The claim that the removal of salmon farms contributed to the high pink salmon returns is false. Pacific Salmon Commission data shows record highs of Fraser River pinks while salmon farms were operating and record lows before salmon farms were introduced. To learn more about this year's high pink salmon returns worldwide, see the statement here: https://bcsalmonfarmers.ca/news/celebration-or-concern-the-global-pink-salmon-boom/. Additionally, Morton's claims were found to be false by CTV, which resulted in the removal of her interview from their website, which you can read about here: https://bcsalmonfarmers.ca/news/ctv-news-removes-video-containing-false-claims-about-bc-salmon-farms/ and here: https://www.undercurrentnews.com/2023/09/01/loss-of-salmon-farms-not-only-cause-of-bc-pink-returns-net-pen-opponent-morton-clarifies/
