Summary:

"In a prizewinning five-year investigation, authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli produced a comprehensive evaluation of the detrimental effects of salmon farming. From lice to escapees, from concentrated sea-pen waste in the fjords through which wild salmon swim to the fact that salmon farming causes a net reduction of protein reaped from the ocean, the results don't look good. Recent victories, such as the banning of net-pen fish farms in the waters of Washington State, are an indication that we are awakening to the environmental price of engineered fish. But will it be soon enough?"-- Provided by publisher.
