Salmon farmers in the Discovery Islands – located in British Columbia, Canada – are asking for more time in a planned phase-out of all net-pen farming in the area in order to alleviate some of the economic impacts.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada announced on 17 December, 2020, it plans to completely phase out all net-pen salmon farming in the Discovery Islands over the next 18 months. Salmon farmers and the B.C. communities – which say they were blindsided by the decision – are asking for an extension to give them more time to prepare for the shift and to avoid the euthanization of salmon.

Minister Jordan stands by her decision to cut 1,500 coastal jobs, knocking out almost 25% of BC’s salmon farming industry and culling 10.7 million fish and eggs.
SAYWARD The task employees of a North Island fish hatchery have been dreading has arrived, and staff have now begun the process of culling nearly one million salmon they have been raising. Mowi Canada says the killing is necessary because of a decision that Federal Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan made in December – to remove fish farm operations from B.C. s Discovery Islands region. Mowi estimates 925,000 juvenile salmon, which are now about a year-and-a-half old, will be destroyed by Thursday. The operation is being overseen by head veterinarian Terra MacDonald. These fish are healthy, they have good welfare, they’re not carrying a disease and so to see them have to be euthanized is really difficult, MacDonald said. I’m not generally in the business of killing healthy fish.
