Testimony from the MA EEZ hearing

[Fly Rod]

Don't count on farm fishing to take the place of ocean fishing to supply the world.
Farm raised salmon may be a thing of the past in a few more years.
Fish farming in many areas has become one of the greatest threats to wild fish. Farmed fish do escape, survive,reproduce and threaten the exsistence of wild spieces
They are breeding grounds for deadly parisites and diseases that would not occur easily if fish weren't confined.
Where sea farms are kept the ocean bottom has become polluted and create oxygen depleted dead zones
Just tonite on health watch raised questions of farm raised salmon to be bad for your health. Because of the antibiotics and the type of feed fed to them has raised your chances of getting cancer ten times higher then eating wild fish.
They say that you should only eat farmed raised salmon once a month, if at all.
Maybe we will end up with "MAD SALMON DISEASE"
