Norwegian salmon shows up on some pretty big stages, from Miss Universe to the Met Gala. But there’s a truth back home that’s harder to dress up.
Norway’s largest export, farmed salmon, comes at the expense of their wild salmon populations, which are at a historically low level.
Norwegian scientists have reported sea lice from Norwegian salmon farms as one of the greatest threats to the survival of the country’s wild salmon.
‼️Here in Iceland, the issue keeps hitting closer to home
On September 11, the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority granted new licenses for sea-cage salmon farms in Seydisfjordur. This news broke in the Norwegian stock market before it broke to the Icelandic people 👀
We’ve seen the reality beneath the bejeweled facades of healthy salmon. New pens in Seydisfjordur are not a good look, and Iceland doesn’t need to follow Norway’s lead.
