Top Ten Myths in the
‘Block Corporate Salmon’ Report
BCS criticizes our alleged “willingness to use antibiotics” on our fish and accuses our company of “hiding the truth.” But they provide ZERO evidence for these claims. AquaBounty is committed to not using ANY unnecessary antibiotics. Responsible aquaculture is first and foremost about keeping fish healthy.
BCS repeatedly references vague but severe sounding “fines” for “breaching environmental laws”, but they all link to a single example: a small citation related to late paperwork submitted not by us, but by a property owner from whom we leased a small research facility.
BCS alludes to a “a huge containment breach” of our aquaculture system in 2008. But what actually happened? A storm caused a tree to fall on a water intake pipe for some of our tanks, and the fish in the affected tanks died. That’s it. These fish were not “lost” and they did not escape. Period.
BCS uses loaded words to insinuate that we are somehow irresponsible actors. For instance they claim our facility will “dump” water into the St. Joseph River, but they don’t say a word about the leading-edge, multilayered treatment and purification it will undergo first, similar to the treatment given to drinking water around the country.
