Cooke Aquaculture comes under further fire

摘要

Government crackdown: Washington state is increasingly playing hardball against Cooke Aquaculture, which gained coast-wide infamy with last summer's mass escape of Atlantic salmon from its failed net pens at Cypress Island.The scale of the escape is estimated at 160,000 fish and their invasive range is reportedly beyond Puget Sound, extending as far north as Vancouver Island. As 2017 closed, the company absorbed blows from various quarters of state government.
