Other Media | The Fishing Daily: Federation Delegation Makes the Case to Minister on Fuel Costs
UNITED KINGDOM
Friday, May 20, 2022

The Canadian federal government has given the go-ahead for open-net pen salmon aquaculture to continue for the next two years at 79 farms off the coast of British Columbia.
The decision, which comes just a few days before the existing licences expire on 30 June, only represents a stay of execution for the industry on Canada’s west coast.
