Here are some facts to consider about salmon farmi Here are some facts to consider about salmon farming in BC come polling day;

Should BC succumb to the demands of anti-fish farm activists to move all ocean-based salmon farms to land based operations, the province will see a  whopping  increase of 22,881,000 kilograms of Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions . Translated, that number amounts to the energy per year needed to power a population of 52,200, or a city the size of North Vancouver. The High Level Panel for a Sustainable Oceans Economy, to which Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a signatory, has said “the largest potential carbon reduction gains for food production lie in the sustainable expansion of marine aquaculture.”
 
Collectively since the start of the year, the world’s major land-based farmers, have seen their market caps collapse by nearly $1 billion, leading many analysts to say that these mega farms are mostly about raising money, not raising fish. In B.C. alone, there are many failed attempts to grow either Pacific or Atlantic salmon in land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) over the past 20 years.

Growing 75,000 MT of salmon (British Columbia’s average production) grown at 18kg/m3 in a 99% RAS operation would require 4.16 billion litres of freshwater just to fill the tanks. The current production in Canada alone would require 28,000 Canadian football fields, 33,719 acres, or 159 square kilometers of land to grow fish in appropriate densities in land-based systems.
Marine farms have a density of 15 – 25kg of fish per cubic metre at their peak size. Land based farms have a density of 50 – 80kg of fish per cubic metre at their peak size. That makes for really crowded land-based tanks.
