I think that there are misinformation in yhis video. Everyone have their own interest in this issue and nobody have a neutral position.

This clip helps to confirm the serious issues we face here in British Columbia regarding open pen salmon farming. Though this clip does not address the issue of sea lice, I would figure that the ocean around Chile's immense number of salmon farms must be teaming with sea lice.

If salmon farms cannot produce their product without harming the natural environment, then they must be stopped! Open pens are obviously not the correct method to produce farmed fish.

Well done film, the similarities here in BC are striking, same story in regards to the environmental impacts. Diving under the pens looks virtually the same here. I've been posting films about similar issues with salmon farming in BC. It's true that we need to get the word out about this to a larger audience, and films like this are a good start. I'm sure once more people understand the cost of fish farming, things will change.
