Sound familiar? This lawsuit filed on behalf of Farm Stand speaks to alleged misleading representations of “sustainably farmed” salmon.
The lawsuit looks at the Chilean waters of Patagonia where net pen salmon have been driven by large corporations.
Among the issues in the suit,
o Parasites
o Impact on the marine environment
o Depleting forage fish to make food to grow the farmed salmon
o Crowded industrial net pens
o Excess nutrients
These are some of the similarities cited in Conservation Law Foundation’s suit against Cooke Aquaculture.
