The Scottish salmon farming industry has incurred “hidden” costs of £3.3 billion since 2013 because of mass deaths, pollution, parasites and poor animal welfare, according to a new report.
Unplanned mortalities at fish farms are estimated to have cost £666 million, fish welfare £651m and sea lice £334m. The weight of caged salmon dying prematurely in Scotland has more than doubled since 2013 to 25,772 tonnes in 2019, the report said.
The industry, however, insisted it has “a great environmental story to tell”. Fish farming is “one of the best solutions to feeding the world’s burgeoning population,” it argued.
