@mairigougeoun.bsky.social assertions are not borne out by the facts. 1/4 of the #salmon that went to sea died before harvest last year, that is over 10.9 million fish. The suffering and waste is off the scale.

The shocking truth behind the £1.5 billion UK salmon industry EXCLUSIVE: Following damning reports of cruelty and disease in the Scottish salmon farming industry, health experts say the ‘superfood' isn't even as good for you as you might think

🐟 Our wild fish are in crisis 🐟

New Government data shows salmon catches in Scotland are at their sixth lowest since records began in 1952 — and sea trout numbers are even worse.

We cannot ignore this.

Farming Today - 12/04/2025 Farming Today This Week: Salmon Farming, Wildfire and Trade - BBC Sounds Does the future of salmon farming lie in deeper water?

Great to hear Wild Fish puncturing Mowi's waffle around their Colonsay site. 73600 escaped #ScottishSalmon, elevated sea lice numbers, and 202000 dead fish in a week do not equate to a good example of animal/fish husbandry. #Offthetable

📢 Join me: send a message to call for a pause and email the Scottish Government directly.

Let’s show them just how many of us care.

Salmon farms file 210 appeals to 'sabotage' lice controls Salmon farms have lodged 210 appeals against controls on lice infestations imposed by the Scottish Government’s environment watchdog.

These farms are foreign owned, + consistently lobby against rules meant to regulate their impacts in Scotland. They are given more public money than they pay in tax, whilst leaving us a legacy of pollution + despoilation. What is the true cost of #Scottishsalmon?
