Swedish researcher criticizes salmon fin-clipping as handicap for farmed fish

Swedish researcher Albin Gräns argues that clipping the adipose fin of farmed salmon, a common practice to distinguish them from wild fish, constitutes a significant handicap for the fish. The statement highlights an animal-welfare concern within aquaculture practices, though it does not indicate any regulatory or industry change. The matter is relevant to ongoing debates on fish welfare and sustainable aquaculture.
