Why Iceland?
Anyone who has visited will know that Iceland’s green credentials are of global renown & envy
The difference
Farmed Salmon from open cages at sea
Poor husbandry
well documented with a high mortality rate - probably unequalled in any other form of farming
Sea lice proliferation
the only treatment available is a toxin which has a direct effect on all crustacea . Wild salmon and sea trout are known to be directly and adversely affected by excess contact with sea lice
Antibiotics
used for control of sea borne diseases exacerbated by high density farming. Diseased farms have a direct impact on wild salmon and other wild fish
Raw sewage
uncontrolled effluent render the sea-bed devoid of life which is a direct threat to other species. Toxic nitrogen levels create highly poisonous algae blooms
Escape
mixing with dwindling wild salmon stocks and diluting their genetic make up
Unsustainable
open caged salmon farms are nett pollutants and poor for the environment
LAND SALMON farmed on land in a controlled environment
Excellent husbandry
with very low mortality. Fish reared in highly oxygenated, crystal clear lava filtered water at an optimum temperature
No sea lice
no toxic treatment required
No antibiotics
each tank system is an isolated biosphere
Raw sewage
pumped out, filtered and turned in to compost
Escape
no escapees possible and no threat to wild salmon stocks
Fully sustainable
abundance of clean water and 100% renewable energy
