Good. 0920663435. 138 Pages including index, selected bibliography, and occasional black and white photographs. More and more of the salmon we eat are grown in netpens, not caught in the wild. Why does this matter? Because while nobody is paying much attention, salmon farms from the Gulf Islands to Queen Charlotte Strait may be having long-term effects on BCs coastline and salmon-spawning rivers. Supporters point out that fish farms produce food, create jobs and boost the local economy, as well as earning millions of dollars in export sales. Critics say they contaminate the ocean, spread diseases and harm seals and whales, and that Atlantic salmon escaping from the pens threaten the survival of the remaining wild Pacific salmon stocks.
