Hi Dave,
There is ample evidence of a steep decline in wild salmon stocks, both here
and in Europe, with the evolution of salmon aquaculture.
Salmon stocks were healthy in the inner Bay of Fundy in rivers like the St
John and Little Salmon rivers in New Brunswick and the Stewiacke in Nova
Scotia prior to open pen salmon farming.

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
