Farmed Salmon Environmental Impact. The effects of fish farming salmon create local and global issues. On the surface we can. These fugitive fish pose a new and little understood form of environmental pollution. Being raised in hatcheries and sea cages make the fish less imprinted by locationThey often migrate back to the area that they escaped from and from there up adjacent rivers.
As in cattle poultry and other livestock farming disease management is critical in salmon farming. The use of open net pens in salmon farming has significant environmental impacts which can in turn affect human health. They present different levels of health risk and environmental impact and they even taste different to avid salmon connoisseurs. The escape of millions of salmon from enormous net pens every year has drastically altered marine environments coastal rivers and associ-ated food chains around the world. Life-cycle analysis suggests that farmed salmon demonstrate lower use of key environmental-impact measures including energy water and land usage and produce fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than beef poultry and pork CAIA nd-b. The effects of fish farming salmon create local and global issues.
Salmon is a priority commodity for WWF because it has significant potential for negative impact on the places and species we seek to protect.
