I would like to go back to another problem that Mr. Cusson noted, namely the lack of financial support for research. For example, tracking an adult salmon by satellite may cost Atlantic salmon research organizations $25,000.
It has been calculated that current funding represents only about 60% of what it was 10 or 15 years ago. What are your observations on that? Should a decision to reinvest in research be made as soon as possible? If so, which direction should we take in order to get the best possible results?
