Eating salmon farmed in Tasmania? What’s really on your plate?
Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon is produced in intensive feedlots and fed pellets containing ingredients you wouldn’t want on your table.
Astaxanthin. Feed companies use a combination of synthetic astaxanthin, a petrochemical product, and Krill meal, red in colour, added to dye the otherwise grey salmon flesh pink. Krill are harvested from the Antarctic Ocean using controversial trawling practices that kills whales as bycatch. Scientists are speaking out in condemnation of it.
Poultry beaks, claws and feathers, that become source of bad fats in our diet. Australian testing shows accumulated trans fats in the salmon flesh. Triploid salmon are bred infertile with an extra chromosome to produce an altered animal that will put on fat very quickly, resulting in a fattier product.
Ethoxyquin. A chemical substance banned in Europe, because of suspected links to cancer and chromosome damage.
Plastics. Salmon pen infrastructure is made from plastic including nets, floating structures, and rope. Testing has found micro plastics in the farmed Atlantic salmon we eat.
It's pretty nasty. What can you do?

Stop eating Atlantic salmon farmed in Tasmania.

Tell your friends, your family, your local chef, you won't eat it.

If you are eating marine farmed salmon produced in Australia, you are killing Tasmania. Our wildlife, our water ways, our pristine natural environment.

Already this year just one of the Tasmanian Salmon production companies has published its quarterly sustainability report including 5 deaths of protected species The Australian Fur Seal. These deaths are due to entanglement and euthanasia. This does not account for the shooting injuries caused by lead pellet bean bag shot and injuries sustained from dynamite “seal cracker” explosives used to deter the seals. The other companies operating in Tasmanian waters are foreign national owned and not legally required to publish their seal interactions. If you are eating fish on Good Friday to avoid warm blooded sacrifice, don’t choose Tasmanian Salmon.
