Whistleblower: Bakkafrost Sinking Like a Toxic Feed Barge!

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier this week (27 November 2023), I received an anonymous phone call that a feed barge had sunk at a Bakkafrost salmon farm in Loch Fyne.  The caller did not leave a name or a number but I passed the tip-off onto a few journalists to investigate.
