"Ecojustice is seeking a Federal Court order to declare it was illegal
for the salmon farming company Marine Harvest to move salmon to an
open-pen fish farm in Shelter Bay last month where they say they could
mix with wild salmon.
The action is being taken on behalf of
marine researcher Alexandra Morton who alleges the Atlantic salmon were
infected with a virus called PRV, which may cause a disease that affects
the muscles and heart of salmon." - The Province
