Where is the salmon you eat being farmed?

Unfortunately, the growth of this industry has been at the peril of wild fish.

Salmon & Trout Conservation needs your help with their latest campaign. The growing demand for Atlantic salmon on our dinner tables has supported the boom of fish farms around the west coast of Scotland.

Unfortunately, the growth of this industry has been at the peril of wild fish. Did you know that high levels of sea lice parasites spilling from fish farms are threatening Scottish wild salmon and sea trout populations? Treatments to control the spread are in place but parasites are gaining resistance and numbers are frequently over the recommended ‘Code of Good Practice’ threshold.
It’s time for a positive change. The fight begins in the supermarkets and we need your help! Please click on the following link to see how you can play an important role in the campaign to protect wild salmon and sea trout populations.
