The Usage of Antibiotics and their Alternatives in Scottish Salmon Farms
Absztrakt
The potential role of fish as a means to providing a solution for diminishing land availability
as well as forming a well-balanced diet is well documented. Despite this, the public
perception of aquaculture can be coloured easily by media as well as personal experiences
with aquaculture.
The tradition of capture fisheries in Scotland has lent itself to a more negative impression of
salmon farming, when compared to countries such as Germany, where the perception of
aquaculture in media is more positive. Some major concerns about aquaculture are the
interaction of wild fish stocks as well as the environment with these potential issues having
a knock-on effect to people’s health.
