"This week, @vetinst_no presented its report on fish health. It was a saddening read. What else can you say about a report that establishes 54 million fish die annually in our fish farms" @Arne_O_Holm @HighNorthNews https://t.co/Jb9onIgXF7

Yet Norway published 2020 data detailing 52 million deaths - why the double standard when Norway owns 80% of 'Scottish' salmon? @ScottishEPA pic.twitter.com/S6d45qnsTx
The disclosure of specific mortality numbers on Norwegian salmon farms is particularly interesting since salmon farmers in Scotland - ca. 80% of which is controlled/owned by Norwegian investors including the Norwegian Government - successfully lobbied against disclosure in 2013 arguing that publication of mortality numbers would be 'commercially damaging'.
If you're looking for data on numbers of @rspcaassured dead farmed salmon in Scotland they don't exist - in 2013 @SSPOsays lobbied @ScottishEPA not to disclose mortalities as it was deemed commercially damaging! https://t.co/cDEyvS04dO @strathearnrose @salmon_scottish @scotgp pic.twitter.com/FICRbrpGXJ

Sadly we don't know for sure as the answer is deemed "commercially damaging" by @sspo!
