Well, I do believe it will. Our early application of FIT-CHIPS in sockeye salmon is showing a very high level of thermal stress occurring in the northern Strait of Georgia, right before salmon have to migrate through the Discovery Islands and Johnstone Strait passage. Those salmon are starting out compromised before they move into an area that is quite challenging, not only because of the currents but also because of the farms. The siting of farms in that area may be detrimental, more because they're hitting those farms right after they have left a very stressful area due to climate change. We need to be really careful about how we think about the kinds of industrial activities that we do and where we do them—and try to remove them from salmon's critical early rearing environments.
