Should be clarified that the DNR decision was on net pen operations that raise fish to maturity, for seafood market - mostly atlantic salmon and some rainbow/steelhead. The other net pen operations in Puget Sound are mainly or even exclusively(?) used for rearing juvenile hatchery salmon (PS Chinook and coho) ahead of release, to grow in the sound and or ocean. These juvenile netpens would not be affected by this DNR decision.
