According to the report, open-net fish farms may contribute to the decline of wild salmon populations through the spread of parasitic sea lice and diseases from the farmed fish to migrating salmon fry. Industry representatives rejected the report's findings, claiming that transitioning to closed-containment would hinder the growth of British Columbia's sustainable aquaculture economy.
