Myth Vs. Fact
|
|
|
| All developments have an impact on the environment. In the case of salmon farming the positive impacts far outweigh any negative impacts. A salmon farm located in a deep bay or strait is like a floating reef. Hundreds of marine species attach themselves to the nets, floats and anchor lines. Many more find shelter in the lee of the tidal currents where they can feed on plankton that thrive around the farm. |

|
| Fresh farmed salmon is one of the most healthy and safest of foods. It contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids that are good for your heart and your mind. Farmed salmon is an excellent source of protein and contains carotenes that are powerful anti-oxidants that help prevent cancer. The carotenes also happen to give salmon its distinctive colour. |

|
| In British Columbia, Norway, Chile, Scotland and Ireland salmon farms provide tens of thousands of jobs for residents of remote coastal communities. Aquaculture is the most promising form of economically and environmentally sustainable development in many parts of the world. Aquaculture adds new seafood for a growing population and helps reduce fishing pressure on wild fish stocks. |
