I'm from Hardanger in Norway. The river in my hometown used to be one of the best salmon rivers in the country and it has been completely destroyed by fish farms. The vast majority of salmon are now escaped farm fish full of parasites. A few years ago me and my father spotted a fish in the river that was almost completely white from fish lice and totally blind, he walked into the river with a spear and stabbed it, it was too frail to resist and didn't even seem aware that anyone was near. For years we have petitioned and protested to no avail, the farm companies act like they own the fjords. Please don't buy farmed salmon, when you do you're helping to destroy a fjord that is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Bruh, my Costco sometimes like once a year has Alaskan king salmon but the rest is Atlantic farmed salmon. How do I get salmon then? I’ll spend more money for wild and fresh salmon but it just not available.
@RO RO don’t have a fishing license and salmon in California isn’t easy and I have studies and not allowed to waste time on fishing. I would like to go fishing but I haven’t found the time yet.
Well crap. I just feel in love with smoked salmon from the supermarkets here in Germany, thinking it was healthy. Package clearly states, "farm raised in Norway". Done eating that stuff forever. Kudos to the investigative team, great work.
I just bought Norwegian smoked smoked salmon from Aldi’s (Florida) a few weeks ago. Afterwards I looked at the ingredients, and googled them. Although minor compared to what I’ve just witnessed, they also use an additive that makes the flesh a deeper red.
Meanwhile the Swedish food safety institute (Livsmedelverket) is recommending Norwegian farmed salmon and it is literally even saying it recommends it for children. The corruption is insane.
This issue is the same with every farmed fish, they swim in their own poop and have to be kept "healthy" by adding pesticides and drugs. Wild caught fish can also be problematic though, thanks to humanity polluting the seas more and more, it's a sad state of affairs and today we should stay clear of most fish, it is no longer a healthy food.
I grew up (in France) thinking Norway smoked salmon was the delicacy and we always had that for Xmas eve and other special dinners. I even continued that tradition in the USA with my new family. I stopped couple years ago after seeing this and many other reports. thank you for the investigation team.
@@3fmnorge brought to you by the "Norwegian Slamon Federation" - no really there are tons of farm fish journalism sounding the alarm for a reason... you are what you eat. I catch mine wild, thank you very much...
There are good Salmon farms in Scotland where the tidal stream scour the farms, but there is no doubt that livestock kept in pens are going to get lice etc. Need pesticides. I now only eat cod fish fingers which are caught by factory ships in the oceans. The last wild Salmon, I had, wasthirty years ago, it was from a crofter it was poached from the landowner, wonderfull fish.
I just started buying farm raised salmon from Trader Joe’s bc it’s so affordable. I should’ve known why. A few days ago, I saw a clip about the fish being injected with pink/orange dye to mimic healthy salmon. That, combined with this video, is my sign to absolutely never buy or consume farm raised salmon (or any other type of fish). Great reporting!
The problem is also that "wild caught" label. The fish farm sets up nets farther out. Then the fish are let go out of the farm. The fish swimming in the "wild water" are caught up by the nets for that wild caught label. But it was still farm raised.
I used to live in Nordfjord on the West Land coast, where the salmon is farmed. I will never forget the indignation of Norwegian officials when France declared their "healthy" salmon a health hazard. Shame on you, Norway
Yes it has been great. Basic things taken for granted today were luxury items for the rich back then. Poor families in southern Italy were selling their daughters for a stick of salami.
It is refreshing to see that this sort of serious investigative journalism still exists in this superficial, anti-critical thinking era of 'Twitter outrage' and gesture politics.
@Axel Stabursvik really ?? You're angry because you so called europian utopia has flaws. This is why liberal democrats are delusional because of this poision fish
@Axel Stabursvik really ? Then, why are you opposing to this type of journalism? They are trying to expose that the european union is not perfect and they can control joirnalism international.
As a doc, I had no clue about the magnitude of the dirtiness in this industry and I will make sure to pass on what I've learned to friends and patients. Thank you for an exceptional piece of journalism!

Before visiting Norway, I thought it is there where you can sample one of the best salmon. It's akin to visiting Kobe for wagyu. But when I visited Tromso, I got the privilege to tour the western islands near Tromso. My tour guide pointed out the negatives of fish farms specifically the farm practices as we pass by salmon farms along the fjords. Needless to say, I left Norway without sampling a parcel of Norwegian salmon.
Send a tip to news papers. Never heard of this either. And given the conflict of interest I think it might be of interest these days. This is sickening.
And then you stand in pose of Caesar and try to lecture Russia about "freedom of speech and democracy". Oh and that thing about your Minister of Fisheries... Your corruption makes Italian Mafia blush. That is on the top of being just another US puppet when it comes to the international politics which includes the support of the nazis. You are pathetic.
My mother's diet was entirely fish, mostly salmon and vegetables. She never smoked, drank alcohol or ate any processed foods. She unexpectedly died of lung and brain cancer. Doctors can't explain why but I'm now certain it was toxins from farmed fish and perhaps chemicals used on vegetables
I recall that a prominent female Norwegian politician is heavily involved in protecting the secrecy of toxicthe salmon farming industry . Now the Irish government has given permission to the same Norwegian company to start a huge salmon farming operation on Ireland’s southwest coast . The corrupt poisoning of the environment and the people is international .
I doubt there are many true wild salmon anymore. With extensive salmon fish farms fed with toxic food, and the interbreeding with diseased and genetically farmed fish. Stop eating salmon.
“When man has polluted the last river, chopped down the last three, poisoned the last pice of land, polluted the air and seas. Then and only then will he realize that he can’t eat money”. Native Chief Joseph.
Dear@@wdcurry111, First; I am sorry if I by ignorance misquoted anything, it was by inspiration and from memory. It’s very interesting that you refer to the Native Seminole’s. I use to have a recording, one of the first recordings ever done of Native songs. It was songs by The Seminole tribe. Well, I am truly sorry about how “we” treat our Natives it’s the same here where I live, with the Sami people. I believe that people has been betrayed by greed in one way or another. You could argue that politics, religions.... are in the hands of satan, but that’s not true. The only reason to blame some other than our self is to get away with it. “We” are responsible for what the world looks like, it’s us how are using the beautiful universal power of creation and love the wrong way. It’s time to wake up to the truth. Wake up to the light the energy inside of ourself, the vessel that will take us in to eternity and to the always “be” “now” and “I am”. I have a long way to go but I I am working on it, everyday. May all good things come your way. Love and light from me to you! M
Very good documentary. I love the fact that there are people out there who chooses to devote their time to expose the fraud within the authorities, and also educating the public about the misinformation and lies which they have been told to believe by the very people who are supposed to feed them with safe and healthy foods. Great job! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Not really. Go back to 12:37, ignore the dubs and listen to Huyhn's english. It is perfectly understandable and what he says is not what they represent in the dubbing. Anywhere else, you'd just have subtitles clarifying words he mispronounces or otherwise messes up, but this guy has really good english.
You have been feeding your son the wrong type of farmed salmon. When you buy farmed salmon you should buy salmon with a QR or other code on the pack. You can scan it and trace the salmon from it hatched to it was slaughtered and packed, it will tell you everything from what it ate to what kind of vaccination or medicine it recieved during it’s lifetime. It’s the same with beef. Some of it is good quality and trackable, and some of it should not be eaten. If you like salmon you should do your research and know which brands are safe
Ken T no problem! Just trying to spread the word. I’m getting educated in aquaculture and fishing, and i’m annoyed that documentaries like this one targets a whole country based on limited knowledge and just one bad fishfarm
Enzo Swedianto it’s part of my education. This year we learn about both fishing and aquaculture. And next year i’m going to focus on one of them, most likely fishing since we don’t have too many salmon farms near where i live
Yeah but their system is way different...highly socialized like most of Scandinavia. Residents are apportioned a certain amt from the oil industry like in Alaska. Anyone wishing to better themselves can get schooling at any stage to better themselves or improve technology within their field. It's pretty neat ...but it's socialism. Everything comes from the gov't. So although it's a more relaxed system...the freedoms are less it socialization. Not sure if That's so pristine! Remember what Reagan warned...those famous words..."I'm here from the government and I'm here to "help"."
It has been my personal observation that the first people screaming for aid are people who think like you. They find every way not to pay into the community then expect every advantage of a society. Shame on you.
@@johnglad5 Dear John, So happy for you that you are a "seer". That you can actually "know" others from afar, based on a few words. Either you are gifted w. a rare talent or perhaps you are "entitled". The fact is... Johnny-boy ...I'll be 80 soon enough. I still work a 40 hr wk! I live w. my disabled, dependent son. I may not have given back to my community but, I raised a son who is...(one of 3). I took my job as mom seriously. I had to work hard...very long hrs. and was always exhausted. I worked nites. Sometimes life does 't present you w. all the opportunities you would like. I've been exhausted all my life. But I've always tried my hardest to make a difference and give back in ways I could. I have 5+41 yrs of sobriety and give rides to many who need my encouragement. The son who serves runs 3 sm corps. but gives much of his time and substance to community endeavors...fund raising golf tourneys raising money for police, vets, conservation, church, ALS etc. Supplying uniforms to Little League & HS. teams. He holds a town office and sits on an advisory board at Tech. He's a "Mr. Mom" and drives his two youngest girls to & from school (about 30 mi.going And coming, AM & PM.). He does things I only dreamed of even though I gave in my own way...to my family. So, you are quite wrong about me, sir. You don't know me. It is doubtful you would want to ...you might be pressed to change your mind about how you see people.
Why the surprise? - Greedy people, to whom money is God ..is also breed and born in Norway! My biggest concern is, that EU seems to be completely indifferent on this topic!??
Thank you for putting this great informational video together. The frustrating thing is I am wondering if there is any healthy food to eat anymore. It seems you cannot trust any of these industrialized sources. Thanks again for this.
Beef from local ranchers may be one of the cleanest options. They usually eat grass for all of their life except the last few weeks when they are fattened up with grains
@PaulWyon In ans. to your query abt the availability to get any good quality...safe foods anymore. My response would be...and they actually want to build "high rise" farms in the future. Those of us who struggle w. our wgt have long. thought we've had a lot of "help" along the way. Just saw a pc on TV abt the additives the big co's. like Kraft and Nabisco to name just 2 have gone to lengths to add to their food...(mostly the kinds of food you can live without btw). It seems since big tobacco couldn't get their slimy mitts on $ from tobacco products and branched out to the food industry ...this has been going on...(I'm approaching my 80's). In Mass., menthol tobacco products were outlawed bc they were racially motivated. I've lived in an area that used to supply ocean fresh fish to much of the N.Y. mkt. We got the left-overs or bought fish shipped from up north. Funny, how the world works! I used to see fewer trip-boats out of New Bedford...now...all of a sudden there are lots more boat ...(draggers, mostly). The day boats have increased in areas closer to The Cape. I thought we were out of fish here. Perhaps, I'm reading the signs wrong (I'm just looking. at boats anchored up in "fishing harbors"). Actually lots more reasons that could be...but you'd have to know the industry better to look deeper. So, perhaps there's always a back story to what we're hearing. One wk they declare a certain food product healthy...next wk it's something else! We've all long wondered abt the politics of the food industry. I tend to notice things others don't see. My grandparents had a sm. farm in NH. Farming had always been a way of life in our family. Many 2nd to 4th gen. from that particular branch have continued in the dairy/beef/show cattle industry. When I read abt my cousin's efforts to wag the big political dog backing the dairy industry ...I was amazed, to stay in business all the hoops a farmer has to jump thru. The wife runs a gourmet quality bed 'n breakfast, farm stay-cation business. Her husband runs a "Cabot" farm. One of the brothers was a Prof. (now ret'd.)... had his doctorate in dairy cow nutrition. Pics of the prize-winning cows from "the farm" amazed me! They bear no resemblance to my grandads 28 cow dairy barn. Grand-dad's son owned a 600 acre spred when he sold out and ret'd. One of his 4 boys has 200 milking head...others are out pasturing or abt to birth/freshen. Birthing takes place on cam...if help is called for they're there in nanno seconds. Calves are carefully tended. Where my grand-dad didn't mess w. the bulls...they were gone the next day! One of the cousins has a sm. beef operation. It's a business. Fishing, dairy, beef, cheese. Just a peak behind the scenes on the production side of things. My cousins, along w. their sons and grandson's have a far different life...full of politics, boards. and agencies. There are phone calls, board meetings, travel to the capital, hearings and inspections. There are county fairs to attend and 4H and FFA youngsters to groom into farming as a way of life. If neglect is your operating procedure you'll not win. These are different times! Many communities in blue state Mass have had to obtain a "certain designation" as "Right to Farm Communities". Sounds strange to me. My cousins live in Vt. Where I live Oyster farms rule! It's quiet here but the tourists raise a ruckus now and then! Everything is so different now. One of my son's has the most lucrative trades co. in the county. He's farming too! His farm is the local Tech...an honors school. He's a grad ...probably one of the best. He's sharp, well-read, stats-oriented. He travels to gain working knowledge, serves on a town board, an advisory board at Tech and runs a corp. worth many millions...one of 3. A young guy in his early 40's. He farms the plumbing shop and eagerly awaits each June and the birthing of new plumbers and HVAC's. Life is different today! Tech has become one of the top ten secondary schools in Mass. instead of being a warehouse for boys who couldn't make it anywhere else. This is technology...a new age in work, and food production. They were just given a farm ...so food production will reign once more in our county. Already we have veggie farms that supply the farmers mkts in ea. sm. town. This is an age of change, integration and sustainability. More folks w. animals are getting into Perrmaculture. Stay educated. ... there is a fish farm in Scotland that produces excellent fresh salmon and sells at a high end market in out town. The taste and texture are top drawer. Perhaps there's a "doctor" ?(A fish nutrition Phd) in the house! Sorry so long but the subject deserves a wider look! Unfortunately, most don't have the time or energy to pursue the information!
@@carlwatts1230I have a cattle farm near us, they used to have organic chicken and organic beef. They had a fairly small stock. Then, they expanded. First, their chicken were not organic anymore. Then, they had so many cows that the grass on their fields do not regenerate as fast as they need it to. Now, they told me that they needed to use nitrate to fertilise the grass. Not organic anymore. End of story. They lost me as their client. But where to go to buy? I am buying from supermarkets, organic. But, how certain can we be that it is organic? So sad....
I live in Belgium. The super markets here offer farm raised Scottish, Norwegian and rarely wild Alaskan salmon. The meat of farm raised salmon is neither firm or flavorful, rather slimy and gelatinous. Once you taste wild salmon, you notice the difference immediately. I toured a Norwegian fjord fishing farm several years ago, interesting tour. There is controversy in fish farming; the precarious products fed to fish, the denuding of the sea bottom and the poor quality of meat due to lower oxygen content of the water and fish unable to use their muscles to swim long distances.
@@petercarroll3977 I have not enough money to buy fish, so problem solved... Well, what do you expect, world's population is rising as fast as ever (in REAL numbers, not meaningless % rates)... In a few years even if we are all walking vegans, there won't be enough fish, and other resources for all.
@@DR_1_1 World population is setup to collapse already. Not by some WWF gloom and doom bs about resources but because of demographics. Urbanization changes human behavior. Birth rates of all urbanized places have crashed. Economic development always leads to urbanization and that will cap population growth.
Apart from the toxic chemicals that are used, salmon farming is causing massive problems for wild Atlantic salmon. Huge build ups of parasites such as sea lice and tonnes of fish excrement from the cages on the beds of sea lochs, rendering the areas virtually dead to sea life. The decline of Atlantic salmon populations on the west side of Scotland show an exact correlation with the start and expansion of salmon farming over the last four decades.
Not sure if I'm supposed to like this video or dislike it. Great work. I immediately stopped eating salmon when I saw this back in the days. Great documentary. It's so crazy where we are.
People who are not aware, like I was, look at those packages "From norway" and think it is quality and healthy fish because it is from Europe. I was always told that Europe has great food restrictions to avoid things like this, but I guess money specks louder. Now with the sushi industry getting bigger and bigger I get even more concerned because most of us eat cheap sushi which I doubt its quality of growth
Kurt Oddekalv was an amazing guy who loved nature and animals. Sadly, he died January this year, after falling through the ice while trying to save his dog. (RIP 1957 - 2021)
Thank God for WWII. That war sent my father to SE Alaska in the army. He fell in love with the beauty of Alaska and stayed after his discharge. I was born here and grew up eating wild fish and game. We don't eat farmed fish even though it is available in some species, because we want to support our local fishermen. I cry for the rest of the world who does not live in this luxury of such a pristine place as this. Of course, everything in life is a trade-off. Long, wet winters and cool, wet summers is a challenge for many, but since I have lived here my whole life (70+ years) I am quite used to it. And then there is this outrageous cost of living here -- it makes us all aware of reusing and repairing and not so much throw away products. I think this is a good thing.
I’ve probably been eating farmed salmon for years and never knew any of this. It disgusted me so much that I don’t think I ever want to eat fish again. The chemicals and cruelty has to stop
@@80s_Boombox_Collector East coast. The supermarkets only carry 2-3 brands and they are almost always some type of farmed Atlantic Salmon if it's been pre-packaged. There is wild salmon available its just you have to look for it.
@@Invictus1293 They actually admit it's farmed? Odd. Safeway's generic private label frozen salmon is wild, and it's not all that expensive either. It says "wild caught in Alaska, product of China" whatever that means. Starkist pouch salmon is wild alaskan also, packed in Thailand. The only farmed fish I see is the stuff that's been fried and put in a box, like fish sticks.
Did you have any health problems related to eating farmed salmon 🤔? If not it must not be that bad. It's just the ethics behind it that are the problem.
Just watched this incredibly shocking documentary- 6 years after it was made. I’m wondering if anything has been changed or improved? And if that would even be possible.
I belive the pellets are more and more vegetable based now, like 70/30, which has decreased pollutants. There is both a swedish and norweigan study from like a year ago that can be googled easily
"Fish brains are so simple that we have more complex computers. It's not exactly easy to feel bad for an Alexa" stated @@jussehwagner3166 The same could be said for many animals. And where are the octopus activist? They are one of the most intelligent creatures on this planet, and they regularly get ate. Delicious too.
They aren't cute. Animal activists don't actually care about animals. They just want to pretend like they are good humab beings. Horseshoe crabs are being farmed for their blood, almost to extinction for the medical business. They catch them, drain 2/3rds of the blood. Then just dump them in the ocean. Where 90% die from being too weak to recover, or get eaten because they can barely function. Not a peep from the activists or PetA and while yes Horseshoe crab blood is needed in many vaccine testing procedures -- they could protest abd petition that the crabs must be cared for until they are healthy again, and then released. Not just dumped like trash.
Humankind has constantly ignored God and His message for too long. We act in the place of God who is the creator of nature and the universe. Our sheer arrogance and total disregard for God and His son Jesus Christ have brought all these miseries and miscalculations. Science with all its 'benefits' and ramifications cannot and will never replace God's message of salvation to humankind through His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Therefore my friend if you desire to have eternal life after your short stay on earth then you must settle the sin factor through believing the atonement that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary. All humankind is born as sinners and no sinner will inherit God's kingdom. Please repent from your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ so that you can have the righteousness of God which is ONLY in Jesus.
I went to an island in Scotland called Islay 12 years ago. We were driving with our taxi cab driver when we asked about driving his cab. He said, "My first love is fishing and that's what I used to do until the Norwegians came and overfished our waters. So I drive a taxi now."
After watching this video I noticed the salmon I buy on our stores has no extra fatty tissue and it has good consistency and I asked where it comes from, its from Argentina, in 2019 Argentina and Norway signed an agreement to develop fish farms in Tierra de Fuego, the southernmost point of Argentina where the cold waters make for a good environment for the farming of salmonids. But thats not all, just a month ago Argentina became the first country in the world to ban salmon fish farms, this has yet to impact the price of salmon in my country, but I honestly will just refrain from buying salmon for the time being.
What a tangled web woven, some serious dirty practices in effect here, dirty politicians, silenced researchers... Excellent example of investigate journalism!
Thanks for creating this video and posting it. I have told friends and family to not eat farm-raised salmon, for many years, and, they continue to do so. MAYBE they will watch this and refrain from eating it in the future.
Because that's literally what they do... I would argue their special GMO wheat and soy which is resistant to the cancer-inducing weed killer "Roundup" are way more toxic than this...
Same things happening in Australia especially the Tasmanian fish farms that sell off the pristine marketing of Tasmania when in fact the fish is fed industrial waste products that actually stops the fish being salmon coloured anymore. They fix that by adding colouring into their food.
They also poisoned the neighbouring mussel farms and pollute nearby bays and national parks. Four corners did a big expose a few years back. Really worth watching.
"When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money." - Cree indian proverb
Thank you so much for this video..no more salmon on my table again...although most of supermarket foods and meats are with similar "problems" ,hence the rise in cancer and other diseases on the world population..☹️
What I don't understand is this: In Norway we have extremely strict rules about contaminants in food. Even common additives in other countries are banned here. Even if there is the slightest chance that something can have adverse health effects, companies have a set time to faze it out of their production. If it's true that these fish have incredibly high level of very toxic stuff in them, I find it hard to believe they would be sold in supermarkets here in Norway. And surely, other countries also have some rules? We eat a lot of farmed fish here, but also a lot of wild caught, and the quality is usually high in my opinion. Edit: Edit to say that what is shown in this video is obviously horrific. But having said that; is this proof that all farms are like this? Maybe most farms are better run than this, with more oversight? Chicken farms are somewhat horrible as well. Cramped quarters and force fed chickens, but if you ignore the animal wellfare (you shouldn't), they still taste great and they aren't full of pollutants. More and more though, chicken farms are transitioning to huge open areas for chicken to run free. I would hope fish farms are also transitioning more and more to healthier way to farm.
Yeah, this video is very misleading. Showing outdated practices and giving the impression that it's poison. In reality, food pellets largely consists of soy and not fish from the baltic as the video said. More often than not, farmed salmon contains less heavy metals than wild salmon, and it's perfectly safe to serve at the store :)
Our Aussie supermarkets are chock full of Norwegian farmed fish including our "home brand" fish. Australia is very strict with their laws too but have allowed our fish farms to be just as bad. The head of our largest fish farming company has admitted to all this on a Four Corners (current affairs program) expose yet still they're trading 3 years after that expose aired on public television. $$$$$$$$$$$
Human nature is corrupt and we are everywhere. We should applaud and respect the people that put their careers (and lives sometimes) at risk in order to expose this dark side of our humanity!
it's both the producers and the consumers, consumers for demanding cheap fish and producers for using unethical means to make the fish cheaper. it's the nature of unregulated capitalism though, one producer sees another doing it and he does it too to avoid being run out of business, as the consumer will choose the cheapest fish.
Missing these kind of documentaries on TV, and finding them online is harder and harder. Things like this are great for when naive people and organisations say there is no corruption in Western and especially Nordic countries. No, corruption here is called networking and "doing favours" and there's no Money every exchanged. Instead when you quit your political position you get a nice cosy job or vice versa.
Although the docu is 6 years old. It brings me to ask myself even more questions related to the seafood chain. Any other documentary or reference to educate myself is welcome. Thanks for producing and sharing!
What a top notch journalism and thorough investigations! Thank you for creating this! It opens my eyes that european origin fishes with high pricetag doesn't mean it is safe, as it could be worse. Andn labels on packages can be deceiving/act as a covered up. Hopefully more people can watch this video! Very eye opening!
Glad I found this again, this doc should be shown in schools. What is going on? I try and buy only Scottish Salmon and I like to see the whole fish and the flesh should be firm. I understand Sea Bass, they are slow growing and we even have size limits and seasons which are respected in the UK (I'm a fisherman) I was astounded, won't say the name of the super market, but the wife bought some prawns ... in very small writing ... they came from Vietnam! The baby cobs came from India and the mangetouts from Gambia! In very large writing it said "thoroughly wash before boiling"? Presumably to clean handling contamination. If you have ever been to these countries, they are still developing and toilet tissue is not a big seller. I live in the garden of England ... on an an Island! There is corn in the field at the back of my garden. What on earth is going on with our food! Use local butchers, use local fish mongers, talk to them, ask them where it came from and hold them to what they say. The Herring are back, a lovely fish, the tuna are back as well. Mackerel .. you can fillet and pin it ... totally boneless, lovely smoked. Rainbow Trout are stocked for recreation and farming in the UK and I think they are mostly triploid so sterile. They do escape in floods but cannot breed.
Every time I see one of documentaries "it makes me sick", both physically and mentally. I think about all of the foods my grandparents, great-grandparents, we all ate and how much healthier we all were. Every place, we look, we find, horrible people, making money matters over EVERYTHING. I think of all those women that were in that group and their families and my heart aches for them. I think of my children, my grandchildren, and know that is what our society is leaving for them and I can't describe the amount pain I feel. These people who have the opportunity to change this and don't care, should be fed nothing, but the "food they are selling, mislabeling for our consumption".
Well, is it any worse than melamine in baby formula ? These ppl will sell their souls for a buck. Part of the problem is over population now and high demand for cheap food. That creates huge market for Panga, Tilapia and Pollack. All have poor or questionable nutritional value. Salmon is well known for PCB containmenation and expensive. All could be poisoned or medicated so you can increase yield and governments are paid off so no one knows. Only some universities even study the food chain. The average consumer is totally ignorant. Life in a capitalistic world. I wonder if this is the case for Chilean, Canadian, American and Scottish salmon.
This people at thy running this single handed them it must be a good mafia org as big as the weed and dope industry why is this allowed to continue where arer the gov we elect to protect us agrecultir fish and food at we all at the mercy of these greedy pig .get rich quick mafia havin chicken
@Scott Johnstone Your correct in not focusing on the one farmer but they got him anyway by showing the chemical in the pellets fed to the fish, after showing the chemical being added to pellets and the color and size of the bag matching the farmers bag was a dead give away to what the farmer was using for feed.

@@chiadinwarie9444 Communism and Christianity are the most compatible, Jesus was a Communist, read the bible and see the similarities. The Bible speaks against private property and hoarding of resources and wealth in hands of single few, the Bible speaks about sharing, caring and taking care of your fellow human being! Communists should not shy away religion, we must accept them for they were the first humanitarians.
In my experience from working at a seafood department in California, a lot more people are actually conscious of this than you may think. Customers often refused to buy salmon that was not wild caught
@@Hittdogg17 the tip of regulating people into submission... I'm all for healthier foods and such but what we should be doing is moving away from mass production and providing for ourselves as much as possible. Regulations should give tax breaks to people who grow their own foods and meat and such. Not just big corporate farms and industrial fishing
Except wild salmon will often contain worms! I recently bought some wild caught salmon for the first time and while I was enjoying my meal I was greeted with a looonngggg worm/parasite. Saw holes and more worms on the other filets of fish. Wild or farmed, it seems we can't win!
Both wild and farmed could contain parasites. There's a thing called anti parasite feed that actually works for farmed fish. Do research before you buy.
My hometown here in Norway has been accepting salmon and cod farms just to earn more money, even though the town is continuing to grow in population. One disease has already been found at a salmon farm and thousands of cods have escaped in this year alone. Politicians turn a blind eye and don't care about the possible environmental damages to local fjords and rivers and how it affects wild fish populations. Know where you get your fish from.
Noticed a sudden major increase in tinnitus after eating a bunch of smoked Norwegian salmon from a major club-type store in the US. At first thought this must be unconnected because how could such a healthy food have any negative effects? But now I wonder. The change was dramatic enough that I thought it might be a sign of a general health problem and I consulted a doctor. Realize this is anecdotal but perhaps someone else has noticed this.
Weird... my mother started eating salmon almost every day at some point... shortly after she started hearing noises, music, then voices, lost equilibrium and then her mind in 2-3 years only!
Very shocking but also something that has been in the air for a long time. It is very important to raise awareness of this to the public. Cheers guys for doing these documentaries.
I bet you Lisbeth Berg-Hansen the Norwegian Minister of fisheries and coastal affairs wouldn't let her family eat this fish. But yet, she's contaminating other families. She should be ashamed of herself. Why, because of money!!! We all pay for what we do in this life. I thank the man that has exposed her and others. Thanks again for this documentary. So helpful.
Everyone knows the saying that power tends to corrupt. What should be talked about more is the psychological observation that the already corrupt are the ones most drawn to power and extreme wealth to begin with. So power is a double edged sword. I´ve come to the conclusion that psychopathy/ASPD is probably higher among the governmental and financial so called elite than in the general population. The more clever and self controlled psychopaths love power, control, and influence over others, and these types of positions are very attractive to them, plus with the side benefit and perk of extreme wealth. These types believe in the unfettered life for themselves (but not necessarily others). They are selfishness and ego personified. They don´t care about others and don´t care about consequences or long terms, except as it applies directly to themselves and those that are connected to them. Note I don´t say those that they love, as the huge majority have no idea what real love is about. At best, they experience attraction, interest, and maybe occasionally something akin to fondness, but in an ego oriented way. Such as, my son recently did really well in something and that reflects good on me, because naturally it´s my genes and upbringing that caused that. I would almost feel bad for psychopathic types except that they are causing so much harm to everyone else and to the planet. Theirs is a very empty and joyless existence. They are constantly bored, unfulfilled, and dissatisfied. No matter how much they get or accumulate, it´s never enough to fill that empty black hole where their Soul and connection to a higher power could and should be.
@XiPingpong You know that Norway has the most strict laws about pollution in the world, theres a reason we have so many electric cars, our electricity comes from hydroplants, and our industry gets heavly fined for any kind of pollutions, so much so that many factories have moved to china to be able to make a profit. We might not be angels, but we, the norwegian people, are not the cause of global warming. Agree with you on boycotting farmed salmon, and if you cheer or not for skiers i really dont care.
Thank you very much for the excellent documentary and for revealing the facts to the public. I will stop eating farmed salmon. I wonder whether legal actions can be taken to sue them.
Thank you for let us know I have Lyme disease, and every time I ate salmon I get sick. I stopped eating it. If I find wild I buy, otherwise I can’t Thank you and GOD BLESSED YOU.
OK. Buty it's a pity he does so in an echo chamber! So he is met with a closed and loced fence. There mus be something fishy (sorry) going on? Well, on the other side of that fence is what is going to be my food in some months. Do I want anybody to have access to it? I certainly does not. Neither does the authorities. Then Kurt Oddekalv presented as one of our most respected environmental activists. Yes, sure! He's just known for grinding his own axe. As an environmentalist in Norway you would expect him to drive in a zero emission car? Ehh... no, not by far! Sorry I did not waste my time watching the full video. With that intro, I pretty much assume it wil be as mileading as the intro!
@@lendalennuk2484 lol I was thinking the same thing watching this documentary. Especially when they were in Vietnam. Mr. Mihn could have made him and his crew disappear into the same river and farms there were reporting on.
I heard they change some word from the guy. The guy said its depends on the fish but they say 'yes of course'. It migh seem small but it can change people thinking
Same with the Norwegian scientist. I was trying to listen to her under this annoying narration. Everything she said was in very understandable English. She'd have to speak English if she has so many papers ready for publication IN ENGLISH!
33:17 I can't believe the guy is the foreman. He doesn't even know what Ethoxyquin is. Ethoxyquin is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative in certain countries and originally to control scald on pears after harvest. It is used as a preservative in some pet foods to slow the development of rancidity of fats So these toxic pellets are being feed back to the fish in Norway and Vietnam.
@@cosmoray9750 I also think this video is a large advertisement. especially in vietnam farm they said "they are no harmful substances at this farm"....
I used to visit Norway a few times a year and saw the beginning of fish farming . My host was very angry and frustrated, saying "this is the beginning of the end of salmon in Norway". It saddens me and I see salmon constantly on sale in the supermarkets here but at what price..it is diseased and very unhealthy. I have fished in many places in the world.. but also saw the disease you mentioned in many fjords and rivers. It's all about money..nothing else 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this video , I am an Indigenous Fijian with a bit of tropical forest with wildlife and wild yams , prawns , shrimps , fish , eels etc etc .. teaching my 16 year old grandson to build his wealth on organic food or wild food . This video clip helps him understand more about the present and the future of food is medicine , and “health is wealth .” I’m 81 years with strong bones and muscle …)))
Because we expect Them to have more control with quality. They have banned some chemicals since this doc but i only eat Lake salmons here in Europe now. Im from Denmark
@@henrik1743 technically etoxyquin never being used in fish food until this youtube video shown behind the curtain.. I wanted all my refunds from the Norway gov't for my fish purchases, cancer treatment bills, pain, and suffering from the ordeal, and ministers who were enablers to this process.. sue these corrupted ministers and their gangs
Everywhere is the same... What do you expect, world's population is rising as fast as ever (in REAL numbers, not meaningless % rates)... we can't get out hunting and gathering wild food anymore, it wouldn't be enough for 1/10,000th of the population! In a few years, even if we are all walking vegans, there won't be enough resources for all. Underground plants and labs will grow vege-meat to replace these fish farms and feed all these billions of people...
wow, this is insane. It is unbelievable how a corporation can just introduce a harmful chemical into the food supply without any accountability or regulatory safety study.
@@CA-sj6oo ever looked into why we have an FDA at in the first place? Pertains to Chicago when it was the center of meat processing and forced cannibalism, by way of accidents but they went the cheap route and sold it anyway. How about the fact that they have at least 10 "allowable defects" in food. Look it up seriously, and tell me hunting for food doesn't sound ethical now. CRAZY
Did you ever think that fish are not naturally in a rats diet? How about that salmon is very high in many different kinds of fatty acids? If this were a real study, they would also have a group of rats that ate organic wild caught salmon. I can guarantee, that if the rats ate organic wild caught salmon, they would have the same fatty tissue deposits in their abdomen.
Does it surprise anyone that Monsanto has found a way to poison yet another dietary source? I'm not. Also, man this video hurt. My grandmother is off the boat from Sweden and the Nordic region of countries has always been emphasized as wholesome healthy countries in my home growing up. What in the hell haooened?
O still want to get there to do the Stockholm to Gothenburg canal cruise. I hear it's beautiful. And the places you stop and eat and are beyond great. One day, I'll see for myself.
I went keto and now full carnivore but when I was keto I ate a lot of Salmon, in fact several times a week. However eventually I decided to go full carnivore and cut out any possibly processed or unnatural foods too. I also started intermittent fasting but I found when I tried to eat salmon again after some time not eating it, it made me feel incredibly nauseous and did not leave me feeling like I had eaten something my body appreciated. I am so glad I stopped after watching this, I kinda knew farmed fish/prawns etc were not good but man, this is beyond evil and immoral
I mean, meat industry/supermarket meat isn't any better. Unless you get your meat from very specific sources like smaller eco-friendly farms/family businesses, local hunters or similar, you don't eat any bit healthier. The myriads of meds, antibiotics, synthetic hormones, etc. will remain in the meat and no cooking will get fully rid of that. There is nothing natural or good about industrial farming.
This same issue is in every single meat out there, be it chicken, fish, cow, goat. They add additional hormones to increase the fat and sell more by weight.
No they don't. In my country there's a limit on numbers per hectare to prevent disease and antibiotic use on land animals and barn chickens. Don't assume every country is evil.
@@cincin4515just because it doesn't apply to your small subset of the world, doesn't mean it doesn't apply to the rest. The majority of the world is run by evil profit-seeking organizations, not by good people.

Re ethoxyquin - if this compound is only added to fishfood to prevent fats from going rancid it might be omitted if the pellets are kept cool. No ethoxyquin in butter (I hope) and butterfat is prevented from going rancid by storing the butter at cool temperatures. This would make fishpellet production and storage more elaborate and presumably also more costly. But if a toxic substance can be removed it might be worth it. I have stoped eating farmed fish years ago. Fortunately where I live fishmonger must indicate if the fish they are selling are wild catch or farmed. If wild catch they must indicate where and by what method the fish were caught.
I'm from Hardanger in Norway. The river in my hometown used to be one of the best salmon rivers in the country and it has been completely destroyed by fish farms. The vast majority of salmon are now escaped farm fish full of parasites. A few years ago me and my father spotted a fish in the river that was almost completely white from fish lice and totally blind, he walked into the river with a spear and stabbed it, it was too frail to resist and didn't even seem aware that anyone was near. For years we have petitioned and protested to no avail, the farm companies act like they own the fjords. Please don't buy farmed salmon, when you do you're helping to destroy a fjord that is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Bruh, my Costco sometimes like once a year has Alaskan king salmon but the rest is Atlantic farmed salmon. How do I get salmon then? I’ll spend more money for wild and fresh salmon but it just not available.
@RO RO don’t have a fishing license and salmon in California isn’t easy and I have studies and not allowed to waste time on fishing. I would like to go fishing but I haven’t found the time yet.
I had no idea! I assumed if it said from Norway that it could be trusted!!!
Just don't eat farmed salmon, for yourself if not for the world.
@Axel Stabursvik let me guess, you work at a fish farm?
Well crap. I just feel in love with smoked salmon from the supermarkets here in Germany, thinking it was healthy. Package clearly states, "farm raised in Norway". Done eating that stuff forever. Kudos to the investigative team, great work.
Lösch Kudos aus deinem Wortschatz bitte. Das ist das dümmste Wort der Welt 😅
Danach kommt direkt 'lecker' 😅😅
Tit.
I just bought Norwegian smoked smoked salmon from Aldi’s (Florida) a few weeks ago. Afterwards I looked at the ingredients, and googled them. Although minor compared to what I’ve just witnessed, they also use an additive that makes the flesh a deeper red.
@@enricod2061 very expensive but very good
Part of the problem is this
Meanwhile the Swedish food safety institute (Livsmedelverket) is recommending Norwegian farmed salmon and it is literally even saying it recommends it for children. The corruption is insane.
It's the major player in Australian supermarkets too. Norwegian farmed found in fine print on all the packaging.
They're a global monster.
Well those countries are also contaminated with Nazism which is more dangerous than the salmon they produce.
I thought Sweden is less corrupted than a rest of the world.
This issue is the same with every farmed fish, they swim in their own poop and have to be kept "healthy" by adding pesticides and drugs. Wild caught fish can also be problematic though, thanks to humanity polluting the seas more and more, it's a sad state of affairs and today we should stay clear of most fish, it is no longer a healthy food.
horrible
I grew up (in France) thinking Norway smoked salmon was the delicacy and we always had that for Xmas eve and other special dinners. I even continued that tradition in the USA with my new family. I stopped couple years ago after seeing this and many other reports. thank you for the investigation team.
It is totally safe to eat. This video is full of errors.
@@3fmnorge brought to you by the "Norwegian Slamon Federation" - no really there are tons of farm fish journalism sounding the alarm for a reason... you are what you eat. I catch mine wild, thank you very much...

There are good Salmon farms in Scotland where the tidal stream scour the farms, but there is no doubt that livestock kept in pens are going to get lice etc. Need pesticides.
I now only eat cod fish fingers which are caught by factory ships in the oceans.
The last wild Salmon, I had, wasthirty years ago, it was from a crofter it was poached from the landowner, wonderfull fish.
Norwegian farmed salmon is safe to eat. It actually contains less toxins than wild salmon. This "documentary" is a smear campaign.
Nothing wrong with genetically modified fish, only the other day I had a lovely leg of salmon

Brillant remark, not wasted to anyone.
How to you know it is not farmed.
The joke is that all wild fish has plastic in them, because of the plastic in the ocean.
Don't worry, pesticide is delicious ~
I just started buying farm raised salmon from Trader Joe’s bc it’s so affordable. I should’ve known why. A few days ago, I saw a clip about the fish being injected with pink/orange dye to mimic healthy salmon. That, combined with this video, is my sign to absolutely never buy or consume farm raised salmon (or any other type of fish). Great reporting!
I always buy wild caught salmon
The problem is also that "wild caught" label. The fish farm sets up nets farther out. Then the fish are let go out of the farm. The fish swimming in the "wild water" are caught up by the nets for that wild caught label. But it was still farm raised.
Yes, so toxic, and they don't care😮😢
Stocked, or hatchery trout usually taste like liver pellets. Up here in ME we usually dont eat stockies.
Never really liked the taste.@@naekosl3059
There is a clear physical difference between farm and wild salmon
I used to live in Nordfjord on the West Land coast, where the salmon is farmed. I will never forget the indignation of Norwegian officials when France declared their "healthy" salmon a health hazard. Shame on you, Norway

Anytime basic human needs are treated as a marketplace. The human is forgotten.

Yes it has been great. Basic things taken for granted today were luxury items for the rich back then. Poor families in southern Italy were selling their daughters for a stick of salami.
If you can grow your own fruits, vegetables, herbs, its a bit more natural. However some seed may be GM too.

Before visiting Norway, I thought it is there where you can sample one of the best salmon. It's akin to visiting Kobe for wagyu. But when I visited Tromso, I got the privilege to tour the western islands near Tromso. My tour guide pointed out the negatives of fish farms specifically the farm practices as we pass by salmon farms along the fjords. Needless to say, I left Norway without sampling a parcel of Norwegian salmon.
it's so chilling that a lot of us norwegians, like me, never heard about this...

You have been feeding your son the wrong type of farmed salmon. When you buy farmed salmon you should buy salmon with a QR or other code on the pack. You can scan it and trace the salmon from it hatched to it was slaughtered and packed, it will tell you everything from what it ate to what kind of vaccination or medicine it recieved during it’s lifetime.
It’s the same with beef. Some of it is good quality and trackable, and some of it should not be eaten.

What a shock to see this happening off such a country as Norway.A country that I always thought of as pristine & pure with the most healthy seafood.

is way different...highly socialized like most of Scandinavia. Residents are apportioned a certain amt from the oil industry like in Alaska.

Everything comes from the gov't. So although it's a more relaxed system...the freedoms are less it socialization. Not sure if That's
so pristine!

I used to see fewer trip-boats out of New Bedford...now...all of a sudden there are lots more boat ...(draggers, mostly).
The day boats have increased
in areas closer to The Cape.
I thought we were out of fish here. Perhaps, I'm reading the signs wrong (I'm just looking. at boats anchored up in "fishing harbors"). Actually lots more reasons that could be...but you'd have to know the industry better to look deeper.
So, perhaps there's always a back story to what we're hearing. One wk they declare a certain food product healthy...next wk it's something else! We've all long wondered abt the politics of
the food industry.
I tend to notice things others don't see. My grandparents
had a sm. farm in NH. Farming
had always been a way of life in our family. Many 2nd to 4th gen. from that particular branch have continued in the dairy/beef/show cattle industry. When I read abt my cousin's efforts to wag the big
political dog backing the dairy
industry ...I was amazed, to stay in business all the hoops a farmer has to jump thru.
The wife runs a gourmet quality bed 'n breakfast, farm stay-cation business. Her husband runs a "Cabot" farm.
One of the brothers was a Prof. (now ret'd.)... had his doctorate in dairy cow nutrition. Pics of the prize-winning cows from "the farm" amazed me! They bear no resemblance to my grandads 28 cow dairy barn.
Grand-dad's son owned a 600 acre spred when he sold out and ret'd. One of his 4 boys has 200 milking head...others are out pasturing or abt to birth/freshen. Birthing takes place on cam...if help is called for they're there in nanno seconds. Calves are carefully tended. Where my grand-dad didn't mess w. the bulls...they were gone the next day! One of the cousins has a
sm. beef operation. It's a business. Fishing, dairy, beef,
cheese.
Just a peak behind the scenes on the production side of things. My cousins, along w. their sons and grandson's have a far different life...full of politics, boards. and agencies.
There are phone calls, board meetings, travel to the capital, hearings and inspections. There are county fairs to attend and 4H and FFA youngsters to groom into farming as a way of life.
If neglect is your operating procedure you'll not win. These are different times!
Many communities in blue state Mass have had to obtain a "certain designation" as "Right to Farm Communities".
Sounds strange to me.
My cousins live in Vt.
Where I live Oyster farms rule!
It's quiet here but the tourists raise a ruckus now and then!
Everything is so different now.
One of my son's has the most lucrative trades co. in the county. He's farming too!
His farm is the local Tech...an honors school. He's a grad ...probably one of the best. He's sharp, well-read, stats-oriented. He travels to gain working knowledge, serves on a town board, an advisory board at Tech and
runs a corp. worth many millions...one of 3. A young guy in his early 40's. He farms
the plumbing shop and eagerly awaits each June and the birthing of new plumbers and HVAC's.
Life is different today!
Tech has become one of the top ten secondary schools in Mass. instead of being a warehouse for boys who couldn't make it anywhere else.
This is technology...a new age in work, and food production.
They were just given a farm ...so food production will
reign once more in our county.
Already we have veggie farms
that supply the farmers mkts in ea. sm. town.
This is an age of change, integration and sustainability.
More folks w. animals are getting into Perrmaculture.
Stay educated. ... there is a fish farm in Scotland that produces excellent fresh salmon and sells at a high end market in out town. The taste
and texture are top drawer.
Perhaps there's a "doctor" ?(A fish nutrition Phd) in the house!
Sorry so long but the subject deserves a wider look!
Unfortunately, most don't have the time or energy to pursue
the information!
You cannot trust mankind. We are destroying ourselves.
@@carlwatts1230Grass is fertilised with nitrites. The cattle is treated with antibiotics. You think? 😔
@@carlwatts1230I have a cattle farm near us, they used to have organic chicken and organic beef. They had a fairly small stock. Then, they expanded. First, their chicken were not organic anymore. Then, they had so many cows that the grass on their fields do not regenerate as fast as they need it to. Now, they told me that they needed to use nitrate to fertilise the grass. Not organic anymore. End of story. They lost me as their client. But where to go to buy? I am buying from supermarkets, organic. But, how certain can we be that it is organic? So sad....
I live in Belgium. The super markets here offer farm raised Scottish, Norwegian and rarely wild Alaskan salmon. The meat of farm raised salmon is neither firm or flavorful, rather slimy and gelatinous. Once you taste wild salmon, you notice the difference immediately. I toured a Norwegian fjord fishing farm several years ago, interesting tour. There is controversy in fish farming; the precarious products fed to fish, the denuding of the sea bottom and the poor quality of meat due to lower oxygen content of the water and fish unable to use their muscles to swim long distances.
Did someone test Australian fish farms like TASSI selling what they call a salmon responsibly.......

@@DR_1_1
World population is setup to collapse already. Not by some WWF gloom and doom bs about resources but because of demographics. Urbanization changes human behavior. Birth rates of all urbanized places have crashed.
Economic development always leads to urbanization and that will cap population growth.
Apart from the toxic chemicals that are used, salmon farming is causing massive problems for wild Atlantic salmon. Huge build ups of parasites such as sea lice and tonnes of fish excrement from the cages on the beds of sea lochs, rendering the areas virtually dead to sea life. The decline of Atlantic salmon populations on the west side of Scotland show an exact correlation with the start and expansion of salmon farming over the last four decades.
Add to that the escapees mixing with wild fish and ruining the genetics of future generations of wild fish.
Not sure if I'm supposed to like this video or dislike it. Great work. I immediately stopped eating salmon when I saw this back in the days. Great documentary. It's so crazy where we are.
I can’t even finish watching this documentary because it is too distressing to see what we have become
Not we. Don't buy it. Don't eat it.
People who are not aware, like I was, look at those packages "From norway" and think it is quality and healthy fish because it is from Europe. I was always told that Europe has great food restrictions to avoid things like this, but I guess money specks louder. Now with the sushi industry getting bigger and bigger I get even more concerned because most of us eat cheap sushi which I doubt its quality of growth
There are good regulations in europe, but not for food that gets exported. They only need to listen to the rules of whichever country imports it

Thank God for WWII. That war sent my father to SE Alaska in the army. He fell in love with the beauty of Alaska and stayed after his discharge. I was born here and grew up eating wild fish and game. We don't eat farmed fish even though it is available in some species, because we want to support our local fishermen. I cry for the rest of the world who does not live in this luxury of such a pristine place as this. Of course, everything in life is a trade-off. Long, wet winters and cool, wet summers is a challenge for many, but since I have lived here my whole life (70+ years) I am quite used to it. And then there is this outrageous cost of living here -- it makes us all aware of reusing and repairing and not so much throw away products. I think this is a good thing.
So if the main source of pollution comes from the dry feed pellets, chances are that all farmed fish are eating the same poison.
Makes me feel I don’t want to eat anything anymore.
Same here
I’ve probably been eating farmed salmon for years and never knew any of this. It disgusted me so much that I don’t think I ever want to eat fish again. The chemicals and cruelty has to stop

@@Invictus1293 They actually admit it's farmed? Odd. Safeway's generic private label frozen salmon is wild, and it's not all that expensive either. It says "wild caught in Alaska, product of China" whatever that means. Starkist pouch salmon is wild alaskan also, packed in Thailand. The only farmed fish I see is the stuff that's been fried and put in a box, like fish sticks.
Did you have any health problems related to eating farmed salmon 🤔? If not it must not be that bad. It's just the ethics behind it that are the problem.

They catch them, drain 2/3rds of the blood. Then just dump them in the ocean. Where 90% die from being too weak to recover, or get eaten because they can barely function.

I went to an island in Scotland called Islay 12 years ago. We were driving with our taxi cab driver when we asked about driving his cab. He said, "My first love is fishing and that's what I used to do until the Norwegians came and overfished our waters. So I drive a taxi now."
Scary stuff! Thank you for uncovering this and educating the public.
After watching this video I noticed the salmon I buy on our stores has no extra fatty tissue and it has good consistency and I asked where it comes from, its from Argentina, in 2019 Argentina and Norway signed an agreement to develop fish farms in Tierra de Fuego, the southernmost point of Argentina where the cold waters make for a good environment for the farming of salmonids.
But thats not all, just a month ago Argentina became the first country in the world to ban salmon fish farms, this has yet to impact the price of salmon in my country, but I honestly will just refrain from buying salmon for the time being.
What a tangled web woven, some serious dirty practices in effect here, dirty politicians, silenced researchers...

Same things happening in Australia especially the Tasmanian fish farms that sell off the pristine marketing of Tasmania when in fact the fish is fed industrial waste products that actually stops the fish being salmon coloured anymore. They fix that by adding colouring into their food.
They also poisoned the neighbouring mussel farms and pollute nearby bays and national parks. Four corners did a big expose a few years back. Really worth watching.

Thank you so much for this video..no more salmon on my table again...although most of supermarket foods and meats are with similar "problems" ,hence the rise in cancer and other diseases on the world population..☹️
What I don't understand is this: In Norway we have extremely strict rules about contaminants in food. Even common additives in other countries are banned here. Even if there is the slightest chance that something can have adverse health effects, companies have a set time to faze it out of their production.
If it's true that these fish have incredibly high level of very toxic stuff in them, I find it hard to believe they would be sold in supermarkets here in Norway. And surely, other countries also have some rules? We eat a lot of farmed fish here, but also a lot of wild caught, and the quality is usually high in my opinion.
Edit: Edit to say that what is shown in this video is obviously horrific. But having said that; is this proof that all farms are like this? Maybe most farms are better run than this, with more oversight? Chicken farms are somewhat horrible as well. Cramped quarters and force fed chickens, but if you ignore the animal wellfare (you shouldn't), they still taste great and they aren't full of pollutants. More and more though, chicken farms are transitioning to huge open areas for chicken to run free. I would hope fish farms are also transitioning more and more to healthier way to farm.
I wonder about all this too. I haven't eaten salmon in years, so would love to know whether anything has changed. I miss eating salmon 😔
Yeah, this video is very misleading. Showing outdated practices and giving the impression that it's poison. In reality, food pellets largely consists of soy and not fish from the baltic as the video said. More often than not, farmed salmon contains less heavy metals than wild salmon, and it's perfectly safe to serve at the store :)
Our Aussie supermarkets are chock full of Norwegian farmed fish including our "home brand" fish.
Australia is very strict with their laws too but have allowed our fish farms to be just as bad. The head of our largest fish farming company has admitted to all this on a Four Corners (current affairs program) expose yet still they're trading 3 years after that expose aired on public television.

it's both the producers and the consumers, consumers for demanding cheap fish and producers for using unethical means to make the fish cheaper. it's the nature of unregulated capitalism though, one producer sees another doing it and he does it too to avoid being run out of business, as the consumer will choose the cheapest fish.

Glad I found this again, this doc should be shown in schools. What is going on? I try and buy only Scottish Salmon and I like to see the whole fish and the flesh should be firm. I understand Sea Bass, they are slow growing and we even have size limits and seasons which are respected in the UK (I'm a fisherman) I was astounded, won't say the name of the super market, but the wife bought some prawns ... in very small writing ... they came from Vietnam! The baby cobs came from India and the mangetouts from Gambia! In very large writing it said "thoroughly wash before boiling"? Presumably to clean handling contamination. If you have ever been to these countries, they are still developing and toilet tissue is not a big seller.
I live in the garden of England ... on an an Island! There is corn in the field at the back of my garden. What on earth is going on with our food! Use local butchers, use local fish mongers, talk to them, ask them where it came from and hold them to what they say. The Herring are back, a lovely fish, the tuna are back as well. Mackerel .. you can fillet and pin it ... totally boneless, lovely smoked.
Rainbow Trout are stocked for recreation and farming in the UK and I think they are mostly triploid so sterile. They do escape in floods but cannot breed.
Every time I see one of documentaries "it makes me sick", both physically and mentally.

I think of my children, my grandchildren, and know that is what our society is leaving for them and I can't describe the amount pain I feel. These people who have the opportunity to change this and don't care, should be fed nothing, but the "food they are selling, mislabeling for our consumption".

Well, is it any worse than melamine in baby formula ? These ppl will sell their souls for a buck. Part of the problem is over population now and high demand for cheap food. That creates huge market for Panga, Tilapia and Pollack. All have poor or questionable nutritional value. Salmon is well known for PCB containmenation and expensive. All could be poisoned or medicated so you can increase yield and governments are paid off so no one knows. Only some universities even study the food chain. The average consumer is totally ignorant. Life in a capitalistic world. I wonder if this is the case for Chilean, Canadian, American and Scottish salmon.
My neighbor told me, "Worry about my grandchildren? Why would l do that? They can deal with it."

@Scott Johnstone Your correct in not focusing on the one farmer but they got him anyway by showing the chemical in the pellets fed to the fish, after showing the chemical being added to pellets and the color and size of the bag matching the farmers bag was a dead give away to what the farmer was using for feed.

In my experience from working at a seafood department in California, a lot more people are actually conscious of this than you may think. Customers often refused to buy salmon that was not wild caught

@@Hittdogg17 the tip of regulating people into submission... I'm all for healthier foods and such but what we should be doing is moving away from mass production and providing for ourselves as much as possible. Regulations should give tax breaks to people who grow their own foods and meat and such. Not just big corporate farms and industrial fishing
Except wild salmon will often contain worms! I recently bought some wild caught salmon for the first time and while I was enjoying my meal I was greeted with a looonngggg worm/parasite. Saw holes and more worms on the other filets of fish. Wild or farmed, it seems we can't win!
Both wild and farmed could contain parasites. There's a thing called anti parasite feed that actually works for farmed fish. Do research before you buy.
My hometown here in Norway has been accepting salmon and cod farms just to earn more money, even though the town is continuing to grow in population.
One disease has already been found at a salmon farm and thousands of cods have escaped in this year alone. Politicians turn a blind eye and don't care about the possible environmental damages to local fjords and rivers and how it affects wild fish populations. Know where you get your fish from.
NRK has an article about the horror at Lerøy salmon farm today, this is just an example. The horror goes on and on.

Noticed a sudden major increase in tinnitus after eating a bunch of smoked Norwegian salmon from a major club-type store in the US. At first thought this must be unconnected because how could such a healthy food have any negative effects? But now I wonder.
The change was dramatic enough that I thought it might be a sign of a general health problem and I consulted a doctor.
Realize this is anecdotal but perhaps someone else has noticed this.
Weird... my mother started eating salmon almost every day at some point... shortly after she started hearing noises, music, then voices, lost equilibrium and then her mind in 2-3 years only!
Very shocking but also something that has been in the air for a long time. It is very important to raise awareness of this to the public. Cheers guys for doing these documentaries.
I bet you Lisbeth Berg-Hansen the Norwegian Minister of fisheries and coastal affairs wouldn't let her family eat this fish. But yet, she's contaminating other families. She should be ashamed of herself. Why, because of money!!! We all pay for what we do in this life. I thank the man that has exposed her and others. Thanks again for this documentary. So helpful.
Everyone knows the saying that power tends to corrupt. What should be talked about more is the psychological observation that the already corrupt are the ones most drawn to power and extreme wealth to begin with. So power is a double edged sword.
I´ve come to the conclusion that psychopathy/ASPD is probably higher among the governmental and financial so called elite than in the general population. The more clever and self controlled psychopaths love power, control, and influence over others, and these types of positions are very attractive to them, plus with the side benefit and perk of extreme wealth.
These types believe in the unfettered life for themselves (but not necessarily others). They are selfishness and ego personified. They don´t care about others and don´t care about consequences or long terms, except as it applies directly to themselves and those that are connected to them. Note I don´t say those that they love, as the huge majority have no idea what real love is about. At best, they experience attraction, interest, and maybe occasionally something akin to fondness, but in an ego oriented way. Such as, my son recently did really well in something and that reflects good on me, because naturally it´s my genes and upbringing that caused that.
I would almost feel bad for psychopathic types except that they are causing so much harm to everyone else and to the planet. Theirs is a very empty and joyless existence. They are constantly bored, unfulfilled, and dissatisfied. No matter how much they get or accumulate, it´s never enough to fill that empty black hole where their Soul and connection to a higher power could and should be.

Investigative journalism. One of the world's dangerous professions.
@@lendalennuk2484 lol I was thinking the same thing watching this documentary. Especially when they were in Vietnam. Mr. Mihn could have made him and his crew disappear into the same river and farms there were reporting on.
Thank you for the investigative journalism! Everyone should watch this!
This same topic was brought to light years ago regarding Scottish salmon farms. I haven’t eaten the stuff since
Thanks for sharing this very important information.This is what I call real journalism.
I couldn't agree more!

It's investigative journalism, the other is just reporting and and complex makeup and fashion decisions. 😁
Lol the guy in Vietnam speaking perfectly understandable English with a narrator translating over him.
I heard they change some word from the guy. The guy said its depends on the fish but they say 'yes of course'. It migh seem small but it can change people thinking
Same with the Norwegian scientist. I was trying to listen to her under this annoying narration. Everything she said was in very understandable English. She'd have to speak English if she has so many papers ready for publication IN ENGLISH!
33:17 I can't believe the guy is the foreman. He doesn't even know what Ethoxyquin is.
Ethoxyquin is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative in certain countries and originally to control scald on pears after harvest. It is used as a preservative in some pet foods to slow the development of rancidity of fats
So these toxic pellets are being feed back to the fish in Norway and Vietnam.
@@cosmoray9750 I also think this video is a large advertisement. especially in vietnam farm they said "they are no harmful substances at this farm"....

I used to visit Norway a few times a year and saw the beginning of fish farming . My host was very angry and frustrated, saying "this is the beginning of the end of salmon in Norway". It saddens me and I see salmon constantly on sale in the supermarkets here but at what price..it is diseased and very unhealthy. I have fished in many places in the world.. but also saw the disease you mentioned in many fjords and rivers. It's all about money..nothing else 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this video , I am an Indigenous Fijian with a bit of tropical forest with wildlife and wild yams , prawns , shrimps , fish , eels etc etc .. teaching my 16 year old grandson to build his wealth on organic food or wild food .
This video clip helps him understand more about the present and the future of food is medicine , and “health is wealth .”

And here in Singapore, Nowegian Salmon is selling at a prestige price that many housewife and chef are not aware of this.
Because we expect Them to have more control with quality. They have banned some chemicals since this doc but i only eat Lake salmons here in Europe now. Im from Denmark
etoxyquin is no longer being used in fishfood in Norway and has been illegal to use in fishfood since juli 2020
It’s half the price of other salmon here in Thailand.
@@henrik1743 Can you at least provide a link or source? Since I can't find it on google.
@@henrik1743 technically etoxyquin never being used in fish food until this youtube video shown behind the curtain.. I wanted all my refunds from the Norway gov't for my fish purchases, cancer treatment bills, pain, and suffering from the ordeal, and ministers who were enablers to this process.. sue these corrupted ministers and their gangs
The heck!! All this time I thought when I bought Salmon from Norway it was healthy and safe
Exactly
It probably is
Turns out their salmon has just as much capitalism in it as American salmon - if not more!
I also used to pick out the darkest/brightest orange. Turns out, that just means more dye 🤦♀️
I watched this 4 years ago..and talipia bad too
It is exactly the same situation in Tasmania, Australia, where our coastal waters, estuaries and harbours are being polluted by Atlantic Salmon farms.
Everywhere is the same...
What do you expect, world's population is rising as fast as ever (in REAL numbers, not meaningless % rates)... we can't get out hunting and gathering wild food anymore, it wouldn't be enough for 1/10,000th of the population!
In a few years, even if we are all walking vegans, there won't be enough resources for all. Underground plants and labs will grow vege-meat to replace these fish farms and feed all these billions of people...
Thank you! This documentary is amazing!
wow, this is insane. It is unbelievable how a corporation can just introduce a harmful chemical into the food supply without any accountability or regulatory safety study.
This has been done since earth exists. New inventions normally cause enthusiasm. Like xrays e.g. The harmful side is found later.

@@CA-sj6oo ever looked into why we have an FDA at in the first place? Pertains to Chicago when it was the center of meat processing and forced cannibalism, by way of accidents but they went the cheap route and sold it anyway. How about the fact that they have at least 10 "allowable defects" in food. Look it up seriously, and tell me hunting for food doesn't sound ethical now. CRAZY
Thank God there's people who are willing to do good deeds like this these are the real heroes of the world 🌎 Thank You ❤
Your welcome, we try our best to do what we can.
You're welcome
Did you ever think that fish are not naturally in a rats diet? How about that salmon is very high in many different kinds of fatty acids? If this were a real study, they would also have a group of rats that ate organic wild caught salmon. I can guarantee, that if the rats ate organic wild caught salmon, they would have the same fatty tissue deposits in their abdomen.
@@authenticufo4822 I personally do not like this documentary, but the message u
s nonetheless correct. Do not buy fish from certain places.
@@sm3675 Don’t buy fish from the Baltic Sea, and don’t eat fish pellets
Thank you for this video 🙏 You warn and help lots of people!
Highly informative and educational documentary! Thanks a lot.
Incredibly shocking... we've been consuming Norwegian Salmon for years now.
Thanks for the exposure.
Sryn1 You know This is propaganda right
@@hermanjohnsen3653 you know your reply is just factory fish farming paying you to say it's not real
LordMantis101 not really im a kid, i know its farmed fish because they sell it in the store as farmed fish in norway.
this video is as wrong as it could possably be. it's propaganda to stop fish farming
LordMantis101 I want to be paid money for youtube replies. but like the other guy said its propaganda its basically the same as that movie blackfish.
Does it surprise anyone that Monsanto has found a way to poison yet another dietary source? I'm not. Also, man this video hurt. My grandmother is off the boat from Sweden and the Nordic region of countries has always been emphasized as wholesome healthy countries in my home growing up. What in the hell haooened?
It's a long story man
Most all places were wholesome and healthy previously and that has now changed everywhere as well.
Money happened brother

O still want to get there to do the Stockholm to Gothenburg canal cruise. I hear it's beautiful. And the places you stop and eat and are beyond great. One day, I'll see for myself.
I went keto and now full carnivore but when I was keto I ate a lot of Salmon, in fact several times a week. However eventually I decided to go full carnivore and cut out any possibly processed or unnatural foods too. I also started intermittent fasting but I found when I tried to eat salmon again after some time not eating it, it made me feel incredibly nauseous and did not leave me feeling like I had eaten something my body appreciated.
I am so glad I stopped after watching this, I kinda knew farmed fish/prawns etc were not good but man, this is beyond evil and immoral
I mean, meat industry/supermarket meat isn't any better. Unless you get your meat from very specific sources like smaller eco-friendly farms/family businesses, local hunters or similar, you don't eat any bit healthier. The myriads of meds, antibiotics, synthetic hormones, etc. will remain in the meat and no cooking will get fully rid of that.
There is nothing natural or good about industrial farming.
Thank you for making all this delicious fish! I will eat it now, more than ever. The world needs food, and this is great!
True heroes in this documentary. True journalism that serves to protect the public at large. Thank you 🏆

Apart from being more than deeply worries about all this, this is some of the best investigativw journalism i have aene in a while!!!
This same issue is in every single meat out there, be it chicken, fish, cow, goat. They add additional hormones to increase the fat and sell more by weight.
No they don't. In my country there's a limit on numbers per hectare to prevent disease and antibiotic use on land animals and barn chickens. Don't assume every country is evil.
@@cincin4515just because it doesn't apply to your small subset of the world, doesn't mean it doesn't apply to the rest. The majority of the world is run by evil profit-seeking organizations, not by good people.
Why am I not surprised to hear that Monsanto's name turns up in the middle of all this.
Humankind has constantly ignored God and His message for too long. We act in the place of God who is the creator of nature and the universe. Our sheer arrogance and total disregard for God and His son Jesus Christ have brought all these miseries and miscalculations. Science with all its 'benefits' and ramifications cannot and will never replace God's message of salvation to humankind through His only begotten son Jesus Christ.
Therefore my friend if you desire to have eternal life after your short stay on earth then you must settle the sin factor through believing the atonement that Jesus Christ made on the cross of Calvary. All humankind is born as sinners and no sinner will inherit God's kingdom.
Please repent from your sins and give your life to Jesus Christ so that you can have the righteousness of God which is ONLY in Jesus.
One day Monsanto's will own the rights to human GMO's , sounds crazy but it may be a reality .

WOW!!!!!!! What an eye opener. Thanks for all of your hard work to bring this to the attention of the public.
Re ethoxyquin - if this compound is only added to fishfood to prevent fats from going rancid it might be omitted if the pellets are kept cool. No ethoxyquin in butter (I hope) and butterfat is prevented from going rancid by storing the butter at cool temperatures. This would make fishpellet production and storage more elaborate and presumably also more costly. But if a toxic substance can be removed it might be worth it. I have stoped eating farmed fish years ago. Fortunately where I live fishmonger must indicate if the fish they are selling are wild catch or farmed. If wild catch they must indicate where and by what method the fish were caught.
Grand work Marcus.......never trusted farmed fish but thanks for the confirmation.
