absoftitanium have you ever taken a run up the Fraser River ? I lived on it and is so polluted by industry it isn't funny. Amazing salmon even make it past the industrial areas to spawn at all.

[MrArchiebarker]

What nets would those be karmaline ? There are hardley any openings to fish anymore from what I've read and seen in these videos so how are you catching Atlantics .

[MrArchiebarker]

Tried writing to you are your rediculous channel page freudorf and I am pretty sure the paragragh long note never went through.I will shorten it for you Kiss my Ass and stick your comments in yours.

[freudorf]

the aquaculture industry started because supply of wild fish can't meet demand. Now the same people who are trying to save the wild stocks are being blamed for the problem by easily manipulated people.

Dirtbag schmarly is a testement to how we human beings have become.We don't care about a damn thing.This is the most important tragedy to hit our country Canada that we can fix and could have prevented in the first place.People of the world wander around having to take an assorted array of pills to get through their lives that is filled with depression.Why, because we have become detached from that which is important!

Why watch part 2 when part 1 is so friggin' boring?

[schmarly2007]

Dear Absoftitanium - actually Copper River salmon from Alaska are the highest in dioxins and pcb's (Ewald et al 1998). No pesticides are used in culturing salmon, so I don't know where you dreamed that one up?

[absoftitanium]

Farmed salmon contains many times the mercury, dioxin, many pesticides and other systemic poisons of wild salmon. You are what you eat.

What is needed is a really good answer to the sealice problem. Salmon farming is a good industry for these remote regions, what's never been sorted out is a effective agent to break the sea lice problem to a level which does not have effects on the natural stocks of wild fish.
