"Last-resort", they croak! When in reality it is nothing like, the bullet being the cheapest method. Now we need to observe the salmon industry looking for loopholes… compensation for lack of management should NOT be one of them! https://t.co/4TAMolL4or

You claim to have spent £8 million on anti-predator nets – but if it costs £1 million for each farm isn't that only 8 farms? How many farms are still unprotected? https://t.co/sfu4FOnmHt@ScotlandMowi @SSPOsays @salmon_scottish @scotseafarms @GriegShetland @marinescotland https://t.co/MWpJLwq83N
