PSF strongly believes that contemplating open-net pen aquaculture licenses of up to six years is in direct conflict with the open-net pen transition plan promised for 2025. We should be moving away from licensing open-net pen aquaculture and not delaying the transition process. We have shared these concerns in a recent letter to Hon. Diane Lebouthillier, […]
Through the Broughton Aquaculture Transition Initiative (BATI) program, PSF is proud to work with several area First Nations as a partner, conducting regular monitoring in and around the active and de-commissioned open-pen net salmon farms. In this video, you’ll hear about the BATI priorities and the work PSF is conducting in the Broughton Archipelago to […]
PSF made a formal submission in January to DFO’s consultation regarding the creation of a new federal Aquaculture Act. Thank you to PSF Science Advisor Dr. Brian Riddell for his work in drafting our submission along with the PSF Board’s Science Committee for input along the way. We felt compelled to make this submission given […]
The authors report on their extensive stakeholder discussions and public policy research on best practices across North America and Britain to produce this paper on resolving salmon aquaculture controversies and establishing consensus on the future of fish farming. It cites the importance of First Nations involvement and constructive public participation. It suggests a broader framework […]
This report sets out the principles and criteria for the new Forum, and proposes the key elements that will be necessary to make it acceptable to all participants and effective in fostering public dialogue and understanding of the issues. It offered some alternatives in terms of the scope and scale of the Forum’s activity.
Analysis of issues related to netcage salmon farming and wild salmon in British Columbia. The report takes a look behind the debate, examines the information and assumptions supporting the arguments of opposing interests.
This report takes a look behind the debate, examines the information and assumptions supporting the arguments of opposing interests, and deepens the current public understanding about potential impacts of salmon aquaculture on wild salmon.

Our recently published paper: Aquaculture mediates global transmission of a viral pathogen to wild salmon[1] provides new information regarding pathogen spillover from salmon farms to wild Pacific salmon. We’ve outlined a summary of our findings in a news release, below. In short, our findings strongly suggest that open-net aquaculture has introduced a non-native infectious agent, Piscine orthoreovirus […]
