What are the solutions to salmon farming problems?
• Separate wild and farmed fish. • Remove open net-cage salmon farms from the BC coast and rapidly transition to land or ocean based closed containment systems. • No new open net-cage farm sites in British Columbia • Until the transition to closed containment is complete, provide safe migration routes for juvenile wild salmon via the removal of farms along key routes. • No increase in production levels at current farm sites. • Fish meal and fish oils used in farm fish feed must be harvested from verified sustainable and well-managed sources. Learn more about the solutions CAAR is working towards. What is CAAR’s position on ocean ranching? Ocean ranching is the artificial propagation and release of juvenile fish to support future fishing opportunities. The term ocean ranching implies priority access to returning hatchery/enhanced fish, possibly including the use of relatively selective capture methods in terminal areas near where the salmon were released.
