Mortality data slipped out earlier this month by the Scottish Government's Fish Health Inspectorate reveals that 'Organic' Sea Harvest – which operates two RSPCA Assured salmon farms off North East Skye – is dead in the water with over half a million mass mortalities already reported in 2023 including 325,551 dead fish in a single week at a horrific death rate of 72.5%!

Dutch/Canadian/Norwegian-owned 'Organic' Sea Harvest is certified as 'organic' by the Soil Association, as 'welfare friendly' via RSPCA Assured and shamelessly markets itself as "farmed in the wild":

Organic Sea Harvest's Invertote salmon farm has also suffered mass mortalties due to Amoebic Gill Disease and Sea Lice infestation (the latter leading to toxic chemical treatments with Deltamethrin – shown by peer-reviewed science to kill shellfish):

The Scottish Fish Farm Production Survey 2021 (published earlier today – 27 October 2022 – by the Scottish Government) exposes the growing scam of 'organic' farmed salmon in Scotland – with 'organic' salmon farming production more quadrupling over the last decade from 4,597 tonnes in 2012 to 18,285 tonnes in 2021:

"So-called 'organic' salmon is a sham, scam and a consumer con," said Don Staniford, Director of $camon $cotland.  "Shame on the Soil Association for greenwashing pharmed salmon as environmentally friendly.  Mowi, Cooke Aquaculture and Organic Sea Harvest – the three salmon farming companies certified as 'organic' in Scotland – are a world removed from 'organic' farming.  Organic salmon farming is an oxymoron."
