Wild Atlantic #salmon is “a keystone species for many mammals and birds”
1970s: 8-10 million
2020s: 3-4 million

Thousands of #FarmedSalmon escaped in #Iceland in August. They can breed, infect #WildSalmon.

Escaped #FarmedFish and #SeaLice – a persistent problem in #OpenPen farms – are their greatest threats”

F*ck late-stage capitalism and countries unable/unwilling to represent PEOPLE AND PLANET in countering short-term capricious greed.

Dammit.

This time the risk is wild Atlantic #salmon due to 1000s of #farmedFish escaping pens in #Iceland.

A reminder that #Scandinavia can be home to short-term thinking shits, too. Today’s poster child: #1 Mowi (~30% global salmon & trout market.) of Bergen, Norway. Ex-Unilever.

Docs said to #eatMoreFish and #eatLessRedMeat.
Lots of reports said #wildFish were healthier to eat than #farmedFish.

So now what?
