Did the salmon farming industry tell the whole story?

Following our conversation with Mowi Scotland Managing Director, Ben Hadfield, we invited two people with first-hand experience of Scotland's salmon farming industry to respond.

Joining us are Nick Underdown, Scotland Director at WildFish, and Ailsa McLellan, a former salmon farm worker who now lives beside a Mowi salmon farm on Scotland's west coast.

Together they examine many of the claims made in our previous episode, discussing life beside an open-net salmon farm, fish welfare, sea lice, pollution, community impacts, employment, regulation and whether Scotland's current approach to salmon farming is fit for the future.

This is about hearing from people who have spent years living and working on the front line of Scotland's salmon farming industry.

In this episode:

• What it's really like living beside an open-net salmon farm
 • A former salmon farm worker's perspective from inside the industry
 • Sea lice, fish welfare and environmental regulation
 • Jobs versus community impacts
 • Why campaigners say stronger regulation is urgently needed
 • The future of salmon farming in Scotland
