I'll have the Chilean farm raised salmon with a side of pesticides

Reason number 1,476 not to eat farm raised salmon.

The Pew Environment Group recently acquired documents from the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revealing that three Chilean salmon
farming companies, including the two largest producers of farmed
salmon, used a number of drugs not approved by the U.S. government. 
These chemicals include the antibiotics flumequine and oxolinic acid
and the pesticide emamectin benzoate. The documents further show that
the farmed salmon containing  residues of unapproved chemicals were
destined for the U.S. market.

Chile is the primary source of farmed salmon consumed in the United States. LINK

B.C. loses salmon farm jurisdiction

Alexandra Morton kicks ass.

The B.C. Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government — not the
province — has exclusive jurisdiction over the management of salmon
farming, a landmark decision hailed as a victory for the future of wild
stocks.

“The regulation of fish farming by the province is ultra
vires, beyond its power,” said a triumphant Greg McDade, the lawyer who
pursued the case on behalf of independent sea-lice researcher Alexandra
Morton and others.

Scientists turn beer waste into fish food

An unlikely alliance between two former Colorado School of Mines students and the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins could someday end up saving fisheries all over the world.

"A large facility, a large brewery for example, might put 40 to
50,000 pounds of waste beer down their drain every day. So we can
convert that to 30 to 35,000 pounds of bacterial protein everyday.
Regular fish feed has 25 to 50 percent protein. Our ingredient has 65
percent protein."  LINK (Via: 9News)
