BCSFA, February 14, 2011
Seven of nine salmon farms in Okisollo and Hoskyn channels are lying fallow right now, with re-stocking of fish not expected to begin again until later this year.
This is the second update from the BC Salmon Farmers Association and its members regarding the channels, in response to questions from the public about current status of operations in the area. Okisollo Channel is located just north of Campbell River and is home to five farms: two of Marine Harvest Canada's, two of Mainstream Canada's and one operated by Grieg Seafood. Hoskyn Channel, on the east side of Quadra Island has four Marine Harvest Canada leases.
