Revealed: 16 ‘toxic’ chemicals fish farmers are allowed to use 
UK Source: theferret 3/17/2021

Fish farmers in Scotland are permitted to use 16 “toxic” chemicals to kill parasites and fungi, control infections and anaesthetise fish, according to the Scottish Government’s green watchdog.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has disclosed all the pesticides, fungicides, antibiotics and anaesthetics it allows companies to discharge from salmon cages into dozens of lochs around the country.
 

Environmental groups have expressed concerns about the “toxic effects” of the chemicals on wildlife. They have called for improved monitoring and a halt to fish farm expansion until “meaningful action” is taken to curb the risks.
The industry, however, stressed that the chemicals were used responsibly in line with official authorisations. It pointed out that its spending on fish farm medicines had more than halved since 2015.
