re Fish farming - How do you contain a waterborne disease agent? This is much harder to do than with poultry that live in an enclosed environment (building) imo. Also keep in mind that there are native fish around, including native wild salmon around that can spread the disease from one location to the other. The cross contamination of wild fish is one of the main reason why fish farming is not that popular in many circles. With the risk of entire crops being destroyed, I cannot see how paying a dividend close to 100% of the earnings is sustainable. It has happened before in 2008 an if you look, Marine Harvest equity is still lower than it was in 2007. I think this is a little bit of a gamble operation.
