I'd not heard about this til now. Would a salmon farm smell a bit weird?

Would explain why our away strip has been changed to salmon coloured shirts  

Move over Harry Haddock, it's Sammy Salmon's time to shine!

To be fair when we said we always sing when we’re fishing we never specified what type of fish

Can’t wait for people to start moaning about the prices of gourmet sushi at the ground to wash down with their pint of Docks clap.

Just had a quick glance at some of the comments and this one made my raise both eyebrows...

Moans about the noise from the ground, pretty sure that would have been there before she moved to her address.  Equally so moans about the noise from the train line, again confident it pre-dates her never mind when she moved to Blundell Ave.

Salmon is mega expensive so you would think a local salmon farm would significantly reduce the cost, plus vitally give a shot in the arm to local employment.  Always two sides to every story but you can see why there is some serious opposition to it as a method https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/gruesome-conditions-salmon-farm-supplies-30097379

Salmon Fishing in the Humber - currently in production with Shush films

Me thinks Paul Hurst has bigger fish to fry thls upcoming season

Quoted from Garth

Me thinks Paul Hurst has bigger fish to fry thls upcoming season

He plans to poach one or two.

He's looking for a striker called Terry Ackey.

Open salmon farms can bring a lot of issues to the local ecology, most requests to expand or open new farms in Scotland are being turned down now because of disease spreading between farms, and to other wild fish stocks. Its big business up on the lochs and like most things run purely on profit; welfare not important as long as they tick the boxes.

As these would be grown in tanks and not in sea lochs, I wouldn't have thought that spread of disease to other species ought to be much of a problem. That's assuming they treat the effluent properly (which they probably won't!).

The main environmental and other costs of salmon/prawn farms is how they obtain the feedstock which tends to be any sort of fish which can be hoovered up by trawlers.

It's why I try to avoid the big farmed tiger prawns you get in most supermarkets these days - I've read articles about slavery and other terrible mistreatment of workers onboard the boats which fish for the stuff to feed to the livestock. I like prawns, but not enough to have somebody enslaved to stick them on my plate.
