A Longer Version of the Interview with the Authors who have Examined one of Norway’s Most Powerful Industries
It all began with a series of articles that sparked strong reactions in Norway. The two journalists and authors, Kjetil Østli and Simen Sætre, had investigated the consequences of large-scale salmon farming in Norway, which in just a few decades had grown into one of the country’s leading and most profitable industries.
The book The New Fish has been translated into several languages and is now also available in Swedish.
“As a rule, the salmon sold in stores has been sick and infested, but consumers never find out,” explains Simen Sætre, who believes the book has led many Norwegians to stop eating salmon.
This is the slightly longer version of the interview.
