British Columbia-based king salmon farmer Creative Salmon is planning to meet with members of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation in response to a video released by the nonprofit conservation group Sea Shepherd (below) this week showing juvenile salmon and deformed fish at one of its sites in the Tofino Inlet.
Creative salmon was the first salmon farming company in North America to receive organic certification.
Tim Rundle, Creative Salmon's general manager, told IntraFish this is the first time the company has encountered Sea Shepherd, which also organized protests in BC over salmon farming in 2018.
