Mowi's Piscichlamydia & Poxvirus Problems Exposed!

'Case Information' slipped out by the Scottish Government on 16 January 2023 makes for grim reading of shareholders in Norwegian behemoth Mowi.  

 

 

 

 

The report of Piscichlamydia in Mowi's farmed salmon - sourced from a Patogen diagnostic report - is particularly embarrassing for $almafia lobbyist Tavish Scott who on BBC Scotland's 'The Nine' in April 2021 denied millions of Scottish salmon were dying due to infectious diseases such as Chlamydia, Anaemia, Lice Infestation and other problems (as exposed by Netflix's 'Seaspiracy' documentary).

 

 

 

 

Here's details of an inspection by the Fish Health Inspectorate in October 2022 of Mowi's ASC-certified and RSPCA Assured Marulaig Bay salmon farm in South Uist (Case 2022-0481) including over 150,000 mortalities, Amoebic Gill Disease, Proliferative Gill Disease, Tenacibaculum, Branchiomonas, Poxvirus and Piscichlamydia:

Case 2022-0481 included a letter to Mowi from the Scottish Government dated 20 October 2022 pointing out that movement records were "inadequately maintained" at Marulaig Bay (certified as "responsible" by the ASC in June 2022):

The mere mention of the word 'Chlamydia' had $almafia lobbyist Tavish Scott frothing at the mouth when he appeared on BBC Scotland's 'The Nine' show in April 2021 (to debate Netflix's 'Seaspiracy'):

 

 

 

"Let's look at some of the specific claims this documentary [Netflix's Seaspiracy] makes," said BBC Scotland's Martin Geissler in April 2021.  "Don was talking there about the moment he climbs up a ladder and looks into a tank full of dead fish, it's what they call a mortality bin.  It's like a skip of dead fish.  It's not entirely clear in the wording of the documentary what percentage of the fish that are farmed end up in there but they're suggesting it's a lot.  They say they die from lice infestatations, Chlamydia, heart disease, anaemia."

"No, no," interupted $almafia lobbyist Tavish Scott.

"Is that true?" asked the BBC's Martin Geissler.

"No, it's absolutely not true," replied Tavish Scott.  "It's one of the pack of lies that these extreme activists produce all the time, Martin.  I am disappointed the BBC is giving it air time to this pack of lies tonight".

No wonder Mowi wants to keep the public away from their disease-ridden feedlots!

 

 

 

 

And no wonder that Mowi is paying £1.3 million to advertise during ITV's 'Next Level Chef':
