Other than the environmental concerns, we'd often get farmed salmon that had lice on them, and sometimes they had quite notable wounds from mechanical delousing.

Mind you, this wasn't cheap farmed salmon, this was the highest quality stuff. Also, this was in Norway, where the rules and regulations for aquaculture are some of the strictest in the world.

First, great work! Secondly, how did this change what types of seafood you eat? I worked as a fishmonger for many years and now I refuse to eat farmed salmon.

Are they in the aircraft or on the ground like drone operators? And is it true that you have IR floodlights that you light up an area with?

They use a lot of different species of lump fish. Some become as old as 30 years in the wild, other species only 6–8 years. In the pens, they live on average between 5–7 weeks.

I don't eat wild caught salmon. Also, sea-lice are harmless to humans, but not to the wild salmon that swim past the pens. It is also a question of ethics. When the animal care is that bad, I can't support the business model.

If I am to eat red fish, I eat closed-tank farmed Arctic Char.
