Shocking to read that Tassal has had a major fish-kill at its barramundi farm in the remote Buccaneer Archipelago/Cone Bay region of WA while simultaneously pushing ahead with plans to ramp up production. 
What concerns me deeply is this expansion ambition — from roughly 2 000 tonnes a year to potentially 17 500 tonnes — in a glob­ally significant and delicate marine ecosystem. 
The story doesn’t revisit the wider track‐record of salmon-farm related mortality and ecosystem impacts, yet the parallels are painfully obvious. We should be asking: are we repeating history rather than learning from it?
