Tasmanian TV featured global criticism of Cooke Aquaculture (1 November 2022) who were labelled "one of the world's worst salmon farming companies":

Gruesome photos of Cooke's RSPCA Assured 'organic' salmon farming operation in Orkney – published earlier this year by the Scottish Government's Fish Health Inspectorate – lifted the lid on welfare abuse, infectious diseases and mass mortalities:

Organic Scamon: here's what Cooke Aquaculture's salmon from Westray on Orkney look like (as inspected by @marinescotland in May) @The_Orcadian @bbcorkney @OrkneyCouncil
Why does the @SoilAssociation certify salmon farms as 'organic'? @SoilAssocScot @CookeScotland @cookeseafood pic.twitter.com/7FTcnt01zG

In what warped world can these fish be truly marketed as "responsibly farmed" and "responsibly sourced"?

EXPOSED – the rotten underbelly of Cooke Aquaculture – why is @rspcaassured & @SoilAssociation greenwashing welfare abuse? @cookeseafood @CookeScotland @ScotlandSalmon @AnimalOutlook https://t.co/czDvJTEusf @The_Orcadian @OrkneyCouncil @orkneycom pic.twitter.com/Hl92ROBBqM
