Some days I am stunned by the amount of bad news in the fish farm/seafood industry. Find the fifth BAD NEWS BITES post here: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/05/bad-news-bites-fifth-post.html. And that reaches 2,000.
This is the link to the fourth post, Jan 14, 2017, it has 500 BAD NEWS BITES in it: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/01/bad-news-bites.html. it has links to the previous three posts since July 2015. You can find earlier ones at these links.
This is the link to the ninth post, March 29, 2018: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/03/bad-news-bites.html.
This is the link to the tenth post, Aug 9, 2018: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2018/08/bad-news-bites-aug-20-2018.html.
Here is a summary of the bad news stories:
"In one mouthful, here are the kind of stories I am finding: boom bust industry, billions made and lost, crisis in lice and disease, bankruptcy, workers fired, executives jumping company to company, dividing big bonuses, fraud, corruption, litigation, conflict of interest with government and scientists, using the ocean as a free open sewer – $10.4 Billion in BC alone, killing of whales, seals and sea lions – more than 12,000 in BC so far, slavery, unpaid labour, taxpayers paying millions for diseased, dead fish – $177 Million in Canada, dueling scientists, weakening of laws, unsustainable feed, illegal fishing, jail sentences, disasters in Norway, Scotland, Chile, Canada, bullying of scientists, governments and anyone critical of their business, cartels, collusion, price fixing, fishing down the food chain to Antarctic krill, carcinogens and persistent organic pollutants, fluoroquinolones, chicken feathers in feed, animal feces in feed, eutrophication in a time of global warming, Malachite Green fungicide in USA seafood, fake industry awards, all the wild salmon in the Pacific ocean, more than a billion, put in peril... it goes on."
Update, Dec 11, 2017: I found 500 BAD NEWS BITES in less than 3.5 months. That means well over 1000 in a year. That is how much bad news there is in fish farms/seafood industry. This post, the sixth, may be found here: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2017/08/bad-news-bites-salmonseafood-industry.html.
Update, Mar 29, 2018: You will find the previous posts on these dates: 23/1/2018, 11/12/17, 29/8/17. 5/5/17, 14/1/17, 1/7/16, 6/5/16, 1/7/15, and a total of nearly 3,500 BAD NEWS BITES.
Update Aug 9, 2018: I have found 500 BAD NEWS BITES since Mar 29, 2018. The total now stands at 3,500 in three years. The Aug post has 500 BAD NEWS BITES, bringing the total to 4,000 problems in three years.
Update May 3, 2019: the BAD NEWS BITES starting on Dec 20, 2018 - the eleventh post, brought the total to 4,500 problems. And the 12th post, starting May 3, 2019 brought the total to 5,000 problems by Sept 6, 2019. The Sept. 9, 2019 post brought the list to 5,500, and this is the next, 14th, post.
One final thing, as Mitsubishi owns Cermaq, we need to stop buying Mitsubishi cars as well as their environmentally damaging fish.
***
Here are the BAD NEWS BITES starting Feb 12, 2020. This 14th post will bring the total to 6,000 problems when it hits 500:

152. Blumar CEO is Delusional - he thinks pandemic gives salmon farms to stand apart as sustainable. Boy is he out to lunch: https://www.intrafish.com/aquaculture/blumar-ceo-gerardo-balbontin-coronavirus-must-not-impact-sustainability-commitments/2-1-806853?utm_source=IntraFish%20Aquaculture%20Newsletter&utm_campaign=54861f41b0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_05_15_01_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ec4b681694-54861f41b0-244877629.

"The recent Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture decision to give a 20-year permit to Cooke Aquaculture to raise farmed salmon in Liverpool Bay is both devious and reckless and is likely to result in the raising and selling of virus-infected salmon in the province.
All hearings, public presentations and other activities related to salmon farm expansion have been put on hold due to Covid-19, yet the minister responsible, Keith Colwell, approved Cooke's application for a lease renewal, ignoring both strong public opposition and warnings about the hazards created by this industry."
And: "At one time diseased fish were destroyed and the industry was compensated by the government for their loss. In 2012 Cooke aquaculture received $13 million dollars in compensation for diseased fish which were being raised in Shelburne County. The Canadian Food and Inspection Agency began regulating this industry in 2005 and in 2013 they decided that they could not continue compensating the industry for their losses."

"Operational earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were €5.7 million in January to March, down from €35.8m in Q1 2019, Mowi revealed in its Q1 report. EBIT per kilo was €0.63 (€2.27). The first quarter harvest volume was 9,036 tonnes gutted weight (Q1 2019: 15,787 tonnes). Volumes were negatively impacted by a challenging biology in 2019 continuing into the first quarter of 2020 and lower production, reported Mowi." And: "“The biological situation in our Scottish farming operations has been challenging since mid-2019, with several issues including Pasteurella Skyensis, PD, algal bloom and sea lice. This has coincided with a period of record high sea water temperatures and many winter storms." And, this article covers Mowi's global operations, including Canada west and east.

Article has info on how stocks have plummeted and may go extinct. "Bev Sellars, the former long-time chief of the Xat’sull (Soda Creek) First Nation based in Williams Lake, says that she and many others have been warning FOC since the 1970s that Fraser salmon are in trouble. She’s frustrated that the warnings of Indigenous people, particularly on the upper Fraser, have not been translated into FOC action." As I have been saying: “If there’s any hope for [Fraser] salmon, the fish have to be put front and forward, and everything they need to survive needs to be looked at,” she says. “If things don’t change, salmon are already in trouble, and in a few years, they are going to be gone completely.” Fin Donnelly: "Former federal NDP fisheries critic Fin Donnelly concurs. He is now rallying government, First Nations, NGOs, labour and the private sector to raise $500 million to restore salmon habitat and “climate proof” the entire 21 million-hectare Fraser watershed (more than a quarter of B.C.) over the coming decades."
"MSC concerns with B.C. included deficiencies in monitoring (e.g., knowing how many fish return to their natal streams), unclear hatchery-wild fish interactions, and insufficient information about the fish being caught accidentally when specific salmon are targeted. “This was all really basic, fish management 101 stuff,” says Taylor. “And they couldn’t do it.”"

the carbon footprint for Scottish farmed salmon sold in the EU can be
as low as that of chicken, the footprint jumps when that same salmon is
flown to the U.S. or Asia, according to Friederike Ziegler of the RISE
Research Institutes of Sweden.
Ziegler and her colleagues found
that fresh gutted salmon airfreighted from Norway to Tokyo had a carbon
footprint higher than that of domestic pork and cheese. Given
Scotland’s proximity to Norway, the carbon footprint of flying its
salmon to Asia would be comparable, Ziegler said." And Andreason of Atlantic Sapphire, on-land fish farm, Florida: "Moreover, he said the benefits of his concept outweigh the risks: The carbon footprint of his farmed salmon is half
that of salmon farmed in ocean net-pens. His salmon won’t need
antibiotics or be exposed to sea lice. Nor will they escape and breed
with wild salmon. Their waste is treated within the facility."

In Norway, fish farmers spend 500M Euros per year on lice. "Between 10% and 15% of Norway’s farmed salmon die of stress caused by the sea lice treatment. Just 5% are directly killed by the parasites, says Davidsen." And: "
Up to 30% of adult wild Atlantic salmon exposed to areas full of fish farms die as a result of the lice." And: "Salmon farmers spend between 5 NOK (€0.5) and 8 NOK (€0.8) per kilo of salmon dealing with the sea lice problem, says Davidsen. ‘It should be around 1 NOK (€0.1) to be sustainable,’ he said. And: the global impact: Some authors have estimated their total economic impact at between $1bn and $9.6bn a year globally, says Dr Ariadna Sitjà -Bobadilla, director of Spain’s Instituto de Acuicultura Torre de la Sal (CSIC). And: "Many parasites do not kill fish, but they affect their growth and weaken them, making them more prone to dying from stress or disease." And: "Rising sea and river temperatures are boosting many parasite populations that thrive in and around fish farms, says Dr Sitjà -Bobadilla. Some are also spreading to more northerly regions as a result, she says."
