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.

@helenczerski I never realised #salmon was carnivorous & #farmedfish needed fishmeal🤦🏽‍♀️. A few adjustment I’ll make:
- look out for more #veggie fish & #seafood (tilapia, mussels…) https://www.seachoice.org/info-centre/aquaculture/wild-fish-in-feed/
- never trust certification bodies, the sea is the last frontier of #corruption, worse than land https://news.mongabay.com/2019/12/catching-fish-to-feed-fish-report-details-unsustainable-fishmeal-and-oil-industry/
- if we go straight to the source of #omega3 with micro #algae, we’d better accelerate our #climateaction as #plankton is dying in overheated #oceans https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/06/220623164313.htm
@beladona I know, right?
Docs said to #eatMoreFish and #eatLessRedMeat.
Lots of reports said #wildFish were healthier to eat than #farmedFish.
So now what?
#AllTofu? I'm sure there are problems with having #tooMuchSoy also.
