Stain Upon the Sea: West Coast Salmon Farming: Few industries have aroused such heated controversy as salmon farming has in recent years. Every week seems to bring a new report that raises concern about the health risks of eating farmed salmon or the environmental soundness of open-net fish farming, but the industry aggressively defends itself and governments continue to support expansion. What is the real cause against salmon farming, and how concerned should we be? A Stain Upon the Sea brings together six leading experts to answer that question. Former salmon farmer Rosella M. Leslie teams with authors Betty C. Keller and Stephen Hume to provide a history and overview of salmon farming on the West Coast, former civil servant Otto Langer exposes the inner workings of the fisheries branch, scientist Don Staniford analyzes the “chemical stew” in which fish are raised and biologist Alexandra Morton describes the appalling environmental impacts salmon farming has had in the Broughton Archipelago.
