Dear All,                        June 9, 2012
    There has been numerous articles and letters recently about open-pen 
Salmon farms. One in particular caught my eye (June 9, CH, Jim Gourlay) 
"...proven devastation of wild Atlantic Salmon stocks wherever open-pen 
salmon aquaculture has been sited..."

    As I recall, salmon stocks were in very bad shape before culture of 
salmon was initiated; culture of salmon being a way to offset the shortage 
of wild salmon and take some pressure off of these wild stocks that were 
probably being overfished off Greenland.

    Are there really examples of abundant salmon stocks in areas where there 
has been no open-pen salmon farming ?

    Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
