The Fish Site

IRELAND - Record toxic algae blooms continue to close shellfish harvesting in the south west of Ireland are caused in part by the waste from fish farms. The local action group set up to oppose the expansion of fish farming, Save Bantry Bay, has drawn attention to the fact that fish farms are responsible for far more nitrogen and phosphorous in our coastal waters than sewage from major towns.

Contracorriente

Guido De Paula

Without a law to prohibit the salmon industry in Tierra del Fuego, Antártida and Islas del Atlantico Sur (TFAIAS), Argentina, one of the world’s most untouched places was in danger: the Beagle Channel. 'Contracorriente' illustrates the effects of salmon farming and the crucial need to safeguard these pristine waters. The documentary was screened for the local community to inform them about the impending threat – their government had just signed a deal with a salmon company. Thanks to this film and other efforts, Tierra del Fuego achieved a remarkable feat: becoming the first location to ban open-net salmon farming, making Argentina the pioneer country to do so, even before it could take root.

Arnarlax has 10,000 tonne licence revoked in Iceland

Fish Farmer

The large Icelandic salmon farming company Arnarlax was told yesterday that its licence to farm 10,000 tonnes of sterile salmon in Isafjord has been revoked. The reason given by the Icelandic Environmental and Natural Resources Board of Appeal was that MAST, the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority failed to provide a 'comprehensive, weighted assessment of the potential risk of the spread of fish diseases and parasites' before issuing the licences. The ruling is a big setback for Arnarlax, which is the production division of Icelandic Salmon and which in turn is majority owned by the Norwegian salmon farmer SalMar. By Vince McDonagh
