Mojo ♻️<p>Shocking Revelation: Tasmania's Salmon Farms at Risk for Years </p><p>As early as 2017, scientists warned the Tasmanian government about the catastrophic risk of disease wiping out fish in salmon farms. Their advice? Strengthen biosecurity measures to protect the industry. </p><p>But instead of acting, the government—under pressure from the salmon industry—weakened standards and handed out exemptions to the new biosecurity program. </p><p>Now, the consequences are unfolding. Why weren't warnings heeded? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Tasmania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tasmania</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SalmonFarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SalmonFarming</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/BiosecurityFail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BiosecurityFail</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/lobbying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lobbying</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JBSFoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JBSFoods</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environment/2025/04/12/biosecurity-warnings-ignored-the-tasmanian-salmon-industry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/e</span><span class="invisible">nvironment/2025/04/12/biosecurity-warnings-ignored-the-tasmanian-salmon-industry</span></a></p>
