One of the BCSFA members, Marine Harvest Canada, BC's largest aquaculture company, is using full page advertisements in the North Island Gazette and the Victoria Times-Colonist to update the public on its success in minimizing the number of sea lice on its farmed fish in the Broughton Archipelago area during the current out-migration of wild juvenile salmon. A key priority of salmon farmers, like all British Columbians, is the health and long-term viability of wild salmon stocks. The BC Salmon Farmers Association works collaboratively with government, industry, First Nation groups, environmental and stewardship groups to ensure there is a healthy co-existence between wild and farm-raised fish.
