  • The rising demand for farmed salmon is affected coastal communities to access affordable fish.
  • Fish oil is increasingly in demand for salmon farms, which now supply 70 per cent of all salmon consumed worldwide.
  • The farmed Atlantic salmon alone accounted for 60 per cent of fish oil usage in 2020.
