>Dr. Volpe is an Assistant Professor of Invasion and Fisheries Biology at
>the University of Alberta and his research explored the invasion ecology of
>aquaculture escaped Atlantic salmon. Currently, his research interests
>include the influence of the aquaculture industry on the biology of coastal
>BC including Atlantic salmon escapees, farm effluents and sea lice. Volpe
>will share startling results from the six years he studied feral Atlantic
>salmon on Vancouver Island, also providing an explanation for the failure
>of historical Atlantic salmon introductions to British Columbia and
>demonstrate how conditions now favor Atlantic salmon colonization. Dr.
>Volpe will conclude by reviewing the current state of knowledge regarding
>the array of issues facing the aquaculture industry which viewed together,
>have led some to propose that salmon farms represent time bombs set amidst
>B.C. and Washington State coastal communities.
