Mortalities of this scale tell us something is profoundly wrong with the way we raise these animals for our consumption
James Dyke: ‘Last year, 17 million farmed salmon died in Scotland, the most ever recorded.’
Fish are a source of vital nutrition for people around the world. Some communities are entirely dependent on fishing for their livelihoods, a practice that is much older than civilisation. Such has been the rise of aquaculture, today over half of all fish eaten comes from fish farms. Inhas identified a significant increase in mass death events in salmon farms in the major producing nations of Norway, Canada, and UK.
, it is very likely that a considerable number of salmon are conscious while they bleed out. Biologists have long known that fish feel pain as they have a nervous system, that like other vertebrates, releases endorphins as a way to reduce pain. Thinking about the suffering millions of animals experience while they are farmed and then killed may put you off that next piece of salmon sushi.
