Exposing the realities of salmon farming in Scotland.
Wild Atlantic Salmon are on the brink of extinction in the UK. Salmon farms are not helping.
People who eat farmed salmon frequently don’t even know it’s farmed, their ignorance about what they are eating is wiping out an endangered species
**BREAKING** dailyrecord.co.uk/news/snp-minis… The Industry says it needs to spend this money to protect against potential tariffs to America. It's total nonsense, we are importing farmed salmon from Norway whilst exporting Scottish salmon to other countries.
Wild salmon face a number of threats, climate change is one, the other main driver for extinction is salmon farming. thestar.com.my/lifestyle/livi…
The reason these escaped farmed salmon have a bounty on their heads, is due to the wild population being destroyed, if the farmed breed with the wild then the wild genetics are polluted and have less chance of survival in the wild. salmonbusiness.com/catch-me-if-yo…
Scotlands second largest salmon farmer Bakkafrost came to Scotland a few years ago they took over many of the most southerly salmon farms. They stupidly didn't factor in climate change & warming waters so are now facing financial ruin. salmonbusiness.com/bakkafrost-war…
latest lice data shows Fishnish had 3.3 adult female lice per fish. the limit for June is 0.5 for July it is 1. In Norway we typically see about 2-3% of farms go over the lice limits, Scotland it's often 20-30% going over. Norway they get penalised.. freesalmon.is/lice
The world's oceans are being plundered to feed farmed salmon, around a quarter of those salmon will never even make it out of the farm due to disease and pestilence. What have we done to the earth?
The entirely foreign owned billionaire salmon farming companies are given money by Scottish tax payers to help export salmon to France, whilst we are importing salmon from Norway! No wonder they’re laughing intrafish.com/salmon/scottis…

Farmed salmon is grey unless you add chemicals to the diet, scientists have now genetically engineered rapeseed to produce the colouring. Consumers conned again foodprocessing.com.au/content/proces…
What a surprise, multinational salmon farm companies that make billions from Scottish workers aren’t sharing the profits and treating workers badly. heraldscotland.com/news/25259769.…
Do you know anyone who still eats salmon from Scotland? Perhaps let them know they are eating poison
Salmon farming is the canary in the coalmine for climate change. Mortality events due to warming seas is becoming way more frequent, we ignore the wider consequences at our peril.
SalMar ordered to empty salmon farm over safety concerns Norwegian authorities have deemed the prototype facility "technically and environmentally unsound" for continued use in fish production. @IucnOcean @ocean_climate @dorfman_p @salhaj intrafish.com/aquaculture/sa…
