When the Hites study about PCBs in farmed salmon was published, Dr. Daniel Pauly of UBC told the press that if his daughter was pregnant, he would tell her to avoid farmed salmon. In 2002, Dr. Pauly likened salmon farms to floating pig farms. "They make a terrific mess," he told the L.A. Times. Three days later, the Pew Chartitable Trusts paid Dr. Pauly $300,000 to publicize the findings of the Hites study.
