The federal government is dismantling a state-of-the-art Nova Scotia fish hatchery it spent CAD 400,000 (USD 378 million, EUR 275 million) upgrading over the last five years.
The Mersey Centre for Biodiveristy in Milton was a breeding ground for endangered and threatened fish, including Atlantic salmon and its cousin the Atlantic white fish.
But Fisheries and Oceans Canada is shutting down the facility one building at a time. The fish have been removed and the labs and scientists are gone. Special ponds constructed with the help of the Queens County Fish and Game Association are gone, too.
