Farmed Salmon

[Goingback]

Migratory fish have so many hazards, both at sea and running the predatory gauntlet back to polluted, sewage-infested rivers with the redds scraped out and overgrown foliage. No salmon farming in the Bristol Channel and no salmon in the Severn, Usk or Wye.
I bet in Scotland that the SNP aren't worried about depleting the wild stocks of fish, affecting the Lairds incomes

JMHO, but the salmon will bounce back; it's a normal cycle that ebbs and flows with the climate change cycle. I'm sure there was likely a large die off of salmon back when the Romans were growing wine grapes in what would become the UK.

Sorry to say this but you are so wrong.

Much promoted of course, Sainsbury farmed salmon, by the well known "mockney" cook Jamie Oliver.

I've been telling people for ages not to eat salmon. I read that each salmon cage (around 150 in number), produces the same amount of detritus, + chemicals, as a herd of 1000 cows. Sea lice are also a huge problem.
Pollution in general is the biggest problem salmon face, from farms as much as water companies, apparently only the river Dart has acceptable levels of pollution in England.
Anyone read the latest GWCT newsletter? When Hinkley Point gets going (without the fish scarer they were originally supposed to have), the coolant system will suck in any passing fish, including of course, salmon and sea trout.

Tasmanian farmed salmon come with basically all of the same dramas and questions as above.

That's disappointing John.

No need to worry. Wild Justice exists to solve issues like this. If they're bothering with minor details like attacking shooting, they will already have solved major disasters like salmon farming, won't they?

The EU threatened Scottish government with daily fines until they eventually withdrew licenses of costal netting stations. I was asked to get a fish for a guest from the netting station nearest a year or so before the end, I asked how the season had been: ‘nothing great’, he’d only netted 52 in the past day and a half….

All catch and release for rod anglers of course!
