摘要

When the North Atlantic's stocks of cod, tuna, halibut, and other big ocean predators threatened to collapse in the 1990s after decades of overfishing, consumers and conservationists alike turned their hopes to farming: raising pellet-fattened fish in net pens in bays and channels. But a sweeping analysis published last February shows that farming has only made matters worse for wild salmon. Salmon farms were already known to weaken wild populations by exposing them to lice infestations, interbreeding with escaped farmed fish, and contaminants such as antibiotics, pesticides, and disinfectants. To look at farming's impact on overall survival rates, marine biologists Jennifer Ford and the late Ransom Myers of Dal-housie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, examined three decades' worth of data from Ireland, Scotland, and Canada. The studies measured fish abundance and survival with rod catches, helicopter flyovers, and trapping by fences and fish wheels.
