Norway’s wild salmon are on the brink. Parasites from offshore salmon farms are spreading into open waters, wiping out populations that once numbered over a million. With numbers now under 400,000, many rivers are closed to fishing. Can sustainable farming save them?

@fletch Absolutely — that’s the heart of it. Corporate lobbying = political capture. Multinationals aren’t just farming salmon, they’re farming our politicians too.

Tasmania’s largest salmon producer fined $78k for four environmental breaches — a mere slap on the wrist.
EPA documents reveal repeated licence violations. Where’s the real accountability?

Shocking Revelation: Tasmania's Salmon Farms at Risk for Years

As early as 2017, scientists warned the Tasmanian government about the catastrophic risk of disease wiping out fish in salmon farms. Their advice? Strengthen biosecurity measures to protect the industry.

But instead of acting, the government—under pressure from the salmon industry—weakened standards and handed out exemptions to the new biosecurity program.

Now, the consequences are unfolding. Why weren't warnings heeded? #Tasmania #SalmonFarming #BiosecurityFail #lobbying #JBSFoods

Polluting industries like salmon farming must be properly regulated, not given a free pass. It’s outrageous that the government seems ready to risk the future of a unique Australian species for the sake of one industry.

Did you know? Tasmanian salmon farms generate 6 times more pollution annually than the entire sewage output of Tasmania!
This shocking comparison highlights just how impactful salmon farming can be on our environment. Let's rethink sustainable practices for a healthier planet!

#Salmon from #SalmonFarming was one of my staples. I used to spring for the more expensive Superior Gold smoked salmon, and I'd eat a couple of slivers most days. Then #Tassal smeared their branding all over it, perhaps hoping it would elevate Tassal.

Nope, just destroyed what had looked like an independent higher quality product.

So now, like a lot of people, I dont eat #Tasmanian Salmon.

Trying to find a smoked salmon that is ethically produced, and heavily smoked so its not gelatinous.

@Alpha1Nine
Why isn’t this reported on by all media.

We need more info on #salmonfarming. Like exactly what they’re fed and the causes for the die-offs. And also what are the chemicals, growth hormones and anti-bacterial agents present in the processed product we buy in shops.

I’m no longer eating the stuff.

#PeterDutton has pledged to continue supporting salmon farming in Tasmania's Macquarie Harbour, despite concerns about its impact on the endangered Maugean skate. The harbour, the skate's last refuge, suffers from degraded water quality linked to aquaculture. Critics also point to the Brazilian-owned multinational #jbs profiting from this environmental degradation. Should profit trump the survival of a species? #Environment #Tasmania #SalmonFarming #Auspol #Lobbying #Bribery

Tsahaukuse, George Quocksister Jr. is a #HereditaryChief of the #Laichkwiltach Nation and the son of Elizabeth and George Quocksister. He is a passionate advocate for the protection of #WildSalmon as a crucial part of his culture and the food security of his people, and is working to ban the practice of #SalmonFarming on the west coast. He lives in Campbell River, BC.

This is from our 2020 #DiscoveryIslands flotilla protest & restocking patrol with George & 2 other BC Indigenous Chiefs(Darren Blaney & Bill Wilson) from North Island regions.

The fight to get fish farms out of BC waters started in the late 80s & continues.

Over 1,100 tonnes of farmed salmon in Tasmania’s Macquarie Harbour have died between September and March, with no reported cause. Now, the industry’s expansion, which began in 2012, is under review by the federal environment minister due to concerns for the endangered Maugean skate. A group of scientists has called on the minister to prioritise the skate’s survival and help the local community transition away from reliance on the salmon farming industry.

Former #Scottish #SalmonFarming boss accused of #spying on a key #critic of the industry is among the directors of a firm aiming to build the #UK ’s largest #FishFarm in #Grimsby . 

According to #CompaniesHouse - Craig Anderson is a “person with significant control” of #AquaCulturedSeafoodLimited , which submitted early stage plans for a £75m onshore salmon farm in the English town at the end of last year.
