Scottish Salmon's Mort Mountain

Key Issues
Diseases
Seals Killed
Mortalities
The list of diseases reported on Scottish salmon farms includes Amoebic Gill Disease, Anaemia, Cardiomyopathy Syndrome, Pasteurella skyensis, Salmon Gill Poxvirus and Pancreas Disease. Mmmm. Read more online here
Mortalities
Seals Killed
Mortalities
Over a quarter (26.7%) of Scottish salmon die each year on farms in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland. That present a huge problem for the disposal of morts (dead salmon) which exceeded 20,000 tonnes in 2017 and are estimated at well over 10 million (perhaps as high as 20 million). More details online here
Seals Killed
Seals Killed
Seals Killed
You may be shocked to discover that dozens of seals are killed each year by Scottish salmon farms (even those certified by the RSPCA). The seal killers are headed by Marine Harvest, Loch Duart, Scottish Sea Farms & the Scottish Salmon Company (all members of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation and RSPCA certified).

Lice
FOI Data
Seals Killed
Parasites called sea lice have exploded on Scottish salmon farms - as lice have become resistant to toxic chemicals (read the latest data online here). New mechanical treatments such as the Thermolicer (a washing machine for lice-ridden farmed salmon) are being used but tens of thousands of salmon are dying each year (read more online here).
