A new short documentary produced by Canadian film-maker Damien Gillis could cause severe problems for the salmon farming sector, an industry already rife with controversy. “Farmed Salmon Exposed: The Global Reach of the Norwegian Salmon Farming Industry” is eerily resemblant to the film “The End of the Line,” which was released earlier this year and had quite an impact on the fishing industry.

This film claims to reveal the pervasive nature of the issues plaguing salmon aquaculture and features testimonials by witnesses discussing the environmental and socio-economic damage caused by what they call “poorly managed salmon farms" and places heavy emphasis on Cermaq and Marine Harvest.
