Eating farmed salmon is not justifiable

In an article about farmed salmon by K-Tipp No. 15 of 18 September 2024, our fish biologist, Yannick Rohrer gives tips on eating fish. Given the major problems in salmon farming, farmed salmon is not justifiable. But even wild-caught salmon is problematic because Atlantic salmon is on the list of endangered species. In the Pacific, there are some healthy other stocks of salmon species, for example in Alaska and Canada. However, it is difficult to find fishes from such stocks in shops. The declaration requirements are too poor for this. fair‑fish takes the position that wild fish from non-endangered stocks of the European anchovy and the king mackerel are acceptable. Even more ethical and environmentally friendly are mainly herbivorous fishes such as carp and tilapia from extensive pond farming.

We are passionate about aquatic animals and are committed to the welfare and protection of these fascinating creatures. Our goal is to change people's awareness of fishes, cephalopods, malacostracta, etc. so that they are perceived as living creatures and not just suppliers of protein. We want to give a voice to these supposedly mute animals, billions of which lose their lives every year, either directly for human consumption or as food for other animals.
