Salmon disease was present but Northern Harvest denies it was a factor in die-off

October 16, 2019 Canada

The aquaculture company at the centre of a massive fish die-off on Newfoundland’s south coast is on the defensive again after a revelation Tuesday that disease was detected in its sea cages this summer.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
