I think both are probably correct. I think there are real problems with open fin fish aquaculture for salmon, in terms of its implications, as Karen has pointed out: the food, the antibiotics, the pesticides, the taking up of the area coastal property, and degradation that goes on around it. Also, there would be very few places around most of Nova Scotia—certainly Southwest Nova Scotia—where in fact traditional fisheries such as lobster would not be very seriously impacted by this.
