Fish farming companies Cermaq and Marine Harvest are coming under fire from coastal First Nations, who have issued eviction notices and tried to stop operations.
RCMP arrested and released four members of the Ahousaht First Nation early this week after they tried to block Cermaq from restocking a farm in the Clayoquot Sound area.
Cermaq employees were towing Atlantic salmon smolts to the Cermaq Dixon Bay fish farm site on Monday evening, when the Ahousaht members said they followed them and boarded the site.
