Reality check: High fish mortalities: Over the last decade, Mowi had the highest amount of fish mortalities out of the top salmon producers. Since 2010, 50 million salmon (a quarter of a million tonnes) have died or escaped from Mowi farms – worth $1.7 bn https://t.co/bUhhsb4jd6 pic.twitter.com/Q5WnNmfgfG

Mowi accused of "greenwashing" factory farmed salmon in new report @ChangingMarkets @feedbackorg @capecffa @wsrw

The 31 page report features a Case Study on Mowi:

"Poor fish welfare is a reputational risk for the industry. Fish welfare is important because fish are sentient animals, capable of feeling pain and emotions, and therefore capable of suffering" https://t.co/bUhhsb4jd6 @ChangingMarkets @philip_ciwf @HSIGlobal @PETAUK @ciwf pic.twitter.com/AJfzw87s5w

"Mowi was ranked the worst for animal welfare out of the four large salmon-farming companies in Scotland in a 2018 report by OneKind…the company is not doing much to improve; poor welfare & high mortality seem to be a consistent theme on Mowi farms" https://t.co/bUhhsb4jd6 pic.twitter.com/L6ep81eXEz

"It is impossible to know whether farmed salmon sold in the EU has been fed with fish coming from West Africa, or even if the fishmeal and fish oil has been sourced legally" @capecffa https://t.co/ZQfqW6VR0f @ChangingMarkets #Boycott #Farmed #Salmon

Feedback reported in November 2020:

Scottish Salmon Watch's report – "Greenwashing Scottish Salmon" – should be published later this Summer!

We believe the ASC is a shameless greenwashing scheme set up, funded and governed by the salmon farming lobby intent on misleading consumers. Just take a look at the ASC-certified salmon farm @ScotlandMowi shown in @seaspiracy – does this look responsible? https://t.co/ExQbWTnU5p https://t.co/V69kyBTshG pic.twitter.com/SfBWDBxIS4

How greenwashing works – Anne Anderson leaves @ScottishEPA in 2018 to join @SSPOsays (after being wined and dined by lobbyists https://t.co/PYSHIAfAcU) and now joins Norwegian salmon farming giant @scotseafarms @LeroySeafood https://t.co/WeEvq6Xe6m
