Buyers can make a difference with their choices. When it comes to salmon, it’s as simple as this: “All salmon raised in open net-pens threaten wild salmon & coastal ecosystems”https://t.co/TynvzHXMka
SeaChoice issued a press release (6 December 2021):
"This red-rating should shrink the market for B.C. farmed salmon, because reputable retailers won’t want to carry a product that is associated with placing wild salmon at risk from unmitigated pathogens and uncontrolled sea lice outbreaks" @living_oceans @SeaChoice @CermaqCan pic.twitter.com/iqJpvRsQJH
