Paperback. Condition: New. Eat more fish, the doctors say. But is the salmon you are consuming really healthy?  In the early 1970s, a group of scientists researched how to make more food for the growing population of the world. They looked to the sea. They sampled genes from salmon in 41 Norwegian and Swedish rivers and designed a new salmon that was fatter and faster growing. This was considered an amazing innovation and was the beginning of a new industry: salmon farming. The industry spread from coastal Norway to Scotland, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the United States. Business boomed, jobs were created, and a new type of food, the farmed salmon, spread around the globe. People everywhere bought and enjoyed the abundant fish: grilled, poached, roasted, and as sushi and sashimi. They were grateful for this delicious, affordable protein. But at what cost?  We now know that there were unintended consequences: some of these new fish escaped, competing for sustenance with other fish in the sea. The new fish spread diseases, salmon louse swarmed, and wild salmon stocks dwindles.  In a prizewinning five-year investigation, authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli took an in-depth look at Norway's role in the global salmon industry and, for the first time, produced a comprehensive evaluation of the detrimental effects of salmon farming. From lice to escapees, from concentrating the waste of sea pens in the fjords through which wild salmon swim to their natal streams to the fact that salmon farming causes a net reduction of protein reaped from the ocean, the results don't look good. Recent victories, such as the banning of net-pen fish farms in the waters of Washington State, are an indication that we are awakening to the environmental price of engineered fish. It is said that we will continue to make the same mistakes unless we understand them. The New Fish combines nature writing from Norwegian fjords, the coast of Canada, Icelandic landscapes and the far south of Chile with character-driven literary non-fiction and classic muckraking. The authors started with this question: What happens when you create a new animal and place it in the sea? This book will tell you the answer.…

Ocean Books, Åkersberga 2025. 365 sidor. Förlagsband. Gott skick. ISBN 9789198955927. Sammanfattning Odlad lax är ett av västvärldens mest uppskattade livsmedel - gott, lyxigt och alltid tillgängligt. Men den odlade laxens framgångssaga har en mörk baksida. På 1970-talet forskade en grupp vetenskapsmän på hur man kunde producera mer mat för världens växande befolkning. Genom att samla in gener från lax i 41 norska och svenska älvar skapade de en ny sorts lax - en som var fetare och växte snabbare. Detta var en banbrytande innovation och blev starten för en helt ny industri. När man släppte ut denna nya fisk i naturen, började stora saker hända. Kusten fick nytt liv, människor fick arbete och flera blev miljardärer. Samtidigt började problemen hopa sig. De nya fiskarna rymde och började konkurrera med andra fiskar om födan i havet. De spred sjukdomar; laxlusen ökade lavinartat och vilda laxbestånd minskade drastiskt. Hundratals ton av antibiotika vräktes ut i norska fjordar. Efter fem år av research skildrar de prisbelönta författarna Simen Sætre och Kjetil Østli hela berättelsen om den odlade laxen. För första gången sammanställde de en omfattande utvärdering av laxodlingens negativa effekter. Från laxlus till rymningar, från avföringsansamlingar i fjordarna där vildlaxen måste simma för att nå sina lekområden till det faktum att laxodling leder till en nettoförlust av protein från havet. Den odlade laxens behov av foder har lett till utfiskning i Östersjön. De ställer också frågor: Vad händer om man placerar ett nytt djur i havet? Hur påverkar det andra fiskar och arter. Varför hotas forskarna som varnar för riskerna? Vart tog försiktighetsprincipen vägen? I denna välskrivna och fängslande bok skildrar författarna de märkliga, provocerande, uppseendeväckande, mäktiga och tragiska följderna av den odlade laxen. [Bokinfo].
