Mr. Hobson, we've heard a lot at this committee...over the last year or two about sea lice and their effects on salmon. We've seen pictures of what sea lice have done to the smolts and the wild fishery.
I'd like you to tell us whether you feel the open net concept is in the wrong place. Are there too many of them? Could they be shifted to another area?
This is a big industry, and obviously there are some problems, because there's a lot of money being invested in the closed containment. Can there be more and better regulations in order to make sure that we can have the open net concept and the closed containment, or are we heading away from the open net concept altogether because of the effect it has on nature itself?
