The Pacific Salmon Foundation, which receives millions in taxpayer dollars for conservation and research, is dodging questions about its recent study as activists use the findings to push...removal of salmon farms in B.C.

Through the operational life of #fishfarms, environmental effects are limited and managed by a robust regulatory framework.
Monitoring of the surrounding complex #marine environment is carried out frequently.

“I want to ensure our domestic seafood sector thrives in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. By increasing opportunities in our wild-caught domestic fisheries and expanding seafood farming operations, we can get more American seafood on American plates.” @NOAA

New scientific dietary recommendations from Ireland’s @FSAIinfo recommend including oily #fish once a week in adolescents’ diets, helping improve intake of the important omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.

The news article by the Canadian Seafood Farms gave me a smile and pride that we are improving the aquaculture industry and that salmon/trout feed matters. 🇨🇦🐟

AECOM's independent Communities Report explores how salmon farming supports people and places across rural, coastal and island Scotland.

Five community case studies from #Shetland, #Orkney, the #OuterHebrides, the #InnerHebrides and the #Highlands highlight local experiences and impacts.

💼 Around 2,460 direct jobs are supported by the sector across Scotland.
👥 350+ people were recruited locally by salmon farmers in 2025.
🎓 139 apprenticeships were delivered in 2025, helping create opportunities for the next generation.
🏠 120+ homes are provided by salmon farmers to support workers in remote and island communities.
🤝 Every responding salmon farmer operates a community benefit fund, supporting local projects, events, schools and community groups.
🌊 100+ beach cleans were supported by salmon farmers in 2025, covering more than 80 miles of coastline.

The case studies show that the benefits of salmon farming extend beyond the farm gate, helping to support vibrant and resilient communities across Scotland's coastlines and islands.

Scrutiny matters. So does transparency.
@tavishscott explains why organisations seeking to influence the sector should be open about who funds their campaigns and what that funding supports.

@CanadianGreens @ElizabethMay Calling Fed-regulated farms "toxic" borders on libel, MP May. Such subjective & irresponsible comments run counter to the science-based approach the Green Party claims to follow. You know full well that you have no open-net farms in your riding. Do better for British Columbians.

My family buys a whole salmon every month and enjoy amazing, healthy meals and now it’s much cheaper than “farmed beef.”

Myth: remove salmon farms and sea lice disappear. Monitoring in the BC Discovery Islands & Broughton shows lice persist on wild juvenile salmon after farm removal. Via @bcsalmonfarmers: https://t.co/VrCFozPJst

Living #rent free in Sue's head is great. However, just to be clear... Salmon Coast Research Station finding the same thing (see what their data produces below) and also #peer reviewed Sue.... #truth #facts and the end of a #20yearlie Alex and her #minions owe people an apology.

The idealogue activists are unrelenting and so out of touch with reality. Farming fish is good and necessary for a sustainable seafood supply. It can be done right. Where is the reasonable dialogue? #aquaculture #salmon
