Salmon Study is Good News to Local Fish Farmers

Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 9:43 AM

A new study from the national academy of science provides evidence to suggest that salmon farms are not responsible for the decrease in pink salmon populations.

This comes as great news to local fish farmers and agriculture groups, who say they have been dealing with false accusations surrounding the issue for too long.

The international study was published on December 15 in the proceedings of the National Academy of Science journal.
