Salmon spotter but for how much longer? The bountiful river of my youth refreshes a local salmon farm and has no wild salmon returning. Why?

[James Howson @JJHowson]

How can this still go on? It’s a national disgrace that our government supports this industry. It should be shut down. 65,000,000 dead since 2015.

@mikevonmassow @BCAquaculture Yes, welfare first - and there is NO welfare in a feedlot whether at sea or on land.
Those pathetic specimens have raggedy little tails and fins.
What a hellish “life” they must have had in their cage or tank.

Antibiotic florfenicol was detected in wild seafood 14 kilometres from salmon farm.

“Many domestic and overseas markets have a zero tolerance policy for traces of antibiotic in wild seafood”

Lochaber Fisheries Trust seeing very high sea lice infestation levels in Loch Sunart.

Salmon farming significantly increases infection levels on wild fish. 19 of 26 sea trout examined had lice exceeding mortality threshold of 0.3 lice/g.

Awesome sustainable Scottish salmon getting air freighted to the Gulf while there’s a war on. Wonder where they’re getting the fuel from… 🇷🇺🪆??

Farmed salmon in Iceland and BC lobbyists: Farmed salmon production increases; native Atlantic salmon runs collapse; industry calls for increase to 265MT by 2032; lobbyists think BC/Ottawa should see this as good.

Almost 70% of the Icelandic population oppose open cage salmon farms. But as in Scotland & Norway, politicians allow themselves to be blinded by the corporate lies:

Farmed salmon marine ingredients:
Another native species used for farmed salmon feed is over harvested, putting additional pressure on Krill in the antarctic waters and other species elsewhere.

8000 jobs were created in Norway to process “production salmon”, categorised by “deformities, open sores and wounds”.
Panic has set in because Norway is now allowed to export these fish without processing.

@MichelinGuideUK Whats with the pharmed salmon? Shouldn’t you be with so many chefs now taking a stance on that toxic rubbish?

[SᴀʟᴍᴏFᴀɴ 😱 @Salmoncon]

@GSA_Advocate Shame the opposite is true for the wild fish they’re killing.
Anyway, it’s been a cold start to the year - wait til El Niño hits these toxic death pens.

Edible fish discarded by bottom trawling fisheries represent an estimated €220 million in lost value annually.

If tobacco companies proposed a levy on every cigarette sold, used to fund a new science center with a scientific model framed on centuries old superstitions, and then said if not allowed this phantom source of revenue will be killed, what would people say?

Those pesky algae blooms are back in Norway.

Farmed salmon marine feed ingredients: Norway/China push to increase Krill harvested from Antarctic waters, seeming to believe whales/penguins will know where proposed marine protected areas will be.

This is the second major incident on the Spey in two weeks. What is @ScottishEPA doing. Salmon is an endangered species yet @scotgov doesn’t care. Thanks @Feargal_Sharkey for your support
