Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll lead off with a question to Dr. Tyedmers.
As a natural resource or ecological economist, you said that one of your specialties or focuses is the flow of energy within food systems. Would you agree that in salmon production, based on the analysis of feed conversion ratios, you actually gain a significant advantage over other food production systems, such as the beef or poultry industries? Would you dispute--my numbers could be a little bit off here--that you need about five or six or maybe even eight kilograms of feed to produce one kilogram of beef? In the salmon industry, it's almost a 1:1 ratio. In fact, it takes about 1.25 to 1.5 kilograms of feed to produce one kilogram of salmon. Is that true?
