Actually a number of populations are threatened, and various sea trout
runs have more or less been eradicated in a number of places.
Unfortunately, it is quite impossible to convince the powers that be
of the desperate situation. There is too much money involved in this
type of aquaculture. The absolutely massive damage it is causing to
the environment on several fronts is simply not a consideration it
seems.

When the wild fish are wiped out, the farms will rule.
