Environmentalists are calling on the Tasmanian salmon industry to explain why more than 1,000 tonnes of salmon died in fish farms in Macquarie Harbour over seven months last spring and summer.
A government document published after a request by the Neighbours of Fish Farming, a group that campaigns against commercial salmon operations, suggest 1,150 tonnes of fish died in farms in the vast harbour on the state’s west coast between September and March.
