ASDA revolting?
Following an explosion of outrage from the national press, the Walmart-owned supermarket chain, ASDA, has revolted against Wester Ross farmed salmon and banned the product from its shelves.
It has taken time, but at last there is a reflex action from the trade as ASDA flinched from stocking fish from what the Sunday Times on April 20th called the ‘problem’ Wester Ross Fisheries. Scotland on Sunday went one further on the same day, asserting that salmon farms are said to be killing off wild stock. Wild sea trout are being ‘eaten alive’ by fish-farm parasites in Wester Ross following farmers’ ‘failure to control lice numbers on farmed salmon’.
