be trusted. It's peer reviewed and not put out by www.salmonfarmnonsense.com. Ask Fisherbawb - He'll tell you the same thing.

Nice work!!  It's a pretty notable achievement when you beat the feedlot boys to one of their typical well rehearsed comments. You left absolon speechless....

This is highly relevant to British Columbia, as escaped GMO Atlantic Salmon may pose a high risk to the genetic integrity of our wild Atlantic Salmon populations. Oh, wait we don't have wild Atlantics here. Never mind.

Of more relevance here would be to do some research on the success of the triploid program run by the FFSBC (you know, the big trout we all like to catch). It isn't 100% either, which can then pose risks as stocked rainbows can interbreed with wild populations. But that's ok, because it's not a feedlot right?

Didn't mean to get you kids so excited.

I was just going to ask you if you had actually clicked on your salmonfarmnonsense.com link.

I did and wasn't the least bit surprised where it led me.

AquAdvantage salmon

You look that up and you get GM fish farming.

Just so we are on the same page of the chapter in the same book, how about posting the link you are refering too T.B. I would not want to be accused of cherry picking by sheeple again. Lol

So what. Its closed containment. Lol :) just what sheeple want.
"AAS raised in land-based facilities reduce the environmental impact on coastal areas, eliminate the threat of disease transfer from farms to wild fish and grow more fish with less feed. Additionally, facilities located near major consumer markets reduce the environmental impact associated with air and ocean freight."
