Loch Duart's marketing slogan is "unrivalled Scottish salmon" (it used to be "the Sustainable Salmon Company" but that was dropped after @ASA_UK invervention) - 50.3% mortality @rspcaassured in the Sound of Harris beats most of their rivals for sure! @ScotlandSalmon @RSPCAChris pic.twitter.com/YKdu04E3Dg

In what world can a food product which suffers 50%+ mortality be marketed as "responsibly sourced" & "farmed responsibly"?
