Salmon Farming Will NOT Last Forever... Here's The REAL Reason Why!

Salmon Farming Will NOT Last Forever... Here's The REAL Reason Why!

Welcome back to Down On The Farm, today on the channel we are going to talk about the ‘Battery-hen farming of the sea’: sustainable alternatives to salmon farming all fishermen should consider! Salmon is consistently one of the most popular kinds of seafood in Australia, but the Tasmanian farmed salmon industry has attracted significant criticism for its continued expansion and alleged environmental impact. In the past, environmental experts on review panels that oversaw industry expansion have quit in protest, telling a Tasmanian parliamentary inquiry that the panels were not truly independent and were obligated to approve expansions. One of those experts also said the planned doubling of salmon production in the coming decade had no basis in sound science.

In April, Richard Flanagan released Toxic, a book detailing the environmental devastation he says is occurring as a consequence of salmon aquaculture, and the state government’s role in allowing it. In late October, it was announced that Brazilian meat-processing giant JBS had received approval for a $500m takeover deal of Tasmanian farmer Huon. The announcement came after months of efforts from environmentalists opposing the bid. JBS in Brazil, which owns JBS Australia, has made headlines in the past for alleged links to illegal deforestation, while its major corporate shareholder J&F has paid hefty fines for bribery in Brazil and the US. The owners of J&F, Jose and Wesley Batista, have also served jail time in Brazil while awaiting trial on charges of alleged insider trading. The case is yet to be resolved. JBS Australia has not been implicated in any wrongdoing. Stay tuned for more about the sustainable alternatives to salmon farming all fishermen should consider.

Salmon Farming will last and I'm gong to be spending billions of dollars on building them. I don't need the ocean to do that. Using the ocean is the cheep way to go but the right way is using a totally enclosed system with fresh water that is cleaned and recycled. I will also grow algae for fish food and omega-3 oil. Salmon farming is great when done the right way.
