Report on true costs of salmon cage aquaculture

The report has two aims therefore: • To highlight the unnecessary costs borne by the salmon industry because of poor fish husbandry and welfare and to estimate potential savings from improved farming practices; and • To estimate the social and environmental costs of the salmon industry and to estimate the value to consumers and wider society of reducing those costs by improving social and environm. [...] We control alone has cost the sector over estimate over the period 2013-2019 that the cumulative costs of using 4 marine ingredients in salmon farming is over 8 Read the full report at justeconomics.co.uk/deadloss The false economy of poor farming practices on salmon farms continued is the estimated cost of pollution for the four countries since 2013. [...] The aim of this report is to address the limitations in reporting by estimating the private and external costs of the industry. [...] For each variable, we have estimated the scale of the problem produced by the salmon industry and identified a method of valuing the cost of this impact. [...] The third is the impact on wild salmon and trout stocks.58 A recent study found that the presence of a salmon farm can lead to an average of 12-29% fewer adult wild salmon in the local area.59 Salmon farms create risks to wild fish in several ways: • Hybridisation - This is where escaped farmed salmon breed with the wild populations, reducing their ability to survive in the wild.
