When I filmed earlier this month (8 September 2020) at Landcatch's salmon hatchery at Ormsary, I was assaulted by the boss of Hendrix Genetics Scotland (Jarl van den Berg) who pushed me and attempted to grab my camera to stop filming.  

 

 

 

The boss of Hendrix Genetics Scotland (owners of Landcatch) strongly objected to Scottish Salmon Watch filming in a public area and taking samples of salmon hatchery effluents being discharged onto a public beach on Loch Caolisport in Argyll.

 

 

 

 

Here's video footage shared with Police Scotland and Hendrix Genetics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scottish Salmon Watch asked Police Scotland to give the 29-year old a warning rather than file a formal complaint that may have led to an assault charge. 

 

 

 

 

 

Jarl van den Berg has been general manager of Hendrix Genetics Scotland since July 2019 (it is not known if Jarl van den Berg is related to Antoon van den Berg, CEO, Co-Shareholder and Co-Founder of Hendrix Genetics).

 

 

 

 

Dutch-owned Hendrix Genetics bought Landcatch in 2011 from Lithgows.  

 

 

 

The Herald reported in June 2011:

 

 

 

 

 

Jarl van den Berg has the face of an angel and sings in a local choir.

 

 

 

 

Why the Hendrix boss rocked out like Jimmy is hard to fathom.

 

 

 

 

Hendrix Genetics have previously claimed to be welcoming to visitors.

 

 

@scottishaqua @roslininstitute came along to visit our Ormsary facilities yesterday. Jarl van den Berg, HG Salmon general manager hosted the visit. The sun even came out for the site tour in the afternoon #innovation #sustainability #genetics #workingtogether #animalscience pic.twitter.com/vjeeekuPv5

However Scottish Salmon Watch's polite request in 2018 for a formal site visit was refused leading to a night time visit in March 2019.

 

 

 

 

Perhaps Hendrix Genetics have unwanted pathogens, viruses and infectious diseases hiding in the waste effluents they are discharging into Loch Caolisport?
