Losses from British Columbia's farmed salmon cull could total $134 million

The decision to close the Discovery Islands farming area could lead to a loss of more than 24% of the province's salmon production, according to a new report.

In addition to impacting more than 1,500 jobs in the region, the decision will mean a potential loss of over CAD170 million ($135 million/€111 million) to BC’s salmon farmers from having to euthanize 10.7 million young fish.
