Corin Smith of ISSF: "In just a single month, 4.7% of the approx 65 million caged salmon on feedlots in Scotland died prematurely due to disease, parasites or mistreatment. That's around 3 million animals" @rspcaassured @TavishScott @ScotlandSalmon https://t.co/gwk4mWL3IL pic.twitter.com/SPqCeS2Exa

Maths wizard Corin Smith of Inside Scottish Salmon Feedlots has published (10 November 2022) a damning assessment of how the 'Scottish' salmon farming industry present mortality figures - estimating that a staggering three million salmon died inside RSPCA Assured feedlots in the month of September 2022 alone:
Fish Farming Expert reported (9 November 2022):
The figure of 2.8 million dead farmed salmon for September 2022 is sourced from a press release issued by Salmon Scotland (9 November 2022):
"Data @ScotlandSalmon for September shows survival fell to 95.3%; 2.4% down on the past 4-year average of 97.7% & equating to a loss of 2.8 million fish" https://t.co/8UrlImgqDu

How many million @rspcaassured salmon died in 2022 or would disclosure be 'commercially damaging'? pic.twitter.com/Jq0ELuSnsG
Back in 2013, the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (since renamed Salmon Scotland) successfully lobbied against publication of mortality numbers arguing that disclosure 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!
Will @ScottishEPA & @marinescotland force disclosure? @salmon_scottish @rspcaassured pic.twitter.com/fua9nkM6g3
