Salmon Farm Science, Sept. 16, 2014

We were going to write about the contradictions, lies and half-truths which characterized activist Alexandra Morton’s hour-long radio love-in with Ian Jessop on CFAX yesterday.

But we didn’t really want to. It’s just too painful to debunk the same points over and over again…

So we were thrilled to read today that one BC scientist, who has been a cornerstone of fisheries science and who has published hundreds of papers crucial to understanding wild salmon, was recognized by the prestigious International Council for Exploration of the Seas.

The Prix d'Excellence recognizes the highest level of achievement in marine sciences and important contributions to ICES vision. Dr. Walters, Emeritus professor at the University of British Columbia, is a specialist in fisheries stock assessments, adaptive management, and ecosystem modeling. He uses mathematical modeling and computer simulation techniques to better understand the dynamics of exploited marine ecosystems and to find more effective methods to manage them.
