I actually have quite a bit of respect for DFO scientists. I think they're put in a position in which it's very difficult for them to do their jobs, because they have two mandates that do not seem consistent with one another. One is protection of wild fish and the second is support for aquaculture, a position in which they basically find themselves in an almost untenable situation.
