  • Closed containment salmon farm with morning mist, ripples and reflections, Mussel Inlet, mid-coast BC<br /> <br /> Salmon farming is very controversial in British Columbia and a lot of BC residents, myself included, refuse to eat farmed salmon as there is evidence that salmon farming, particularly open pen farms, is threatening the survival of the wild stocks. Closed containment farms, such as the one seen here can eliminate some of the hazards to the wild stocks, but are still a threat.<br /> <br /> Other photos of the salmon farms can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/MitWGu">http://goo.gl/MitWGu</a><br /> <br /> 5/10/13 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
