🐟Salmon Farming

Each individual salmon farm in Scotland produces the same waste as a town of 10,000 to 20,000 people. https://www.aquanet.com/blog/will-farmed-fish-feed-the-world-32 https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16086953.one-fish-farm-produces-waste-equivalent-all-scotlands-west-coast-towns/#:~:text=ONE%20fish%20farm%20produces%20the,together%2C%20an%20expert%20has%20said https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2001/jan/07/fishing.food#:~:text=It%20is%20estimated%20that%20a,a%20town%20of%2020%2C000%20people. This waste causes eutrophication and acidification. Waste from fish farms includes ammonia and nitrogen, which feeds algae in waterways, which is toxic to the marine wildlife there. It causes coral bleaching and in marine animals it disrupts reproduction, growth, and feeding; resulting in the needless loss of life and biodiversity.
