The truth about Mowi's @rspcaassured @ASC_aqua Scottish salmon: "The right eye was absent in fish #1 & exophthalmia was observed on fish #3. Lesions were visible on the flank & head of fish #5 & lice were observed on all fish"https://t.co/t5ivp3Co12

Here's a Fish Health Inspectorate report relating to an inspection in September 2022 of Mowi's ASC-certified and RSPCA Assured salmon farm at Stulaigh off South Uist - published by the Scottish Government on 15 November 2022:

Here's a Fish Health Inspectorate report relating to an inspection in March 2022 for Mowi's RSPCA Assured Kingairloch salmon farm in Loch a Choire/Loch Linnhe (the report was just slipped out by the Scottish Government on 15 November 2022):

No wonder Mowi's PR people do not want the public from viewing such stomach-churning images (Marine Harvest was renamed Mowi in 2019 due to 'negative perception' in the name Marine Harvest).
Mowi: "the risk of people turning away from a healthy food such as salmon as a reaction to irresponsible use of photos for the sole purpose of creating fear in the consumer, is a risk to public health" https://t.co/u9Fk2kOkxz @MowiScotlandLtd @marinescotland @FergusEwingMSP pic.twitter.com/M3AyD3jMTm

Thankfully for consumers, the Scottish Government ignored Mowi's protestations - and legal arguments against disclosure from lawyers representing Norskott Havbruk (Scottish Sea Farms) and The Scottish Salmon Company (now called Bakkafrost Scotland) - and the floodgates have been opened to more and more gruesome photos.
Teaser for tomorrow: which feedlot is this 'responsibly farmed' salmon sourced from?

Edie Bowles @Animallawyersuk said the dossier, compiled by Don Staniford, a critic of salmon farming, indicated “systemic and obvious” pain & suffering that could justify legal action against @scotgov @MairiGougeon @SSPOsays https://t.co/ZuzAis8gEr @SundayTimesScot @ciwf @scotgp pic.twitter.com/RPVIAL3KlS
