Triodos, what happened to your sustainable ambitions? 🤔 As of November 2024, Triodos has invested a shocking $16 million dollars in Bakkafrost, one of the world’s largest fish farming companies. (1/5)

📢 EXPOSED: Big banks and investors are pouring $ BILLIONS into the salmon farming industry, driving its enormous growth and huge profits at the expense of wild fish populations and communities around the globe. Here are 5 key takeaways from our new report that you should know about 🧵(1/6)

Antibiotic resistance in farmed salmon is way worse than previously recognised. thefishsite.com/articles/stu...

Farmed salmon from Scotland in the news again today, hard to believe that salmon are considered a healthy choice of food to eat. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Humpback whale that was trapped on a salmon farm at the Isle of Skye is now free, but with an increase of these whales visiting Scotland, it's only a question of when not if this happens again.

Wild Atlantic Salmon in Ireland are under threat from farmed salmon. Inter breeding with farmed salmon could wipe them out. afloat.ie/port-news/fi...

The Soil Association and the RSPCA assured scheme are not fit for purpose, neither has an upper limit for mortality, a farmer could lose 99% of their fish and the remaining 1% would still get the "high welfare" rubber stamp. Why?

Pearl Jellyfish wipe out 200,000 salmon, the industry blames rising sea temps. If that's the case isn't it time that the industry called it a day? or do they have some clever tricks on how to reverse climate change? oceanographicmagazine.com/news/200000-...

Lots of papers today covering the report from Scottish parliament committee. It's a shame organisations like the RSPCA & Soil Association can't pay attention to this report, they need to stop certifying farms with high mortality. archive.ph/zvXSb

The man, the myth, the legend, Don Staniford has joined Bluesky. Give him a follow @donstaniford.bsky.social

Salmon farming now banned in Washington after huge escape of salmon from farms in 2017. Meanwhile in Scotland the largest escape in a decade is hidden from the public for 2 years…

Salmon farmers don’t have to report when farmed fish escape during transport! Wild Atlantic salmon are an endangered species and escapes like this could finish them off. archive.ph/uBdaX

Don’t put poison on the plate this Christmas.

Salmon farming is a dirty business… How do you know the salmon you eat isn’t a diseased zombie salmon? Go on fish eaters - tell me how much you love eating zombie salmon…

Who’s made my naughty list this year…? Anyone I missed? Tag them below

It speaks to the gravity of the problems across the Assured scheme that Chris, who was so proud to represent the RSPCA, has decided his only choice now is to leave. By endorsing animal agriculture instead of protecting those trapped within it, the RSPCA has lost its way.

Well done @carolinelucas.bsky.social cas.bsky.social and @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ham.bsky.social for making a stand against the RSPCA's hypocrisy. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme... archive.ph/6A7UM

The Soil Association can’t escape the fact that chemicals they’ve banned have been routinely fed to “organic salmon” that’s currently for sale www.thegrocer.co.uk/comment-and-...

Azamethiphos used in #salmon farming to control parasites. Effects linked to neurological disorders, decreasing male fertility, foetal abnormalities, chronic fatigue syndrome and Parkinson's disease.' Use up in Scotland 33% between 2018 - 2023. Please don't eat farmed salmon. mol.im/a/14177313

1/3 This scandal with so-called 'organic' salmon is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are consumers being duped into paying premium prices for farmed salmon doused in toxic chemicals, but the entire practice of fish farming is an environmental disaster. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

The Soil Association have been certifying farmed salmon that contain banned chemicals, which they themselves say can lead to Parkinson’s!! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

The Rural Affairs and Islands Committee is sitting in private today to try and find answers to questions we've been taking evidence on for the last six months. Here are some of the questions and issues I've been raising throughout the salmon farming inquiry 👇

Protest today was full of passion, as we all came together to fight for our beloved Storm Bay. Our pristine south eastern bays and coastlines, where we live, swim, fish and surf, are in danger of environmental disaster. Please! NO MORE FISH FARMS!

The stretch of the River Cam in Cambridge which has been designated bathing water, Sheep’s Green, failed the phosphate test, failed the nitrate test and failed the ammonia test. You have been warned. www.lbc.co.uk/news/feargal...

Don Staniford of Scamon Scotland claimed “Scottish salmon is a welfare nightmare that should be avoided. Yet retailers are flouting fish labelling laws and misleading consumers" www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1982...

Boycott salmon to save the whales. Investigations have found that krill is used by the two major Tasmanian aquaculture companies & their feed suppliers. They are literally stealing krill from the whales’ mouths. tasgreensmps.org/parliament/a...

Ireland: 'Are seals to blame for eating 8,000 missing farmed salmon?' Interesting headline choice. I prefer: 'Are #Salmon farmers responsible for the release of 8000 farmed salmon into the environment - to the potential detriment of wild salmon stocks?' www.salmonbusiness.com/ireland-are-...

Wild fish extraction for aquaculture feed is particularly intensive for carnivorous species. Farming a single Atlantic salmon can require extracting over a thousand anchovies from the ocean. When we consider collateral mortality during fishing, the ratio climbed higher yet.

Scotland's marine muds sink more carbon than our forestry, peat, + terrestrial soils combined. If damaged (e.g. by bottom dragged fishing gear or #salmon farming) the sinks lose their function + can become Carbon sources. @thesnp.bsky.social must protect them. spice-spotlight.scot/2021/03/24/o...
