Bottom line is that the current human population is reaching the limits of sustainability. We are ingenious in finding ways to alter our enironments to our benefit, but it will change the natural order and have some drawbacks. The ultimate solution starts with managing ourselves, but that is a hard task.

as a native american the salmon escaping and breeding with the wild salmon is actually scary. I dont like the hatcheries they feed them purina mix giving them a worst start on life with a pesticide gmo diet and the farms are using wastewater compost with heavy amounts of pfas so thats in the food there feeding to them and putting in the ocean. salmon need to be born in the stream they are going to return to even efforts by the yurok tribe to build streams are failing restoring their natural habitat and soil seems to be a nearly impossible task and it really hasnt been done successfully on the long term more than a year or two. these salmon used to be over 100 pounds (45kg) each when I was little now they look like sardines.
@apine56363 күн бұрын
I now eat sardines instead of salmon as sardines are nutritionally as good or better than salmon, come in portion controlled cans, the meat doesn't spoil, can be stored indefinitely and is therefore super convenient, they are much less expensive than salmon, and consuming sardines is less damaging to the environment.

Because there are too many people in the world it’s it’s called world over population…! I might have just made that up. They keep telling us in the United States that we need more people we don’t have enough people. Well, we don’t have enough people to keep the things we don’t need functioning. But if we look like we should live we have more people than we need and getting more every day because of Joe Biden’s open border….! so you want things to be good like they used to be good food freedom to do what you wanna do less crime want to go back to how it was, then reduce the population….!

I'm a very senior citizen who grew up in New England. Fish was plentiful and cheap, especially swordfish, which is almost gone, commercially. At that time, Catholics couldn't eat meat on Friday, so the fish markets were busy. My family wasn't Catholic, but my mom would shop at the Fulton Fish Market, and we often add fish on Friday, usually sole or swordfish and I can't remember what else. The New England waters are pretty fished out by now. You can't get swordfish at all, and the haddock usuallly comes from another ocean area.

Thank you for a very informative vid. I was unaware of how "wild" salmon are farmed and processed. I haven't eaten salmon in a while. I've enjoyed it in the past but honestly, I really don't miss it. By the way, I consume two TB (30 ML?) of ground flax seeds every day. They're an excellent source of Omega 3's, plus being really cheap. It's very depressing to see what we've done to our wildlife species - but at least avoiding salmon in my diet is a small step in the right direction.

If salmon return to the place they were born, why do salmon farms need pens at all? By controlling where they're born en masse, doesn't the salmon farmer control where the salmon will return en masse? Can't they just harvest them when they return?

More should be done to recreate wild salmon habitat and remove barriers to the natural flows. Many of the dams seem to be in areas with very little electric production at all. And fresh water storage should be done in areas upstream of the fisheries not down or in the middle.

I got invited to become a salmon seiner worker (beach/skiff/cook) in 1976. Went fishing till 1985. and it is definitely a very dangerous job. Never liked what was happening to the marine ecosystem or the salmon. It was nice to get away from Vancouver to be in the natural coastal paradise that was enjoyable. Got seriously injured twice, with not a penny of compensation. The native peoples of yesterday had it correct. Live with modest impact on this species, harvesting a small amount upstream. I don’t buy salmon, but the B.C. land based pens could offer a solution, sort of.
