Norwegian fish farms pollute fjords with waste likened to ‘raw sewage of millions of people’.

Norwegian fish farms are filling fjords and other coastal waters with nutrient pollution equivalent to the raw sewage of tens of millions of people each year, a report has found.

Norway's aquaculture released 75 000 tonnes of nitrogen, 13 000 tonnes of phosphorus and 360 000 tonnes of organic carbon in 2025.

Buried the actual lede of the story... so here it is:

""Seeing these salmon runs exceeding estimated pre-season numbers by four and five times is truly a reflection of the hard work we have done to remove fish farms on the approach to the Fraser River," Werk pointed out. "

As a former deckhand on a family commercial salmon troller in 1990s, before the explosion of fish farms on the coast, I think there are more factors than just the closing of open net fish farms that has supported the return of this year's huge run of sockeye. It could be ocean temperatures in the North Pacific rebounding (down), it could be conditions on the Fraser River and the spawning streams... many things.

But do i think fish farms were decimating the health of fish migrating to and from the Fraser River and contributing to low return runs?

You're damn right I do.

"Turkish-farmed sea bass and sea bream is being fed on fishmeal exported from three factories in Senegal ... The women who work locally must keep their prices affordable for their customers and say they cannot compete on price with the factories, forcing increasing numbers of them out of work.
The data led us from these factories, via Turkey’s sea bass and sea bream farms, to Billingsgate fish market in London and the fish counters of supermarkets across the UK. Here, fish grown by farms that have used Senegalese fishmeal are labelled “responsibly” sourced or farmed, based on certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and other standards bodies."
