Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Roth, thank you very much for being here with us today.
I'd like to start my first question with the last sentence in your statement today. You said that the mandate to salmon farmers and all aquaculturists should be to reduce impacts rather than to use specific technologies. We've heard a lot of testimony, given the economics of going to closed containment RAS systems and the significant amount of additional biomass that would have to be in a closed containment system. Are you suggesting that maybe it should be a technology-neutral solution going forward, and we shouldn't necessarily run to closed pen aquaculture?
