A recent report from the Sunstone Institute highlights alarming levels of nutrient pollution from Norwegian fish farms, equating to the untreated sewage of tens of millions of people annually. Norway, the world's largest farmed salmon producer, is projected to release 75,000 tonnes of nitrogen, 13,000 tonnes of phosphorus, and 360,000 tonnes of organic carbon into its coastal waters by 2025. This pollution raises significant concerns about algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels in fjords, particularly vulnerable semi-enclosed bodies of water. The report notes that nutrient loads are highest during summer months, compounding the issue as ecosystems struggle to cope. In Sognefjord, Norway's longest fjord, increased nutrient inflows have been linked to two-thirds of oxygen depletion. Environmental experts are calling for stricter management of fish farming practices to mitigate these impacts. The Norwegian Seafood Federation emphasizes the industry's commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint while balancing food production needs.
