Scottish Salmon Watch reported in November 2020:
Meet Norway's Salmafia who control the majority of 'Scottish' salmon farming. Follow the Salmoney to reveal the Norwegian Salmonopoly! @MowiScotlandLtd @scotseafarms @LeroySeafood @GriegShetland @salmon_scottish @Folketrygdfond @WeAreBenchmark @FerdOwner https://t.co/Kob2OOcz2m pic.twitter.com/bOaZaDHiBW

Norwegian companies are playing a high risk game of 'Salmonopoly' (a word coined by a 2006 documentary from Wilfried Huismann and Arno Schumann) led by Mowi owner John Fredriksen (Norway's richest man before abandoning his Norwegian citizenship to live in Cyprus and London).
So-called 'Scottish' salmon farming – 99% of which is owned/controlled by six foreign companies – is a sham, scam and a consumer con.
In November 2020, Scottish Salmon Watch wrote to the Norwegian Government asking it to divest from 'unethical' salmon farming companies:
Did you know that the Norwegian Government's Pension Fund (derived from Norway's oil revenues) is the largest or 2nd largest shareholder in companies which account for 80% of 'Scottish' salmon farming? @Folketrygdfond @MowiScotlandLtd @salmon_scottish https://t.co/4P1m3g2CvT pic.twitter.com/Sl6bFlcwaK

Scottish Salmon Watch reported in February 2019:
The breaking news that EU antitrust regulators have raided the Norwegian-owned salmon farming companies Mowi (formerly Marine Harvest), Scottish Sea Farms and Grieg Seafood "in a suspected cartel inquiry" will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with how the rigged game of Salmonopoly is played.
Here's the EU's press statement (19 February):
The EC said the investigation was being brought under competition rules of Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union – the EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices.

The EU investigation could cost the salmon farming industry megabucks. "Companies found guilty of breaching EU antitrust rules can be fined up to 10 percent of their global turnover," reported Reuters (19 February 2019).
Given their huge size, the salmon giants face mammoth fines.
