What are the issues that face wild salmon?
The most pressing issue is open-net salmon farming. As stated by Living Oceans Society, “Salmon farms harm the environment by spreading diseases and parasites to wild fish, releasing waste and chemicals into the ocean, not being able to prevent farmed fish escapes and causing marine mammal deaths.” These wastes and parasites include but are not limited to sea lice which are usually fatal to baby salmon, and fish excrement.
