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.

Iceland, Open-Net Fish Farms, and the Final Frontier for Wild Atlantic Salmon

Patagonia

In the last 20 years, the expansion of salmon farming in open-net pens has led to the loss of half the wild salmon population in Norway. On average, 200,000 farmed fish escape from open-net pens and many of them swim up rivers in Norway and breed with wild stocks, contributing to species decline. According to conservation groups, the same method of farming is also responsible for the collapse in salmon and sea trout populations in the West Highlands and Islands of Scotland. By Mădălina Preda
