An obscure Vancouver-based company claims it can solve these conundrums, making salmon consumption more sustainable by producing a palatable farmed product. It aims to produce fish that’s environmentally pure enough to appeal even to picky eaters such as Ms. Woods.
But there’s a catch. Instead of using open-net pens, AgriMarine Holdings Inc. is growing Pacific salmon inside giant fibreglass and metal tanks. And AgriMarine is doing most of its work in China, using Canadian-sourced fish eggs. That has some B.C. fishermen fuming; they accuse AgriMarine of selling off Canada’s “genetic code.”
