On The Farm
The RSPCA Standard for farmed Atlantic salmon focus on ensuring good farming practices, fish handling, husbandry and management. For good fish welfare, fish have space to swim normally in oxygen-rich water and can school with other fish, they are handled in a low stress manner and slaughtered humanely. During their life onshore or when released offshore there’s a focus on providing for salmon’s behavioural and physical needs.
