>salmon farming is responsible for the decline of wild salmon stocks.

there is not a single piece of scientific evidence to support this. wild salmon stocks have been in decline long before salmon farming existed, and are in uniform decline everywhere, including places where there is no salmon farming.
studies conducted in norway found salmon farming was responsible for a 1% loss of wild stocks. a 5 year study commissioned by the canadian goverment found salmon farming had a negligible impact on wild salmon numbers (the canadian government then decided to ignore the result of their own study and have banned open-water salmon farming anyway).
This is just one of the many lies vegan activists have successfully propelled into the mainstream in regards to salmon farming.
Salmon farmings' low visibility and low public awareness make it an easy target.


what else are they lying about? how about the cows and co2?
