Let me counter that. So you say, "Well, who is this chap out in nowhere who knows how to design silicon chips, coming in and telling us how to run a fish farm and build a fish farm?”
First of all, don't take my word for it. All my numbers are comparable and work within the mathematics that the U.S. department of aquaculture has worked on for 20 years.
Secondly, there are multiple companies globally, one called AKVA in Norway, one called AquaMaof in Israel, and our own consultant on our own coast, John Holder, who design and deliver turn-key closed containment farms for a living. All my numbers have been checked by those gentlemen of those companies, and they're comparable to those companies.
But if your bottom line is 10% cheaper by doing it in ocean, why would you be motivated to move on land? You wouldn't do it. If your only drivers and reward are profit and loss--and you don't have a need to increase your bottom-line cost because you're not forced to or required to--then you wouldn't do it, and that is the only reason.
We now have had our first example of successful closed containment salmon farming coming to the fore. Domsea aquafarms, run by Per Heggelund in Washington State, is now delivering 90 tonnes of artesian coho to Overwaitea, who are reimporting it into Canada.
To be fair, Rick Thompson has looked at this work too, and said, "Andy, you're right on the money," because we've looked at that farm in detail.
So please do not have any doubt that it's technically or economically feasible.
