Mowi Canada West, which operates Marine Harvest fish farms in B.C., says the Aqua Tromoy is the most technologically advanced vessel ever to serve the Canadian aquaculture industry.
Mowi says the ship is an important tool in its pest management strategy, partly because it can lift farmed salmon from their pens and bathe them in fresh water to remove pests such as sea lice. “Onboard reverse osmosis systems … can generate … fresh water from sea water to fill the holds in 24 hours,” the release says.
Before the water is pumped back into the ocean, it is passed through filters to capture and retain any parasites, the company says.
salmon_net So instead of moving the farms to a land based operation, they are going to 'wash' the farmed salmon of lice & other parasites & apparently discharge the water without the parasites back into BC waters? Im not buying it , I see an impending disaster for BC salmon.
Come on. Just stick to NEWS
doesn't sound like the right plan.
