Beyond the Plate: The Wilder Impact of Antibiotic Use in Salmon Farming. Submitted by Dr. Chloe Fouilloux
Vote for UW–Madison’s Faculty Submission
Of farmed fish species, salmonoids represent the highest production growth in the global market. To meet the demand for these stocks, farmers are increasingly dependent on the application of antibiotics to produce a commercially profitable output of a fit-for-consumption product. The often unregulated and unmonitored application of antibiotics on farmed salmon has led to an explosion in antibiotic resistance in farmed fish. Raised in semi-natural habitats, resistant bacteria and excess antibiotics escape into globally connected waterways, impacting non-target species.
