To produce 1.5 million tonnes of salmon the Norwegian salmon farming industry needs 2 million tonnes of wild fish, nearly all caught off west Africa. That’s enough to feed 33 million people. The immorality of it is just breathtaking. feedbackglobal.org/blue-empire-ho…
@BenGoldsmith @fionamarycamero The tragedy of the commons of our oceans.
@BenGoldsmith But those wild fish get eaten by other fish anyway. We first started farming salmon to alleviate the pressure on the decline in wild salmon availability. The main cause of wild salmon decline is by seals which we no longer manage because they’re cute.
@BenGoldsmith Very well expressed. Morally apprehensible. All who know or involved should be ashamed. No wonder why Scandinavian Countries should question their Consciences.

@BenGoldsmith Thanks Ben for sharing- much appreciated! The theft of fish for Norwegian salmon is a truly shocking- could get worse still if plans for the UK's first on-land salmon farm in Grimsby come to pass - going to email you about this.
@BenGoldsmith @PeteNorth303 How much of these wild fish are suitable for human consumption and are you sure that 1.5 million tonnes of salmon doesn't have higher caloric value than 2 million tonnes of wild fish?

@BenGoldsmith you just published meaningless garbage. Do you know this and do it anyway, or just don't care, even though it negates whatever point you appear to be making?
It's just daft... ridiculous. And who wants to eat lice with their farmed salmon anyway??? time.com/6199237/is-far… "3 Reasons to Avoid Farmed Salmon" .
