NETPEN Salmon Farming coming to North Coast? |
|
||||
|
|
Great Intro to North Coast marine systemsWritten back in 1992 during the last salmon farming boom, this is an invaluable introduction to available literature--- everything here from geology to plankton. Most important is the ‘rating’ of potential net pen sites. While you might not be aware of this info you can bet Nutreco is I did a newspaper article some years ago on this book, it does not work as well on WWW but still has good summary from North Coast perspective |

Haven’t got a copy??
This is a must have – Well written and paints our immediate future
|
Here is where to order copy |
Title: Salmon Biophysical Suitability Study of the North Coast & Queen Charlotte Islands 1992 (presumably same as copy above, which has slightly different title) |
|
Review Article |
I wrote a journalism piece on the Biophysical some years ago; but it is still relevant, perhaps more so as last salmon boom ended in a long, silent bust |
