N.S. rejects calls for moratorium on fish farming 
CA Source: CBC News 3/15/2012

The provincial government says it won't be looking at a moratorium on fish farming in Nova Scotia because it believes the industry is good for the province.
The call for a moratorium on open pen salmon farms followed confirmation of Infectious Salmon Anemia found at the Cooke Aquaculture operation in Shelburne.

When the virus was first suspected, Cooke voluntarily destroyed two pens.
 

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered a third pen destroyed once ISA was confirmed.

Dozens of community, angling and tourism groups called on Nova Scotia this week to halt expansion.

"We have no intention of looking seriously at a moratorium at this time or any time in the future, Nova Scotia Fisheries Minister Sterling Belliveau said Thursday.

"I'm encouraged to bring forward some factual information forward to those who have some possible concerns about aquaculture."
