Debunking Fish Farm Shibboleths, er, BS About Liberal On-land

Fish farm companies are not happy with the Liberal party saying it would put fish farms on land. Let me debunk for you, some of their communications spin they have been tossing out for the last 50 years.

When fish farms toss out their spin, just roll your eyeballs and put this text in their hands.

See: https://www.fishfarmingexpert.com/article/fury-as-reckless-liberals-pledge-to-end-net-pen-salmon-farming-in-bc/?utm_campaign=newsletter__02_10_2019&utm_source=netflex&utm_medium=email.

Claim: Canada’s fish farmers have slammed a “reckless” election campaign commitment by the country’s Liberal Party to move all salmon farming in British Columbia to closed containment by 2025.

False:

1. Calling protecting the environment with the over the top, Trumpesque, word 'reckless' is the result of having come out of Norway, where their form of neoliberalism in a small country, lead to blowing up at politicians to scare them. Read Kjersti Sandvik's book Under the Surface to get this one straight. I put many posts on her book in 2016. Here is one: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2016/05/under-surface-kjersti-sandvik-glydendal.html. Stop yelling at Canadians!

2. Moving to land is reckless? Well, no. The reality is that fish farms have been moving to land for the last decade. My list includes 300 on-land farms, and has a couple dozen studies on how to go about on-land: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2016/05/152-different-on-land-fish-farm-systems.html. The reality is that the Canadian industry is a decade behind the rest of the world.

Claim: “This is a reckless policy, not grounded in science, and it will threaten good middle-class jobs across Canada,” said Timothy Kennedy, the CAIA’s president and chief executive.

False:

1. The Canadian industry has stagnated and far from having new jobs, it has been getting rid of employees. In BC: 5.3% decline in employment over the past 20 years; in Atlantic Canada: 32% decline in employment since the 80s. Furthermore, based on the automation in Norway, the industry in Canada stands to lose 80% of worker's jobs. See: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2019/07/fish-farm-problems-on-global-scale-inka.html. And, see: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2019/09/too-many-workers-too-few-workers-for.html. In-ocean fish farms threaten Canadian jobs.

2. Contrary to the claim, DFO has been deliberately refusing to use science and evidence, in a regrettable practice, to keep fish farms in the water. See: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2019/06/prv-dfo-doesnt-do-evidence-and-science.html. This post leads you to several more that add up almost 20 cases where DFO refused to use S&E, in order to keep fish farms in the water.

3. In October, 2019, DFO still refuses to test for PRV. See BAD NEWS BITES: DFO Refuses to Test for PRV - lack of science and evidence, DFO won't test for BC strain, allows fish farms to put diseased fish in the ocean. This after losing twice in court for failing to test: https://www.thestar.com/vancouver/2019/10/07/biologist-and-first-nation-devastated-dfo-will-allow-bc-strain-of-virus-in-fish-farms.html?fbclid=IwAR1n4GdU3SHA2M2q_unUDhUsFSCOtdUep3onCruK_37lpmHb7wKp9mqETIs.


Claim: In its response, the CAIA, BC Salmon Farmers Association, Ontario Aquaculture Association, Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers Association, Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland Aquaculture Industry Association, point out that salmon farming is the most environmentally sustainable large-scale farmed animal production in the world and a solution to climate change.

False: There sure are a lot of fish farm lobby groups in Canada, but the claim that fish farming is the most environmentally sound and a solution to climate change is sheer bullshit. Sorry, for calling a spade a spade, but the sewage going into the ocean is enormous and just like car exhaust destroying the atmosphere, fish farms are destroying the oceans with eutrophication.

I have calculated that the low end of conservative sewage damage in BC is $10.4B, and the high end, if you are ready for it, is triple this figure. We, society, pay for this, while fish farms don't pay a nickel. Oh and Norway produces more than 10 times the salmon that BC does so its sewage damage is well over $100B, just for Norway. Daniel Pauly, noted scientist, calls fish farms: floating pig farms. And pig farms have to clean up their shit, which they can do, because they are on land..

Claim: the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch recognised the provincial production as ‘a good alternative’ last year, the only region so recognised in the world,

False: Monterey Bay has been criticized by many other environmental watch dogs for raising BC from the 'avoid' category. In other words, MB has lost credibility.

Claim: “It is a critical solution to the world’s growing demand for low impact, low-carbon emissions, high-protein food supply while alleviating pressure on threatened wild fish stocks.”

False:

1. We have dealt with the sewage side of in-ocean fish farms, and now the shibboleth of taking threats off wild fish stocks. This again is bull. For example, 5.76B ocean fish are killed to bring in one crop of farmed salmon in BC. See: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2016/10/fish-farms-kill-billions-of-wild-fish.html.

2. And fish farms kill off wild salmon, all over the world. See: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2019/04/fish-farms-kill-wild-salmonids-says.html. There are many other such studies in the world, for example, in Ireland, Scotland and here in BC.

Claim: The salmon producers point out that seafood farming provides 26,000 full-time jobs across Canada where they are needed most: in indigenous, remote, and coastal communities.

False:

1. The number of jobs in fish farms is 3205. See:  https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.com/2019/07/fish-farm-problems-on-global-scale-inka.html. So, the fish farm claim is 811% too high.

2. The number of actual jobs in BC is 850, and with the fish farm claim that Indigenous comprise 20% of their workforce, that means 170 jobs. This is peanuts. We are not going to destroy wild salmon for 170 jobs. The rest of the indigenous hate fish farms, that is what the Broughton Archipelago shutting down five farms is all about. That is what shutting down fish farms in Clayoquot Sound is all about.

Claim: While pilot projects to grow salmon to full size in closed containment are happening around the world, this work needs to continue in partnership and without any artificial mandates and timelines,” continues the statement.

False: 

1. Above I have pointed out that the rest of the world is 10 years ahead of Canada. In fact, the Atlantic Sapphire on-land plant in Florida is likely going to put the in-ocean BC out of business - at double the output of BC. You need to wake up.

2. Governments make decisions to protect the environment at their pace. You have to go along with their plans. Too bad, you'll have to operate like everyone else in society. Grow up Donald, er, Mowi.

Claim: “No other nation has proposed this requirement of their salmon production. If implemented, this requirement will only move local, top-quality production to other countries that may not have the high environmental standards Canada already employs.”

False: Denmark has just ended in-ocean fish farms. Ireland is thinking of following Denmark's lead. Finland never allowed fish farms in their ocean, and on the Pacific, BC is the only jurisdiction that allows fish farms. WA, AL, CA and OR don't have fish farms. Argentina just nixed fish farms in Tierra del Fuego. Even Norway has started giving out on-land licences for free to encourage on-land, while in ocean licences have skyrocketed to $32- to $40-million each. BC's licence cost? A measely $5000. We need to charge what Norway does.

See this post for my plan for on-land, written for the BC government and the Wild Salmon Advisory Committee: https://onfishingdcreid.blogspot.com/2018/12/wild-salmon-secretariat-make-your-case.html. If includes a link to the $32- to $40-million licences in Norway.

***

One final thing: as Mitsubishi owns Cermaq, it makes sense to refuse to buy its cars until it takes Cermaq out of the ocean.

Most Popular Posts - Feb 2018

I have listed the most popular posts on Fish Farm News and Science, as in, this blog, since August 2016. They are posted on the first day of the following month, or close to it.

This posts lists the most popular posts on this site during February 2018. There have been some big responses to a number of these posts.

1. New Science Committee? - Don' Bother Dominic: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/new-science-copmmittee-dont-bother.html. Literally thousands of page views.

2. 217 On Land Fish Farm Systems, comprising 20,000 actual fish farms on land around the world: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2016/05/152-different-on-land-fish-farm-systems.html. This is the all time champion posts that receives so many pageviews that it is the most popular of all time.

3. Fish Farm Spin - DC Reid, READ THIS SUMMARY ARTICLE: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/01/fish-farm-spin-dc-reid-read-this.html. Again, literally thousands of page views in February. If you read only one fish farm post this year, make it this one, as I put together the entire overview with more than 30 references, so that you can know that what is said is sound and that you can go to the sources and read and confirm them for yourself.

6. Lice Kill Wild Salmon - a review article: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/lice-kill-wild-salmonids.html. Like Big Tobacco, Big Fish Farms don't seem to know they have a lice problem. But this is a review article from Norway, where they started and provides a good overview to this big problem.

7. Wild BC Salmon Plan - Contact Your MLA: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/wild-bc-salmon-plan-contact-your-mla.html.  Send this link, or copy and paste the article into an email and send it to your MLA, along with John Horgan, Lana Popham, and Andrew Weaver. Again, thousands of page views.

8. BC Salmon Farmers Association - Even More 'Spin': https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/bc-salmon-farmers-association-even-more.html. Get in touch with your MLA and tell him/her that fish farms are very small in BC despite their claiming the opposite. Read the figures for yourself.

9. Big Tobacco, Big Fish Farms - Pretty Much the Same Thing: https://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2018/02/big-toobacco-big-fish-farms-pretty-much.html. My jaw dropped to the floor when this document told me that BC fish farms have used the same PR firm, Hill and Knowlton, that Big Tobacco used, to try and turn around that everyone hates in-ocean fish farms. I think your jaw will do the same.

NDP, Greens Kick Fish Farms Out of BC Oceans, Updated June 16, 2017

Well, finally, some politicians with spine have arrived, meaning they can tell just as well as anyone else that in-ocean fish farms are dinosaur technology and only in the ocean to use it as a free, open sewer.

In fact, the in-ocean industry in BC is in big trouble from the new Atlantic Sapphire plant being built in Florida, that will put out, inside the USA market, more fish than the entire BC industry, with the important point that it will be on land - 90,000 mt.

Of course there are the other issues besides all that sewage: disease, algal blooms, infecting wild fish, killing wild fish, lice, antibiotics, antifouling paints, conflict of interest with governments and science, firing workers, killing seals with bullets to their heads... the list goes on.

And Johan Andreassen, of Atlantic Sapphire hired a COO from Marine Harvest, Villa Organic, itself, so MH gets that on-land is the way of the future, too, losing a senior staffer to on-land.

But now, the BC Greens and NDP, who will shift the Liberals aside shortly in a non-confidence vote, campaigned on a platform that included taking fish farms out of the water.

See: http://www.farmfreshsalmon.org/2017-provincial-general-election-may-9-2017.

Here's what the Port Hardy NDP winner, Claire Trevena, had to say:

'“We will remove fish farms, we are committed to that… and make sure that these territories and the North Island are clear of fish farms.”

In a phone interview with The North Island Gazette this week, Trevena said her position and the position of her party on this issue has not changed. She said a transition to closed containment will eventually mean the closure of the open-sea farms.

'“A leads to B,” said Trevena. “But we haven’t got a timeline for it.”

Trevena also said the NDP would offer incentives for companies to move inland.'

I'd say with our $5,000 licences compared with the auction price in Norway of $9- to $12-million, that we are subsidizing them plenty already. Let them pay us that $9- to $12-million or let them get out of the water or go back to Norway, where their own country has refused entry to more farms in the water, and giving out free licences for on land.

Now, back to BC: here is the national Green policy: 'Implement measures to quickly phase out open-ocean net-cage fish farms and ensure that this aquaculture industry does not continue to harm wild fisheries;'

See: https://www.greenparty.ca/en/policy/vision-green/economy/fisheries. 

Here is the BC Green policy: '[The party] would phase out coastal open net-pen finfish aquaculture along salmon migratory routes. The areas affected cover the entire east coast of Vancouver Island, and the west coast of the mainland from the Fraser River north to the Broughton Archipelago.

The Green Party would provide transition funding to processing plants to find alternative seafood sources and to grow domestic and international seafood markets. Workers from closing fish farms would be provided retraining and job matching. 

“The dramatic decline of BC’s wild salmon began when fish farms were introduced. Wild salmon cannot be saved until open net fish farms are removed from migration routes, because of their deadly role in spreading disease and parasites,” [Sterk said.]'

And other jurisdictions are doing the same. In the USA, California, Oregon and Alaska all forbid fish farms in their waters. The movement for the same in Washington State is catching on, to move fish farms out of the ocean. (Google: Our Sound Our Salmon) Only BC would be left on the entire Pacific Ocean NA allowing the degradation of in-ocean fish farms.

Fortunately the Green/NDP coalition will put fish farms on land, as well.

And the movement is not limited to BC. Finland has 40% fewer fish farms than its peak in 1991. Denmark has 50% of its industry on land, too. And recently, Tasmania actually banned fish farms in Okehampton Bay, beyond the one currently allowed.

The point is that around the world no one wants in ocean fish farms anymore, and most people won't eat the fish once they understand its vast environmental degradation.

So Dominc Leblanc, DFO Minister, if no one in the world wants in-ocean fish farms, why do you? Put a farm of 600,000 Atlantic salmon in the Rideau Canal right beside the Parliament Buildings and then a mega one of 2,000,000 in the Ottawa River just below the Hill and you will understand pretty quickly why no one wants them, once their sewage and rotting fish have been around in the sun for awhile.

Take a look at all the groups/orgs and ENGOs around the world that are against in-ocean fish farms. There is only one way forward, the tipping point came two summers ago with Norway's giving out on-land licences for free.

Wild Fish Conservancy - Great Source of Information

The Wild Fish Conservancy, Duvall, WA that does work on behalf of wild fish in the Pacific North West, has an impressive list of fish farm articles on the problems.

Their list is worth a look by anyone interested in the perils associated with in-ocean fish farms.

See: http://wildfishconservancy.org/search?SearchableText=fish+farms.

There are almost 80 papers, science articles, reports and libraries of information on the down sides of in-ocean fish farms.

Go read up. Here is an article on the decline of wild salmon in Clayoquot Sound and the lice on wild smolts: http://wildfishconservancy.org/projects/clayoquot-sound-b.c.-net-pen-study/Clayoquotfactsheet.pdf/at_download/file. There are 22 fish farms in Clayquot Sound.

The second largest sockeye run on the Island, the Kennedy, declined in the '90s and has never come back. There are only 501 chinook in a half dozen streams in the Sound - this is DFO's estimate. That is extinction levels.

Here is what the report says on chinook:

"Chinook salmon fry were scarce in Clayoquot Sound in 2009—a total of 550 fry were collected across sampling sites and seasons. While the data are sparse, what they suggest is compelling. Chinook fry, like chum, experienced higher infection rates (up to 60% infected) in inlets with many farms than those with fewer (up to 5% infected) though sample sizes were very small. In 2010, WFC plans to actively target chinook to develop a more robust data set on this important species."

Go look at the report's graph on falling chinook numbers.

Here is a library of reports: http://wildfishconservancy.org/resources/science-library/science-library.

Nordlaks - Fish Farm Ship Mega-Sewage Problem - Norway, Updated Dec 5, 2015

There is something odd about Norwegians. They can divest from oil, but they can't seem to understand that polluting the ocean with fish farm sewage is not on for the rest of the world.

The rest of the world is in Paris trying to come to some agreement on solving climate change for the entire planet because our lives depend upon it. But Norway just keeps on pumping out more and more sewage into the world's oceans, reducing our ocean's ability to deal with methane, carbon, greater eutrophication, nitrogen and phosphorous, among other pollutants.

Nordlaks is bringing on stream a ship to ride the open sea, releasing 330% more pollution than the typical in-ocean farm of 600,000 fish - Nordlaks ship will hold 2 Million fish - and it thinks this is sustainability. Their plan should be on the negotiation table in Paris, and eliminated before they get finished building the ships.

Instead of closed containment on land, they propose more than tripling the sewage load from fish farms. Hard to understand. Here is a link: https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1880129387856188740#editor/target=post;postID=4171086541691897566;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname.

And here is a quote from the article:

"One Havfarm will be able to contain 10,000 tons of salmon – over 2 million fish. For comparison, the Nordlaks salmon slaughterhouse at Børøya produces 70,000 tons a year. The facilities will be able to withstand a significant wave height of ten metres, and can be raised by four metres during inclement weather. The ocean farm itself will extend ten metres below sea level. The farm will be constructed as a steel frame for six “cages” measuring 50 by 50 metres on the surface, with aquaculture nets going to a depth of 60 metres."

And:

"Because steel louse skirts at a depth of ten metres will make sea lice history. When the Havfarm lays at anchor, the spreading area for waste products will be 27 times larger than it would be for ordinary pens, a massive 472,000 square metres. To the extent lice may appear on the salmon, the farm can facilitate the manual removal of sea lice. This also provides a totally chemical-free production. The use of chemicals to remove lice has been a much-debated environmental issue, and has been a major expense for the industry as well. This will change the direction of the aquaculture industry, which has been struggling due to such issues."

For those who want to look at what the rest of the world is doing, this link has 122 on-land fish farm systems on it, comprising more than 10,000 actual farms on land around the world: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/key-document-34-mostly-on-land-closed.html.

Norway is now the old-tech dinosaur, and sadly for the rest of the planet, is watching the rest of the world move on while it ramps up its climate change fish farms. This should not happen.

Finally, each ship will cost 600 - 700 Million NOK, at Dec 4 exchange rate of .16 K/$,  is $96- to $112-million Canadian. When you consider that the Kuterra, BC on-land plant cost $7.6 Million, that means each ship that could be avoided, would result in 12.6 to 14.7 on-land fish farms in BC, Canada, or for the three almost half of the entire operating in-ocean fish farms in BC, i.e., 37.8 to 44.1, but on-land where the world wants sewage dealt with, not adding to climate change.

We need Norwegians on the side of getting rid of climate change, not making it worse. 

This just in from Huffington Post: 'While marches in the rest of the world largely targeted the fossil fuel industry, in B.C., salmon farming is viewed as our own version of the tar sands, as despised as big oil.'

See: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/jeff-matthews/bc-salmon-farming_b_8695522.html?utm_source=Watershed+Watch+Email+List&utm_campaign=4a3d3d0d35-Salmon_News_Dec_2_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_405944b1b5-4a3d3d0d35-166907249. 

As despised as big oil, says it all. Norway needs to wake up and get the climate change fish farms out of the water.

This just in: Monasanto is being taken to court for crimes against humanity for its role in climate change. I wonder whether fish farms will be charged during the Paris climate change negotiations for their role in polluting the ocean?.

Index to Articles on www.fishfarmnews.blogspot.com, Also Our Tax Money for Diseased Dead Fish - Updated Sept 25, 2015

If you are looking for the index to this site, it is in October 2014: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/10/key-document-index-to.html.

And here is some information from that post: October 2014. "Thanks to readers from around the world who are concerned about the environmental damage from in-ocean fish farms, this www.fishfarmnews.blogspot.com site has become a global success. Without any advertising or driving of page views, it has received 85,000 page views in the three years since being set up. And the rate is growing. In the coming year, it looks like an additional 50,000 or 60% more page views, in one year alone.

The purpose of the site has always been to summarize science, some 20,000 pages now and global fish farm press. I often read 100 pages of such news per week to aid writing these posts."

Well, it is only September 2015, and the page views have grown almost 50,000 more. I read four global fish farm newsletters every day, and continue finding research to put on this site. I am paid no money for doing this. My only purpose is to stand for wild Pacific salmon, and get fish farms out of our ocean.

For example, I am following today, Sept 8, 2015 a scary story on fish farm myobacteriosis in Tasmania; scary because it infects humans, too; Marine Harvest stealing fresh water in Ireland to kill AGD, a deadly gill disease, in its saltwater pens; Marks & Spencer taking heat for buying Scotland fish farm fish from the farm that killed the most sea lions in 2013 and 2014; and, fish farm lice are out of control in Norway. There are dozens of stories about the environmentally damaging fish farm industry around the world every single day.

Do note: I will add another index for the end of 2014 and 2015 in December 2015. As before, my post on the now 95 on-land fish farms systems I have found, comprising more than 10,000 actual on-land farms, is proof that we do not need fish farms fouling our oceans anymore and they should be on land. Scroll the blog list to the right and it is filed as a Key Document on January 15, 2012.

Taxpayers Pay Big Money for Diseased Dead Fish Farm Fish

Many people, including staff at DFO, are stunned to find out that we taxpayers pay for diseased, dead fish farm fish to multinational, multi-billion dollar corporations like Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood. My posts on these subjects are being looked at by hundreds of people right now, so I will give you them here together. Here is the best document to look at first: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/02/key-document-taxpayer-money-for.html. Here is another: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2013/12/mainstream-slaughtered-fish-money.html. Here is a third: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2014/01/dey-document-slaughter-payments-to-fish.html.

                                                          ***

NOTE: Here is a site so that you can follow the price per kilogram of farmed fish on world markets. The figures are the Norway export price in US dollars: http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=fish.

Norwegian Fish Farms at the Tipping Point

My list of on-land fish farms is now at 85 different systems, comprising more than 10,000 actual, on-land fish farms around the globe right now. See: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2012/01/key-document-34-mostly-on-land-closed.html.

But the CEO of Marine Harvest, Alf Aarskog says that it just isn’t possible to farm fish on land. Well, my list says he’s wrong and Kjell Bjordal, a former EWOS feed giant executive, says he is too.

Bjordal has some good arguments. The cost of a licence/concession is listed at NOK 65 million or $10.4 Million Canadian. By comparison, we only charge $5,000 in BC, and at 130 licences, we should be charging $1.352 Billion. Also by comparison, there is zero cost for a licence on-land in Norway, so that’s a huge difference.

Then there is the difference that fish are raised faster on land because you can control the photo-period of the day and keep the water temperature the same, rather than seasonal fluctuations, and, in addition to adding a current that results in higher concentration of fish in the RAS system, fish are grown to market size in a little over half the time of in-ocean farms.

Well run recirculating systems are low on water consumption because it is reused, have no diseases, have no lice, result in no wild salmonid deaths, no sea lions are shot, and the huge sewage load is eliminated. Waste is used to produce energy, methane and aquaponics, resulting in much cheaper electricity costs than claimed by detractors, and so on.

Bjordal points out that the costs of raising salmon in saltwater is rising at a steep rate of 55% from 2004 to 2014 driven by sanitary problems (a polite way of saying fish sewage, uneaten food, lice problems and diseases).

The cost of producing a kilo of salmon in ocean will have risen from 28NOK/kg in 2014 to, by 2020, 38 NOK/kg. That’s 44 NOK in five years. In other words, on land salmon will be cost competitive with in-ocean – even without the other factors. No one will buy in-ocean fish once they understand the environmental degradation of in-ocean feed lots.

There is also the cost of equipment, in-ocean at $10M NOK, but with the 75% subsidization for on-land systems in the EU, the result is a net $17M NOK for capital. And there are even more cost savings to be had.

Bjorsdal points out that the investment for in-ocean for the same production is actually $75M NOK (65 + 10M = 75), so on land is cheap cheap.

Other savings include yield per area, for example, 4 square metres can produce a metric tonne of salmon on-land. That means 1.2M metric tonnes can be produced on just 4.8 square kms of buildings. By comparison, the BC industry puts out only 83,000 metric tonnes from its in-ocean farms. BC could really use this on land and make more money and employ more people.

But, Bjordal points out, there is still another significant issue that is going to tip markets away from Norway’s polluting in ocean fish: cost, insurance and freight cost to ship salmon to market. The CIF in Oslo is 30NOK/kg; in Miami it is 45; Tokyo is 53.

What does this mean? It means that a big company that puts a big plant in a big city on land can sew up the salmon market for good. The margin in Tokyo is 23NOK/kg if the company can put product on the market for the Oslo CIF of 30. That’s a lot of room to work with.

And what does that room mean? It means that Norway cannot grow its fish and market unless it gets rid of the ‘sanitary’ issue, according to Bjordal. And, those costs are associated with in-ocean fish farming. And that also means weakening its laws, which is contrary to the public view of Norwegians, meaning: we are clean and wholesome, we have reduced our oil industry dramatically, guess it’s time for fish farming.

That means that Norway has to reduce its cost and lead in the on-land industry if it wants to continue as the world leader in salmon, Bjorsdal said. And that includes being there with on-land system to take control of the New York or Singapore, or Sao Paulo, or, etc. market with food right in the city on land.

Right now, at the tipping point, it looks like Aarskog and Marine Harvest are asleep at the switches.

KEY Document - 442 Fish Farm News Bites, Updated May 6, 2016

This article will be used for quick news bites on fish farm damage to environments and related seafood issues around the world. This note will be updated and you should check back from time to time. I think you will be taken aback by the contents. I am.

In one mouthful, the problems include: boom bust industry, billions made and lost, crisis in lice and disease, 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 seals and sea lions – more than 12,000 in BC so far, slavery, unpaid labour, taxpayers paying millions for diseased, dead fish – $135 Million in Canada, duelling 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.

Here is a good post on Alexandra Morton's site regarding quite gross environmental damage in Norway where the same companies, Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood that operate in BC, come from. Fraud, illegal chemicals, jail sentences, lice, polluted wild fish stocks.

Now, the news bites:

"Decision granting 3,500t biomass over 24 month period welcomed, but the decision is just the first, of a targeted 150 this year, to come out of a painfully slow approval process." Fish farms around the world go through a cycle of saying the laws are strict and great, then the laws prevent progress and then not enough new farms. It is a constant struggle, part of their communications spin..

While the numbers are declining, (459 to 204), in Canada, scientists point out that the decline happens because seals have 10 km territories, so when the numbers go down, it doesn't mean the seals have moved on. What it means is that they are being made extinct in their range. See: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/outrage-hundreds-seals-secretly-slaughtered-5469847.

61. Fish Farm Spin. Skuna Bay that invented the spin that it is truly sustainable - no in-ocean fish farm is sustainable - has convinced a gullible US Open Tennis tournament to buy some of its fish. You will recall that last year, Skuna Bay was done for killing, get this, 65 sea lions in its nets. Shame on the US Open for not doing its homework.

52. Sea Lice are Biggest Problem in Fish Farms. Despite what fish farms like to claim around the world, sea lice are their worst problem. See this for Norway where they are from: http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/26252/aqua-nor-2015-the-future-of-norwegian-salmon/.

51. Government in Conflict of Interest with Fish Farms. All around the world governments get in conflicts of interest by supporting fish farms. An Australian senator is calls on the Tasmanian state government to take away the power to regulate the salmon industry from its environment department, reports. Senator Lisa Singh said the same government bureaucracy being both "regulator and proponent" of the industry could lead to a conflict of interest.. Her call came as the Greens slammed a fish farming Senate committee report as "weak" and pushed for oversight of the industry to be moved to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

50. Fish Farm Awards are Bogus. The MSC has certified the Antarctic krill fishery. This is fishing down the food chain almost all the way to algae and in a pristine area of the world where krill feed the food chain. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/08/21/antarctic-krill-fishery-nabs-msc-stamp/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=a3616152db-Americas_briefing_Aug_21_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-a3616152db-92426209. And look back to this post on this site for a scathing commentary from industry media on the MSCs: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2015/06/yet-another-corrupt-fish-farm-award.html.

46. Fish Farms Ruthless Against their own Operations in Different Countries. During summer lull, Americans turn to 'purportedly higher quality' Norwegian farmed salmon. Fish farms create images, regardless of their truth, and in this case it affects their own operations in BC Canada and Chile to push more Norwegian fish into the USA. BC puts 85% of its product into the States from the main companies, Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood, BC.

44. Fish Farm Industry Ruthless and Cutthroat. Marine Harvest that acquired EWOS, the feed giant, jettisoned it and Cargill bought it. Now, in the UK, Marine Harvest is opening its own feed production facility. Growing processing capacity in UK means only the most efficient will survive. "With new UK Marine Harvest plant ramping up and second Morrisons plant soon to come online, overcapacity amid no volume growth spells tough times for retail processors." And, of course, this is in addition to the processers issues with respect to Young/Cargill/Sainbury. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/08/19/processing-capacity-in-uk-means-only-the-most-efficient-will-survive/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=208592960d-Europe_briefing_Aug_19_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-208592960d-92426209.

42. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farm Industry. Cargill buys feed giant EWOS for 1.35 billion Euros. And formerly, EWOS was owned by Marine Harvest who had divested itself of EWOS. som e time ago.

41. Fish Farms Cost Taxpayers Money - for Jobs. See item 12 below for background. After throwing workers out of jobs because of takeovers in processing: Young’s will create more than 200 jobs after securing £1.35M of investment, following a recent announcement to ditch more than 900 jobs when it lost a major contract to supply Sainsbury in June. 

The investment came from the UK Regional Growth Fund and would see the creation of 200 jobs at the Findus­ owned company’s seafood plants in Grimsby: http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/986627/78543/UK-Steps-in-to-Save-450-jobs-at-Youngs-Means-Two-Processing-Plants-Will-Stay-Open-in-Grimsby.

37. Boom Bust Cycle in Fish Farms. Marine Harvest, Norway, the boom side was the high prices for large salmon. Now, the bust part of the cycle: after six consecutive weeks of gains, prices for Norwegian farmed salmon take a plunge, with the formerly-soaring large salmon facing the biggest drop.

31. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farms and Industry. Chilean salmon exports drop 21.6% in value in first half of 2015, some $1.81 billion. This is almost as bad as the ISA disease crisis that wiped out more than $2 billion worth of fish, some quarter of a billion dead fish in 2008, and 13,000 jobs..  (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/08/06/chilean-salmon-exports-drop-21-6-in-value/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=2081838181-Salmon_roundup_Aug_07_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-2081838181-92426209

26. Fish farms are a boom/bust industry. Aug 8 Aim of deal between salmon importer Direct Ocean and shrimp and crab supplier Freshpack is not driven by synergies on sales side, but by scaling up for securing financing.

25. Farmed fish banned from Port Moody public events. Port Moody council has been against farmed fish for its high environmental damage for many years and finally banned the product recently. See: http://www.thenownews.com/news/port-moody-says-no-to-farmed-salmon-1.2022061

24. Fish farms fish down the ocean food chain to feed carnvore fish. Because most of the world's forage fish have been caught, many billions of tonnes for fish farms, fish farms are fishing down the food chain all the way to krill, particularly in the Antarctic. What's lower: algae? The answer is to raise vegetarian fish on land, like tilapia. See: (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/antarctic-krill-fishery-under-pressure-from-growing-commercial-interest/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=8573008d4e-Americas_briefing_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-8573008d4e-92426209)

23. Fish farms abuse and kill sea lions. July 17, 2015. This happens all over the world and one would think that PETA would have come down hard on salmon farms over the decades. The current case is farm workers abusing and killing sea lions in Chile. These sentient creatures weight up to a ton. See: http://www.intrafish.com/news/article1416083.ece. See also: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/sernapesca-files-formal-complaint-over-salmon-farm-workers-animal-abuse/.

22. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farming.Close on the heels of the negatives below, now there is a boom suggestion in Norway. It ignores the huge environmental cost of increasing production by 5 times, meaning 500% in the next several decades. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/norway-can-up-exports-six-fold-over-next-35-years/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=7b553aef31-Salmon_roundup_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-7b553aef31-92426209.

21. Fish farms result in negative employment growth, by wiping out jobs in other sectors. Abalone sector in Tasmania shows job losses resulting from fish farms, protest to government. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-108/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209.

20. Residents all over the world overwhelmingly reject fish farms, while governments are in conflict with fish farms. NS trout farm gets licence renewal despite strong local opposition. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-109/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209

19. Boom Bust Cycle - even worse for Marine Harvest. Q2 losses of 42% on Chile farms nose dive. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/marine-harvest-q2-earnings-expected-to-dive-on-chilean-losses/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209.

18. From the Strictest laws in the world to the weakest. Fish farms like to say, in individual jurisdictions, that they operate under the strictest laws in the world, and then behind the scenes lobby for the weakest laws, and that gives them leverage in other countries to first say they are the strictest, to the public, then lobby for weaker laws because they’ll have to move if it doesn’t happen. That is what is happening in Canada right now. See the following article for the communications spin that they like to use, which has been rebutted in many posts on this blog:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983063/77499/Canada-Fish-Farmers-Assoc-Says-Revamped-Fish-Farming-Regs-Will-Improve-Aquaculture-Practices.

17. Boom Bust Cycle - Gray Aqua in NF, in receivership in 2014 and in and out of problems, posts a boom harvest of 4.4 M pounds of salmon from Indian Tea Point in Facheau Bay. See: http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983057/77494/Gray-Aquas-Projected-4-point-4-Million-Pound-Atlantic-Salmon-Harvest-is-Largest-Ever-in-Newfoundland.

16. Boom Bust Cycle – Marine Harvest Down in Q2. Marine Harvest produced only 64 tons in Norway; Scotland – 12; Canada 12. Rest of world only 3 tons. See: http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983078/77501/Marine-Harvest-Posts-Sharply-Lower-Q2-Earnings-with-Production-Also-Down-8-percent-

15. Grieg Seafood losing money in Q2. Grieg has lost money on its operations in Norway, Scotland and BC Canada.because their costs were too high. In Norway, the problem was disease. See: http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/982913/77450/Salmon-Production-Issues-High-Costs-Plague-Grieg-Seafoods-Q2-Performance.

14. Fish farms to run out of fish meal for food. Fish farms have been complicit in running down fish meal supplies around the world, among other issues like Asia continuing to fish small fish that should feed third world humans, and supplies will run out. Lux Research predicts demand will exceed supply as early as 2016. Alternatives include, chicken feathers, animal feces, as well as plant based proteins that have high environmental damage themselves, such as moving third world residents off rain forest, cutting an d burning it down and planting GMO soybeans, for instance. And feed companies are fishing down the bottom of the foodchain in Antarctica, fishing krill for feed. See:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/982675/77371/Aquacultures-Explosive-Growth-Means-Farmers-Are-About-to-Run-Out-of-Fish-Food.

13. Fish Farms are a boom bust industry and full of sewage pollution. Tasmania fish farms want to expand to 100 new sites just as citizens are complaining deeply about the pollution they cause in the ocean, and also inland fresh waterways. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/13/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-87/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=713066b029-Americas_briefing_Jul_13_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-713066b029-92426209.

12. Fish Farm takeovers result in lower employment.. The Tesco, Marine Harvest, Salmar Sainsbury and so on story looks to result in the loss of almost 1000 worker jobs at Young's Scottish Fraserburgh and Spey Valley sites. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/09/youngs-starts-consultation-which-may-see-fraserburgh-site-close/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=cf7ad559b0-Europe_briefing_Jul_10_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-cf7ad559b0-92426209.

11. Fish farm in-fighting on a multi-national level. Tesco switches salmon business to Salmar, Marine Harvest rival, responding to MH move to Sainsbury in the UK. See:  http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/09/tesco-ups-salmar-share-of-salmon-contract-at-expense-of-marine-harvest/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=e284caff9b-Americas_briefing_Jul_09_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-e284caff9b-92426209

10. The cartel nature of fish farm companies to grow bigger. Produs and Produs Aqua are Alltech's ninth and tenth company acquisition. See: http://www.thefishsite.com/fishnews/26001/alltech-acquires-norwegian-aquaculture-company/.

9. Fish farms kill seals worldwide. Ruling: Scotland fish farms to be 'named and shamed' that 'slaughter' protected seals and sea lions. Campaigners call for boycott of buying farmed salmon. See: http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/salmon-farms-that-slaughter-protected-seals-to-be-named-and-shamed-after-landmark-ruling-10373185.html. This problem can be solved by putting fish farms on land. Most readers will remember that in BC, Skuna Bay killed 65 seals in its nets two years ago and was fined $100,000 for killing them.

8. Boom, bust and carnivorous takeover nature of fish farming on the global scale. Fish farms are not about jobs and revenues.Santa Monica completes largest acquisition in its history. SM gloms American Fish and Seafood, Chesapeake Fish, LA Fish Company and Cactus Cove all at the same time. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/06/santa-monica-completes-largest-acquisition-in-its-history/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=74f3db7776.

7. Two more execs jump ship at Young's Fraserburgh plan, UK. The door revolves and out goes the self interested exec. And why are they doing this? The high stakes takeovers: Marine Harvest nabbed the Sainsbury contract, giving the loss to Youngs who is in bad shape now. In other words, the boom bust nature of fish farms.

6. Fish  farm executives jump ship whenever they feel like it.  Fish farming is a boom bust industry with personal interest and shareholders being the only bottom line. Four Marine Harvest execs break ranks and escape to Singapore to bring barramundi to the USA.

76. Fish Farms Always Expanding, Criticizing Country of Origin. One farm was just authorized in Ireland, but industry wants more. "Decision granting 3,500t biomass over 24 month period welcomed, but the decision is just the first, of a targeted 150 this year, to come out of a painfully slow approval process." Fish farms around the world go through a cycle of saying the laws are strict and great, then the laws prevent progress and then not enough new farms. It is a constant struggle, part of their communications spin..

While the numbers are declining, (459 to 204), in Canada, scientists point out that the decline happens because seals have 10 km territories, so when the numbers go down, it doesn't mean the seals have moved on. What it means is that they are being made extinct in their range. See: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/outrage-hundreds-seals-secretly-slaughtered-5469847.

61. Fish Farm Spin. Skuna Bay that invented the spin that it is truly sustainable - no in-ocean fish farm is sustainable - has convinced a gullible US Open Tennis tournament to buy some of its fish. You will recall that last year, Skuna Bay was done for killing, get this, 65 sea lions in its nets. Shame on the US Open for not doing its homework.

51. Government in Conflict of Interest with Fish Farms. All around the world governments get in conflicts of interest by supporting fish farms. An Australian senator is calls on the Tasmanian state government to take away the power to regulate the salmon industry from its environment department, reports. Senator Lisa Singh said the same government bureaucracy being both "regulator and proponent" of the industry could lead to a conflict of interest.. Her call came as the Greens slammed a fish farming Senate committee report as "weak" and pushed for oversight of the industry to be moved to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).

46. Fish Farms Ruthless Against their own Operations in Different Countries. During summer lull, Americans turn to 'purportedly higher quality' Norwegian farmed salmon. Fish farms create images, regardless of their truth, and in this case it affects their own operations in BC Canada and Chile to push more Norwegian fish into the USA. BC puts 85% of its product into the States from the main companies, Marine Harvest, Cermaq and Grieg Seafood, BC.

Now, in the UK, Marine Harvest is opening its own feed production facility. Growing processing capacity in UK means only the most efficient will survive. "With new UK Marine Harvest plant ramping up and second Morrisons plant soon to come online, overcapacity amid no volume growth spells tough times for retail processors." And, of course, this is in addition to the processers issues with respect to Young/Cargill/Sainbury.

37. Boom Bust Cycle in Fish Farms. Marine Harvest, Norway, the boom side was the high prices for large salmon. Now, the bust part of the cycle: after six consecutive weeks of gains, prices for Norwegian farmed salmon take a plunge, with the formerly-soaring large salmon facing the biggest drop.

31. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farms and Industry. Chilean salmon exports drop 21.6% in value in first half of 2015, some $1.81 billion. This is almost as bad as the ISA disease crisis that wiped out more than $2 billion worth of fish, some quarter of a billion dead fish in 2008, and 13,000 jobs..  (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/08/06/chilean-salmon-exports-drop-21-6-in-value/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=2081838181-Salmon_roundup_Aug_07_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-2081838181-92426209

24. Fish farms fish down the ocean food chain to feed carnvore fish. Because most of the world's forage fish have been caught, many billions of tonnes for fish farms, fish farms are fishing down the food chain all the way to krill, particularly in the Antarctic. What's lower: algae? The answer is to raise vegetarian fish on land, like tilapia. See: (http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/antarctic-krill-fishery-under-pressure-from-growing-commercial-interest/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=8573008d4e-Americas_briefing_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-8573008d4e-92426209)

23. Fish farms abuse and kill sea lions. July 17, 2015. This happens all over the world and one would think that PETA would have come down hard on salmon farms over the decades. The current case is farm workers abusing and killing sea lions in Chile. These sentient creatures weight up to a ton. See: http://www.intrafish.com/news/article1416083.ece. See also: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/sernapesca-files-formal-complaint-over-salmon-farm-workers-animal-abuse/.

22. Boom Bust Nature of Fish Farming.Close on the heels of the negatives below, now there is a boom suggestion in Norway. It ignores the huge environmental cost of increasing production by 5 times, meaning 500% in the next several decades. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/17/norway-can-up-exports-six-fold-over-next-35-years/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=7b553aef31-Salmon_roundup_Jul_17_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-7b553aef31-92426209.

21. Fish farms result in negative employment growth, by wiping out jobs in other sectors. Abalone sector in Tasmania shows job losses resulting from fish farms, protest to government. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-108/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209.

20. Residents all over the world overwhelmingly reject fish farms, while governments are in conflict with fish farms. NS trout farm gets licence renewal despite strong local opposition. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-109/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209

See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/16/marine-harvest-q2-earnings-expected-to-dive-on-chilean-losses/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=697c70edfe-Americas_briefing_Jul_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-697c70edfe-92426209.

18. From the Strictest laws in the world to the weakest. Fish farms like to say, in individual jurisdictions, that they operate under the strictest laws in the world, and then behind the scenes lobby for the weakest laws, and that gives them leverage in other countries to first say they are the strictest, to the public, then lobby for weaker laws because they’ll have to move if it doesn’t happen. That is what is happening in Canada right now. See the following article for the communications spin that they like to use, which has been rebutted in many posts on this blog:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/983063/77499/Canada-Fish-Farmers-Assoc-Says-Revamped-Fish-Farming-Regs-Will-Improve-Aquaculture-Practices.

17. Boom Bust Cycle - Gray Aqua in NF, in receivership in 2014 and in and out of problems, posts a boom harvest of 4.4 M pounds of salmon from Indian Tea Point in Facheau Bay.

15. Grieg Seafood losing money in Q2. Grieg has lost money on its operations in Norway, Scotland and BC Canada.because their costs were too high. In Norway, the problem was disease. See: http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/982913/77450/Salmon-Production-Issues-High-Costs-Plague-Grieg-Seafoods-Q2-Performance.

14. Fish farms to run out of fish meal for food. Fish farms have been complicit in running down fish meal supplies around the world, among other issues like Asia continuing to fish small fish that should feed third world humans, and supplies will run out. Lux Research predicts demand will exceed supply as early as 2016. Alternatives include, chicken feathers, animal feces, as well as plant based proteins that have high environmental damage themselves, such as moving third world residents off rain forest, cutting an d burning it down and planting GMO soybeans, for instance. And feed companies are fishing down the bottom of the foodchain in Antarctica, fishing krill for feed. See:  http://www.seafoodnews.com/Story/982675/77371/Aquacultures-Explosive-Growth-Means-Farmers-Are-About-to-Run-Out-of-Fish-Food.

13. Fish Farms are a boom bust industry and full of sewage pollution. Tasmania fish farms want to expand to 100 new sites just as citizens are complaining deeply about the pollution they cause in the ocean, and also inland fresh waterways. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/13/chinese-aquaculture-company-plans-investment-in-eastern-russia-2-87/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=713066b029-Americas_briefing_Jul_13_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-713066b029-92426209.

12. Fish Farm takeovers result in lower employment.. The Tesco, Marine Harvest, Salmar Sainsbury and so on story looks to result in the loss of almost 1000 worker jobs at Young's Scottish Fraserburgh and Spey Valley sites. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/09/youngs-starts-consultation-which-may-see-fraserburgh-site-close/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=cf7ad559b0-Europe_briefing_Jul_10_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_feb55e2e23-cf7ad559b0-92426209.

11. Fish farm in-fighting on a multi-national level. Tesco switches salmon business to Salmar, Marine Harvest rival, responding to MH move to Sainsbury in the UK.

9. Fish farms kill seals worldwide. Ruling: Scotland fish farms to be 'named and shamed' that 'slaughter' protected seals and sea lions. Campaigners call for boycott of buying farmed salmon. See: http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/salmon-farms-that-slaughter-protected-seals-to-be-named-and-shamed-after-landmark-ruling-10373185.html. This problem can be solved by putting fish farms on land. Most readers will remember that in BC, Skuna Bay killed 65 seals in its nets two years ago and was fined $100,000 for killing them.

8. Boom, bust and carnivorous takeover nature of fish farming on the global scale. Fish farms are not about jobs and revenues.Santa Monica completes largest acquisition in its history. SM gloms American Fish and Seafood, Chesapeake Fish, LA Fish Company and Cactus Cove all at the same time. See: http://www.undercurrentnews.com/2015/07/06/santa-monica-completes-largest-acquisition-in-its-history/?utm_source=Undercurrent+News+Alerts&utm_campaign=74f3db7776.

7. Two more execs jump ship at Young's Fraserburgh plan, UK. The door revolves and out goes the self interested exec. And why are they doing this? The high stakes takeovers: Marine Harvest nabbed the Sainsbury contract, giving the loss to Youngs who is in bad shape now. In other words, the boom bust nature of fish farms.
