Take it from a #Norwegian: #fishing companies are evil. They know fully well what they are doing and have made many subspecies of fish extinct for purile greed.

The #FishFarms are 3x as evil, but still.

Norwegian fish farms pollute fjords with waste likened to ‘raw sewage of millions of people’.

Norwegian fish farms are filling fjords and other coastal waters with nutrient pollution equivalent to the raw sewage of tens of millions of people each year, a report has found.

Norway's aquaculture released 75 000 tonnes of nitrogen, 13 000 tonnes of phosphorus and 360 000 tonnes of organic carbon in 2025.

The ghost farms choking Greece's coastline – DW – 12/19/2025

dw.com/en/the-ghost-farms-chok…

Many of the giant rings dotting Greece's coastline are ghost farms, abandoned infrastructure poisoning the local waters and economy. Now, a Greek NGO is trying to figure out how to get them out.

Buried the actual lede of the story... so here it is:

""Seeing these salmon runs exceeding estimated pre-season numbers by four and five times is truly a reflection of the hard work we have done to remove fish farms on the approach to the Fraser River," Werk pointed out. "

As a former deckhand on a family commercial salmon troller in 1990s, before the explosion of fish farms on the coast, I think there are more factors than just the closing of open net fish farms that has supported the return of this year's huge run of sockeye. It could be ocean temperatures in the North Pacific rebounding (down), it could be conditions on the Fraser River and the spawning streams... many things.

But do i think fish farms were decimating the health of fish migrating to and from the Fraser River and contributing to low return runs?

You're damn right I do.

"Turkish-farmed sea bass and sea bream is being fed on fishmeal exported from three factories in Senegal ... The women who work locally must keep their prices affordable for their customers and say they cannot compete on price with the factories, forcing increasing numbers of them out of work.
The data led us from these factories, via Turkey’s sea bass and sea bream farms, to Billingsgate fish market in London and the fish counters of supermarkets across the UK. Here, fish grown by farms that have used Senegalese fishmeal are labelled “responsibly” sourced or farmed, based on certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and other standards bodies."

Another BC organization that I've supported & volunteered with:

#WatershedWatchSalmonSociety is a #ScienceBased #charity working to defend and rebuild B.C.’s #WildSalmon.

Watershed Watch Salmon Society was founded two decades ago by a small group of passionate #conservationists. Led by #ecologist Craig Orr, they noticed that while a lot of work relating to #fisheries and #HabitatRestoration was being done on the ground on local #waterways, no one was pulling together the pieces to confront #policy decisions at the federal and provincial levels.

Craig and his associates launched Watershed Watch Salmon Society to fill that gap, offering #ScientificExpertise to policy makers, and highlighting the large scale issues affecting local waterways, from #FishFarms to #ClimateChange.

Watershed Watch Salmon Society involves many people beyond our paid staff and dedicated board members. We have thousands of supporters and a growing crew of #volunteers who are passionate about wild salmon. Whether you read our emails, sign our petitions, donate, get out in your #community to talk about our work or join us in the field, you are an important part of Watershed Watch.

‘Can we save the wild salmon of Iceland?’: Björk releases ‘lost’ song to fight fish farming

We so need this for #Scotland too. Wild Atlantic #salmon are in crisis. Being pushed to #extinction by filthy #fishFarms, #climateChange and extractive land use (#abuse)

Maybe @ionafyfe could pick up the cause? 😊

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.
