Tasmanian salmon should be off the menu for now, says conservation group

Fish eaters advised to 'Say No' due to environmental concerns surrounding Tasmania's salmon farming industry

It's one of Australia's - and the world's - favourite fish but Tasmanian Atlantic salmon should be off the menu for now, according to the Australian Marine Conservation Society, publishers of Australia's independent sustainable seafood guide.

On Wednesday, the AMCS downgraded the farmed fish's rating from an amber "Think Twice" to a red "Say No" due to ongoing environmental concerns. The previous review was in 2015.
