Toxicologist: Norwegian salmon — the most toxic food in the world

For several months, French journalists Nicolas Daniel and Louis de Barbeyrac studied the fishing industry from the inside. They came all the way from Norway to Vietnam, visited Sweden and Denmark. The result of their investigation was the film, revealing the truth that tries to hide the "fish lobby". The investigation they started from the West of Norway, where in the countryside there are many fish farms that are engaged in artificial cultivation of salmon. The journalists met with the Norwegian activist, environmentalist and the founder of Union of nature protection of Norway Kurt Oddekalv, who believes an outrageous fact, which is hidden under the waters of the fjords.

 





 

Kurt Oddekalv a long time waging war with farmers who farmed salmon in Norway. He told the shocking details about their work.

 

"In Norway, the situation with fish is catastrophic. Fish too much: on a small farm they are grown on 2 million individuals! Fish is sick, it is now possible to talk about the pandemic: the pancreatic necrosis and infectious salmon anemia have captured the whole of Norway. But hiding it from consumers," says Kurt.

Activist monitors the largest fish farms in the last 10 years and keeps them under control, gathering evidence. He has records which show how the workers of these fish farms is poured into water a strong pesticide has a neurotoxic effect.

"They have to wear gas masks and protective suits, to avoid chemicals for treatment of water bodies from parasites, and on these farms it is not uncommon. In thissalmon you can find different chemical substances. It is threatened by poisoning, and man this is impossible", — he said.

Kurt bluntly, "Norwegian salmon — the most toxic food in the world". Fishing in Norway, brings $ 4 billion a year and ranks second after oil.

To unravel the secrets of these farms, Kurd Oddekalv uses the ship with the spy elements. "The seabed under the farms covered a 15-metre rainfall, it's crawling with bacteria — it's all leftovers from feed and waste chemicals added to kill parasites. The level of contamination is very high. Toxic substances, fish excrement... the Sea floor is completely destroyed, it is like a gas factory. The methane bubbles, and so forth, and pesticides are the identical substances which in the first world war was used in the gas attacks."

The main problem of the Norwegian fishermen — the so-called fish lice, which, parasitic on the body of the fish, could kill her. Sea louse develops resistance to all types, so fishers use pesticides, whose effectiveness is much higher.

"This is reflected negatively on the fish. So 50% of fry cod fish on farms are born with a mutation. They can't close my mouth. This gene mutation, and she disappeared in the sea must have 8 generations. Man when you see a fish, there are not want it, but if you cut off the head, then no one will notice", he said.

Salmon are also susceptible to mutation. He showed that fresh salmon meat is falling apart at the opening.

"This should not be, the meat must be elastic. As you know, wild salmon 5-7% fat, and cultured 15-34% fat. And in the fat tissue accumulate toxins. Accordingly, such fish become the most toxic in the world," he stressed.

In turn, the French toxicologist Jerome, Russin noted that in the course of his study the words of the ecologist has confirmed.

"Indeed, the degree of contamination of the grown salmon is very high. It is 5 times more harmful and toxic than any other products. These toxins must be avoided, and eating, we risk to feel their impact," he said. published
