Ban all fishing nets. Hooks & line only

Was that for the local market?

there is very few uneducated canadians eating that shyte .. back east maybe but like i said very few educated people ..
personally i have nothing against salmon farms .. just get them out of the oceans or at least out of the migration routes .. simple stuff .. be assured i am glad that there are those .. ozone included that make a good living in the industry .. just needs a little cleaning up ..

wished i had one of those little popcorn munchin smilies cuz thats what i would put after my post lol

Some was.

Do you only buy local products? your rifle, it was made in BC right from steel mined on the island? The gas you burn in your truck, its local right?

The gas in my truck could be local But, Its sold off to the rest of the world.My rifle could also be made here out of recycled steel, yes But we are getting off topic.

More canadians eat farmed salmon than wild salmon, mostly because it is a hell of a lot better than chemical laden wild salmon that have been fished to the brink of extinction.

Oh bugger, another fish management thread on a hunting forum...

If you think commercial fishing is the only thing doing our salmon/other fish in, you are very narrow minded. Though commercial fishing has done in something like 85% of the worlds stocks, it definately isnt the only thing. Sockeye fishing was closed in BC last year, and yet the returns were way below forecast.

Also, sport fishing has had a significant impact on fish stocks...only recently did we realize that recreational anglers took a substantial portion of the annual Chinook catch...what happens when we make it legal to sell your catch? People are greedy, part of the reason why management is so hard to implement.

I dont know the solution, but I know it will take a multi-faceted approach, aimed at fishing, habitat, enhancement, etc and would probably be a difficult pill to swallow by alot of people.

I believe we all Have an impact on the fish. Fish farms , Comercial ,sport fishing it all adds up. But if our fish were worth more $$ than they would be worth looking after.Is that not how it works?

They have been fished to the brink of extinction By nets. The see lice from the fish farms have done even more damage to the already low over fished stocks. When I said remove all nets that would include fish farms unless they are on land.

We need to get you out on a tour and show you how clean we are.

There has been no damage to fish stocks by salmon farms. You should stop listening to the anti bullshit. Of course if you believe the antis about salmon farms you probably believe them about how banning the grizzly hunt is a good idea.
