Video footage published by Viva in September 2023 shot inside Mowi's 'organic' salmon farm in Loch Torridon in July 2023 is available online here:

Scottish salmon farms are not the answer to overfishing, going vegan is.

These farms cause sea lice to rampantly reproduce, and then spill out into the wider environment in their millions. It takes just two sea lice to kill a young salmon or sea trout. @lexrigby explains 👇 pic.twitter.com/k6RCPgw9VL

The Observer reported in September 2023:

In October 2023, $camon $cotland published video footage of jellyfish swarming outside – and microjellyfish inside – salmon farms (including Mowi in Loch Torridon) and a compilation of video footage shot inside salmon farms during 2023 (including Mowi in Loch Torridon):

Is this “responsible farming”?#scottishsalmon farms are being certified by @ASC_aqua @rspcaassured and @SoilAssociation Organic despite substantial pollution, poor parasite control and sky-high mortality rates.

These schemes risk being little more than greenwashing. pic.twitter.com/6oQoVUV0Mh

Soil Association Organic certified #scottishsalmon farms can still treat fish with medicines containing chemical pesticides known to be toxic to marine life, including lobsters.

Is this really farming in balance with nature?

The Ferret reported in September 2023:

Certification bodies and supermarkets have a fundamental duty not to mislead customers on the reality of farmed salmon, but it appears they are failing dismally on this. @FerretScot https://t.co/xcK0EaMATB
