National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Aquaculture Development: Discussion (Resumed)
6:30 pm
Mr. John Connolly:
The first time fish farming cages went out to my area ESB, it took three years for the salmon to grow. Salmon now are for the market in one year. On the health of the salmon, the fishermen cannot use them. There is something wrong with them although I do not know what. I looked at the Dublin market today and there were heads there to be sold for human consumption. Why can they be sold for people but fishermen cannot use them as bait?
