Before 'Organic' Sea Harvest entered the disease-ridden Scottish salmon farming sector just six foreign-owned companies accounted for 99% of 'Scottish' salmon farming production.

Now it seems the foreign control of 'Scottish' salmon is extending to the Netherlands where Visscher Seafood (part of the Brouwer Food Group) is now a part-owner of 'Organic' Sea Harvest.

Organic Sea Harvest's web-site makes no mention of the Dutch connection – only stating that "Villa Seafood UK is a joint venture between Villa Seafood Group in Norway and the principals of Dom International in Canada":

A search of Companies House reveals that Organic Sea Harvest is controlled by Villa Seafood:

Dig deeper in the Companies House web-site and you will see that Villa Seafood is controlled by Visscher Seafood in the Netherlands, Villa Seafood in Norway and an anonymous company (Dom International) in Canada:

How the use of lobster-killing chemicals, infectious diseases and mass mortalities (not to mention yesterday's planning refusal) fits in Visscher Seafood's "all natural" branding is unclear.

Many commentators and customers genuinely believe that dousing salmon in lobster-killing chemicals is the antithesis of all natural and organic.

A peer-reviewed scientific paper published in September 2020 reported:

'Organic' Sea Harvest caught using lobster-killing Deltamethrin (Alphamax) https://t.co/MMIY8aUAEj @marinescotland "Deltamethrin is highly toxic to lobster larvae" https://t.co/FebQVQadbe @alexmacinnessnp @SoilAssocScot @Jonnynogaps @IanDobb pic.twitter.com/Io7556yMqf

Next time you're in a supermarket please think twice before being tempted by "all natural" and "organic" salmon.

As owner of 'Organic' Sea Harvest in #Scotland how can Visscher Seafood market #Scottish salmon as "all natural" when it was farmed with the toxic chemical Deltamethrin (shown by science to kill lobsters)? @timbrouwer89 #VisscherSeafood https://t.co/OzeqlPrFJr #Organic #Scamon pic.twitter.com/GVAAH1a42d

In addition to being owned by Dutch, Canadian and Norwegian interests, 'Organic' Sea Harvest source their 'Scottish' salmon from imported salmon eggs (ova) from Norwegian-owned Mowi in Ireland and Stofnfiskur in Iceland (a subsidiary of Norwegian-owned Benchmark who was caught importing virus-laden ova into the United States). A Freedom of Information disclosure by the Scottish Government in February 2020 revealed that Organic Sea Harvest imported 584,000 salmon eggs in February 2019 from Mowi Ireland to be on-grown by Landcatch Natural Selection Ltd at their Ormsary Hatchery in Argyll with another 675,00 salmon eggs imported in November 2019 from virus-laden Stofnfiskur in Iceland (read more online here).

Scottish salmon is a sham, scam and a consumer con. Please join Skye's Katie Tunn in taking the pledge against farmed salmon!

In March 2020, Dutch TV slammed 'organic' salmon.
