--Apple-Mail-369--919820242 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi folks, The issue is as tangled as cage netting washed ashore after winter = storms. Forty years ago salmon aquaculture was seen as a burgeoning = industry, a salvation for fisherman, and a pathway towards a sustainable = fishery that would protect wild stocks. Salmon, once a rare treat for = anglers and a staple for many coastal native groups, was commodified = into a mainstream supermarket fish. Over time, however, flies began to = appear in the ointment. Thos concerned with this topic may be interested in my recent article on = the topic: Down our throats: Fed-up with salmon feedlots = http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/christophermajka/2012/12/down-our-throats-= fed-salmon-feedlots Resolving the dilemmas posed by open-net salmon farming parallel the = necessity of resolving corporate exploitation of the environment, human = and natural. We need to find models of economic activity that are not = in phase mismatch with either the biological world or the human one. The = failure to do so will have critical consequences for both.
