No, not at all, sir. I'm suggesting that if you take the full academic work of Peter Tyedmers, which would suggest that you do a full LCA.... There's a list of all the attributes, from human toxicity potential to eutrophication, and if you account for all those effects and get into the work on what a net pen produces and what a closed containment farm produces and then, for a fair comparison, look at 25 years of operation--and that's theoretically, because you don't have to wait that time--it is very hard to imagine that closed containment is worse. Because closed containment offers you the opportunity to capture everything and process everything--waste included--appropriately.
In an open-net pen, everything gets flushed away. Well, I ask you, where is away? It's still our ecosystem. It's still the fisheries, the wild fisheries, the prawn beds, and the clam beds. There is no such place as away.
You can do the analysis. What I'm trying to do is to get people to think about physicist Richard Feynman's question: how do you get to the answer quickly to make the decision that you're making the right work...? If you think about it in those terms, you know what the answer from the LCA should be going in. Let's go and do that work. Let's do it accurately, but let's not get in the way of progress, because common sense tells us what the answer should be.
