Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Fisheries committee Yes it would be. I think it's an excellent idea to examine.

Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee I agree with that.

Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee That's what they do in many countries besides Canada. That's almost always the case in places like Europe, north Africa and in the east. Most of the people who look after aquaculture are in agriculture.

Fisheries committee I'm not getting the English translation, unfortunately.

Fisheries committee Apart from the fishing, most of the mortality on the salmon when they're moving out into the ocean comes from a predation by other fish, like striped bass in the Miramichi, and birds like gannets, which take salmon smolt off of Newfoundland. Things like pinnipeds also eat them an

Fisheries committee The impact of the striped bass is not untenable or anything. If you have a big year for bass, then they will eat lots of baby salmon, mostly.

Fisheries committee It is practically gone. In the Saint John River now, the salmon stock has been completely collapsed for 30 years. It used to be that 80 to 100 metric tons a year of that fish were caught in the estuary—

Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee This is for unregulated commercial fishing, yes.

Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee Before I say anything concerning that question, I just want to apologize to everybody. It turns out that Jay Parsons was my master's and Ph.D. student when he was in university, so I'm afraid he's been corrupted. Getting back to the worldwide development of land-based aquacultur
May 12th, 2022Committee meeting
Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee No. There are lots of different species of fishes that are raised in sea cages, and we don't seem to have a salmon lice problem with them. It's probably because, being the species they are, they don't carry too many salmon lice on them. They haven't affected other things—like in

Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee I agree.
May 12th, 2022Committee meeting
Dr. Michael Dadswell
Fisheries committee I'd say it basically depends on the landings, as far as I can see. There are area scientific studies going on. I know when I was in DFO we had a fairly big project going in southwest Nova Scotia. I don't know whether that one is still going through, but it might be. We had anothe
