A new report slipped out by the Scottish Government confirms the severe damage being done to wild salmon populations by salmon farming. Salmon & Trout Conservation reported (22 October 2021):

"The available evidence indicates that introgression of genetic material from Norwegian farm salmon strains has altered the genetic composition of some populations within rivers near marine aquaculture production" @scotgov https://t.co/ao5rWnMHW3 @SSPOsays @MowiScotlandLtd
