B.C. salmon farmers have reported an average 93.6 % rolling survivability rate of stock in 2014.
This was one of the many items shown in the B.C. Salmon Farmer’s Association’s first ever sustainability progress report at the major aquaculture conference this past week.
Board chair Stewart Hawthorn says the purpose of the report is to help bring together everything they’ve been doing in the farming community to the people of BC.
Other areas of the report include the use of antibiotics and vaccines, marine predator management, and escape prevention.
