Protesters oppose fish farming after salmon deaths in Tasmania

Protesters gathered at Verona Sands, Tasmania, to oppose industrial fish farming after dead salmon washed ashore last month. The fish deaths were linked to a bacterial outbreak affecting local salmon farms. The protest, organized by Neighbours of Fish Farming, highlighted concerns over transparency and environmental impact. Attendees expressed dissatisfaction with the industry's practices and called for better information and accountability. Tasmania's Premier stated that most residents support the salmon industry, despite recent controversies. The RSPCA has suspended certification for Huon Aquaculture following footage showing improper disposal of fish.
