Norway is one of the world’s largest exporters of farmed fish – an industry that is worth billions of euros to the country’s economy. About 70% of the fish we eat today now comes from artificial fish farms. The sludge is full of the pesticides added to the feed, and new research has shown that the massive amounts of pesticide being added around the world to the marine ecosystem in fish farms is having a devastating effect on the natural ocean biodiversity.
