florfenicol
in fish
Tofino, BC May 15, 2008

Due to a shortage of
young fish it was necessary for Creative Salmon to purchase some fish
from other hatcheries in 2007. One of these groups of fish had been
treated with antibiotic in 2006. During recent sampling of these fish by
Creative Salmon trace levels of the antibiotic Florfenicol was found.
Further sampling has indicated trace levels in some other groups of our
fish as well. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of these
preliminary findings.

Creative
Salmon has never used the product Malachite Green.
Tofino, BC January 8, 2008 –
Creative Salmon was informed by the US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday, December
27th, 2007 that Malachite Green had reportedly been found in a sample of fish from
our Eagle Bay farm. The fish was collected during routine sampling at the US border on
Dec 4, 2007. At this point we are unable to explain this result as all previous testing
of these fish have turned up negative.
