Jeff Hutchings: “Are we interested in preventing disease, or the semantics of whether mortality events meet the right definitions?”

New #openaccess paper 🔓
@D5hea @MartinKrkosek @eebtoronto @bat3man modeled the spatial spread of biological material from #BritishColumbia salmon farms. Link to paper: buff.ly/3RTYZYS 🐟🧬
Way to go Jaime!!!
An impressive launch.
🛥️🌊🧬🦠🐟
Nearly five months, lots of new friends, 200+ sites and 600+ samples later, the field season for the first chapter of my PhD is finished!
I am so grateful for the people that have welcomed me into their territories and homes.

New study in @cjfas shows that Young Fraser River sockeye salmon migrating past fish farms in the Discovery Islands were more than 12x more likely to carry a potentially harmful bacteria, Tenacibaculum maritimum. @bat3man @PSF #fishsci

New paper analyzes patterns of molecular detection in sockeye salmon for the bacterium Tenacibaculum maritimum, known to cause disease in fish globally & to cause mouthrot disease in farmed Atlantic salmon in British Columbia. buff.ly/3FqDw4F

NEW | Identification of infectious agents in early marine #Chinook and #Coho salmon associated with cohort survival: buff.ly/3wIvKPu @gidmord @SalmonNews @connorsbm @FishOceansCAN @bat3man @yearofthesalmon @PSF
Hang in there Jaime - you're having a wild & excellent first field season!
Fieldwork takes Murphy's law to the extreme. Be resilient. As much as possible, plan for delays in your schedule. Pack really good snacks. #FieldWork #PhDChat #salmon
likewise @JZThinAir, and @WatershedWatch_

Ten years ago, a DFO scientist discovered a foreign virus in fish farms that was killing endangered Chinook. DFO suppressed this research. For years we fought for release under the Access to Information Act. Finally, we won. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…

New research shows that mountain goats in Kitasoo Xai’xais territory and beyond in British Columbia are of conservation concern.

Today, legal counsel for a multi-billion dollar, international, company called my First Nation client, “unreasonable”.
Why?
The First Nation did exactly what the three-year old agreement with the company said it could do.

Hot of the press @PSF magazine just dropped with this article on harmful impacts of open net pen salmon farms:
“PRV originated in the Atlantic Ocean and has been spread around the world through salmon aquaculture”

"Trans Mountain said its pipeline expansion now being constructed is designed to withstand a 10% increase in flood activity to account for climate change."
A 10% increase in flood activity? Really?
You've got entirely exposed TM pipe on the #coquihalla right now. #ClimateCrisis

Big thanks to @FieldCoast, @StudentsOnIce, and @FishOceansCAN for putting on an awesome workshop this weekend on #microtrolling and #eDNA. Excited to see where these tools can take us in conservation science!

Application to re-zone area south of Knight Inlet to accommodate a #SalmonFarm. This area sandwiched in between the Broughton Archipelago and Discovery Islands, where fish farms are being removed because of impacts on wild salmon.
Public hearing tonight:

"PRV infection in B.C. juvenile free-ranging Chinook salmon declined with distance from active salmon farms."
In terms of smoking guns... this finding from @PSF's recent work on #salmonfarming pathogens appears pretty smoky to my eyes.

A very true statement from Minister @BernJordanMP
#WildSalmon in BC are on a downward spiral to extinction & we need to do everything possible to protect & rehabilitate all salmon runs in BC
#LongTerm Strategic focus required
