King Salmon source their salmon food from the offal etc from Nelson's fishery. This is an environmental positive.

Not true Jerry. Some of it comes from the fishing industry in NZ, but a very small percentage. However, the NZ aquaculture industry and many others have been working with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) for several years to develop environmental and social standards to assess and certify farm practises.
The New Zealand fish farming industry at this point is too small to justify the investment in large scale production of consistent quality specialised fish food. New Zealand would need production levels of 60,000t to 80,000t a year to support a feed producing plant. I think from memory the annual production here in NZ is currently only 13,000-15,000 tonnes. At such low levels of production, NZ will always be reliant on imported fish food.
This industry here in NZ really is doing its best to do things in an environmentally responsible way. It is an ongoing and never ending process and there will always be many people opposed, whatever they do.

I recon the outcome will be quite digital. If the proposed resource consent swap in the sounds gets approved, than they are likely to do well. If there is however political interference, than they are likely to have problems. 2 hot for me, though admittedly - I think the risk for Labour/Green interference is dropping (and this is probably what Mr Market is trying to tell us as well).
Obviously - there is still the issue with the sounds apparently being a bit too warm to farm salmon. This might be long-term (global warming) another distractor, but maybe all the ice they currently drop into Antarctic waters helps to keep the water for the next couple of decades cool .
