SALMON RAISED aon fish farms contain chemicals humans
shouldn't be eating, says a local society. Member Sharon
Young was one of those out last week asking for a boycott.

Group promotes
salmon boycott

TERRACE — A local group
is calling for a boycott of sal-
mon raised on fish farms.

The British Columbia Coast
‘Marine Life Protection Socicty
says antibiotic and pesticide
‘residues in fish farm salmon
pose a health risk.

Members of the society were
out on the street here last week
promoting the boycott.

” “The public are consuming
conlaminaled salmon,” said
, society, president Alois Schil-
linger.

"He “said niet” endugh ‘federal ~~

and provincial testing is done
to ensure that salmon leaving
farms have been cleared prop-
erly for sale.

The boycott call is the latest
effort by the society and by
Schillinger. to publicize prob-
lems they say exist in the fish
farm industry. —

Tn the past the society has
been worried about the amount
of effluent on the ocean floor
underneath fish farms.

Members say the build up
kills marine life and damages
the environment.

But the lack of testing wor-
ties the 200-member society
the most, said Schillinger.

He said only 400 fish were
tested out of 18,000 tonnes of

‘ moratorium on the granting of
“new fish farm licences,

salmon produced on fish farms
in 1991.

“We want legislation for the
labelling of all fish products so
the consumer can know their
origin of the fish products,’* he
said.

The society also wants a

“We know we can’t close
down fish farms. We think that
when they go out of business,
no new anes are to be started,”’
said Schillinger. :
“He‘said there are 291 fish
farms now in the province, 71
of which were given licences
by the current NDP govem-
ment, ,

Schillinger said he is dis- ©
appointed ‘in the attitude of the
NDP, saying ‘they listened to
him while in opposition but
don’t now that they are in
government.

One of the antibiotics used in
fish farms, oxytctracycline,
calls for handling while wear-
ing rubber gloves, a dust mask
and goggles, indicates in-
formation provided by Schil-
linger. ,

Schillinger said saciety
members got e good response
while handing out 250 leaflets
last week.

Often people in Terrace were

storms hit in an average year, said
Holt. .

The only serious storms this

And even Mother Nature was in
