Data published by the Scottish Government last week (12 January 2022) shows that mass mortalities at salmon farms in Scotland exceeded 700,000 in December alone (data only published until mid December) – here's the largest 'Mass Mortality Events' reported to the Fish Health Inspectorate by salmon farming companies (headed by The Scottish Salmon Company and Mowi) including 44,328 morts at ASC-audited Camus Glas (Mowi):

Here's the 36 'Mortality Event Reports' reported to the Scottish Government's Fish Health Inspectorate in the first two weeks of December 2021 (data up to 13 December):

'Case Information' published by the Scottish Government's Fish Health Inspectorate on 6 January 2022 gives an insight into how Mowi is disposing of their 150,000+ dead bodies at their ASC-certified salmon farm off the Isle of Rum – via the Aqua Scotia 'well-boat' (aka 'sick-boat') to Shetland (Cases 2021-0415, p129-131):

The Aqua Scotia (formerly called the Viking Caledonia) is operated by Norwegian company Aqua Ship (AquaShip is the result of a merger between GripShip AS and Johnson Marine Ltd in July 2018, with a subsequent acquisition of Artic Shipping AS two months later):

The Aqua Scotia was located earlier today (17 January 2022) at Mowi's ASC-certified – and accredited as 'organic' by the Soil Association – salmon farm in Loch Harport (Portnalong):

Another boat of death (M/S Bakkanes) was in operation at The Scottish Salmon Company's Druimyeon Bay salmon farm off the Isle of Gigha when the Fish Health Inspectorate visited in October 2021:

Meet the mort transporters for sick @salmon_scottish & @MowiScotlandLtd – M/S Bakkanes & Aqua Scotia (Viking Caledonia) are death boats (called 'wellboats' but should be called 'sickboats') taking millions of dead fish killed by diseases, viruses, parasites etc @ScotlandSalmon pic.twitter.com/DR7jRAfbec
