text: As the fish farming grows world wide, as it will, consumers care about prices and availability more than philosophical arguments by fisherman.  Alaska can and should continue to focus on the quality of wild salmon. Alaska is not going to stop the farming in the rest of the world becasue we do not like farmed fish.  There is a segment of the population who will continue to seeks the best quality available regardless of price.  Those buyers are the exception not the rule. 
  
  As I see the situation  it is parallel to the fast food industry.  There are low priced fast food joints on every corner of most cities.  There also is a place in those cities for the white table cloth restaurants.  The customers of either are there becasue of price and service.  The preponderance of fast food places overwhelms the white table cloth places, serves as evidence that price not quality is what drives the vast majority of  customers through which door.
