So much debate about that now BP...as it seems there were record returns everywhere except southern BC (Fraser, Thompson, Somass etc) and that is where the bulk of the fish farms lay. However, Campbell River and the broughton archipelago have many many fish farms as well and the pink (said to be the salmon most affected by the sea lice) returns to the rivers were 3x the previous records!!! So it is such a tough thing to prove...and therefore why the fish farms still remain in our waters.

However, like I said before, the unreal returns that the US and central coast saw this year is a great sign. The US has done a great job of recovering their lost stocks...and this year, apparently, a lot of the fish we were catching were US bound...again, that is apparently...no idea how you'd prove that but I know the Coho returns to the Columbia are phenomonal.
