Why would anyone want to eat a vaccinated, chemically treated fish? A fish that has been swimming in a densely populated pen, with a diaper-like system to catch its feces – sounds yummy, doesn’t it? As a lobsterman for the last 18 years in Bar Harbor, I am completely against the proposed American Aquafarms project. It’s just bad. Large industrial-scale aquaculture has no place in Frenchman Bay or anywhere in the waters of Maine. Sacrificing places where we have fished for years in order to grow these Frankenfish makes no sense at all. ~ Curtis Gott, Bar Harbor
