A West Coast fish farm was hit with a $350,000 fine for illegally operating a steelhead salmon farm in Lois Lake, near Powell River.

West Coast Fishculture (Lois Lake) Ltd pleaded guilty Thursday in Powell River Provincial Court to operating without a license under the Fisheries Act after knowingly operating its fish farm outside the bounds of its aquaculture tenure.
 

“What’s really important here is the need for a deterrent effect on others in the industry, and it has to be more than the mere cost of doing business,” Federal Crown prosecutor Molly Greene told the court.
