Fish Farm News Bites - 2016 - Almost too Many to Count: 595, Updated June 23, 2016

My Fish Farm News Bites Post that follows the hard to believe amount of negative global fish farm/seafood industry press is so big, it won't take any more. This is in less than a year. So here is the rest of the post, as of May 6, 2016.

This is the rest of the list: http://fishfarmnews.blogspot.ca/2015/07/key-document-fish-farm-news-bites.html.Scan the bold facing for a minute or two. You might be very alarmed about what fish farms companies, and the seafood industry do in our water around the world.

From that post, here is a quick, one gulp of the problems I have found in less than a year: boom bust industry, billions made and lost, crisis in lice and disease, workers fired, executives jumping company to company, dividing big bonuses, fraud, corruption, litigation, conflict of interest with government and scientists, using the ocean as a free open sewer – $10.4 Billion in BC alone, killing of seals and sea lions – more than 12,000 in BC so far, slavery, unpaid labour, taxpayers paying millions for diseased, dead fish – $177 Million in Canada, dueling scientists, weakening of laws, unsustainable feed, illegal fishing, jail sentences, disasters in Norway, Scotland, Chile, Canada, bullying of scientists, governments and anyone critical of their business, cartels, collusion, price fixing, fishing down the food chain to Antarctic krill, carcinogens and persistent organic pollutants, fluoroquinolones, chicken feathers in feed, animal feces in feed, eutrophication in a time of global warming, Malachite Green fungicide in USA seafood, fake industry awards, all the wild salmon in the Pacific ocean, more than a billion, put in peril... it goes on.

 I receive 20 global fish farm newsletter every week, so I am up on the issues.

Can you actually believe this amount of bad press? Almost 600 bad news fish farm stories in about a year. Very hard to believe it is this bad.

"This increase in temperature is likely coming from an increase in solar radiation rather than ocean currents and should correlate with salmon mortalities due to the increase in associated toxic algae densities.
In contrast to this, toxic algae should indeed be lower on the west facing side of the island of Chiloe, with lower salmon mortalities if the correlation between el NiƱo, increased temperatures, toxic algae and salmon mortalities holds true."

Read: Unable to develop an effective vaccine, Chilean farmers have been forced to increase antibiotic use.

Antibiotic use had risen 25 percent from 2013.

Sernapesca said that it "valued" the ruling, which "goes in the right direction regarding the transparency with which this industry should operate."

Farmed-salmon producers operating in Chile include Marine Harvest, Australis Seafoods, Compania Pesquera Camanchaca, Blumar, Multiexport Foods, Cermaq Group AS and Empresas AquaChile."
