Another mass escape from a British Columbia fish farm unleashes 40,000 Atlantic Salmon into the Pacific Northwest.

… funny how Salmon of any species avoid the “invasive” label, despite their home waters some 3000 miles distant.

In traditional fashion, the farmed fish industry has responded with “no worries, it won’t happen again, sorry ..” – while the environmental crowd is forming a lynch mob.

I’ll take the middle road and find some untrammeled piece of beach on the Panama Canal and be the sudden beneficiary of a massive surge of tired, lost fish…

“However we do know that some survive because small numbers have returned to some rivers,” said Backman. “There is potential for some to survive.”

… they’ll be damn tired of anchovies by then – and my Green Highlander’s and Jock Scott’s will look awful damn tasty.
