At the Charlie Cove fish farm near St. Andrews, salmon are being farmed alongside shellfish and kelp. Biology expert Dr. Thierry Chopin tells CHSJ News it creates a natural environment for the fish to live in.
Chopin says he would like to farm sea urchins and sea cucumbers along with the salmon, and has applied for the funding to be able to start next year. Fish farmers say the problem with sea lice this year is low.
