Thank you very much.
I'd also like you to comment on the chemical treatments used by these aquaculture sites. What effect do you see them having on the surrounding areas? You have touched on some of this, but we have heard some testimony that under the open-net concept everything is dead underneath the pen. We've heard a lot of different types of testimony. We have also heard that the pens are in the wrong place—where the fish, the salmon, migrate back and forth.
I'm thinking about the lice issue. I'd like you to comment on this. How big a problem is it? You have no doubt heard about the land being dead underneath the nets.
Also, we're talking about the open-net concept and closed containment, but we're talking about an awful lot of different dollars. We're quite a distance away from having land-based closed containment be economically feasible. I'd like you to comment on that too, if you have time.
Thank you.
