But production of rainbow trout, which is immune to ASA, is increasing substantially and I suspect that in the long term effective vaccines will be developed. I also think that Chilean salmon production is here to stay—it is economically more viable than European or US production, the industry can become more efficient, the product is less contaminated that European salmon, and wild salmon is becoming increasingly expensive and threatened. Perhaps this episode will lead to a more socially and environmentally friendly industry. I hope so; I’d really like eat more salmon.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689286618770701205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676706555611983773.post-28549425568192491932009-04-16T09:38:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:38:00.000-04:00I believe that nowadays the Chilean salmon industr...I believe that nowadays the Chilean salmon industry is not the big industry that once was. With the arrival of the ISA virus, the profits fell in a big dramatic way, and therefore the big firms are moving their operations elsewhere, setting off a rise in unemployment, a fall in economic growth, etc.<br />It is the same scenario as in Lota Schwager (coal mine-based town)...Marcelo A.
