According to China customs data, in 20 14902, China imported chilled salmon 14902 tons from Faroe Islands, ranking first, and only imported 3537 tons from Norway (only counting customs channels), ranking sixth. The countries ranked second to fifth are Chile, Britain (mainly Scotland), Australia and Canada.
The safety performance of imported salmon needs to be improved;
In 20 14, China banned the import of Norwegian salmon because there was "infectious salmon anemia (ISA) virus and other variants" in the salmon exported from Norway. In June 2020, COVID-19 was detected on the imported salmon board in Beijing Xinfadi Market; In mid-June, 2020, foreign media exposed the "farming crime" of Norwegian salmon. The farming conditions were crowded and dirty, and many sick fish were covered with ulcers.
Extended data:
Salmon "breeding crime"
According to the investigation report of ARTE 20 18 on June 4th, 2008, in order to find out the reason why the number of deaths of farmed salmon in the world reached 50 million in 2065 438+08, our reporter conducted a field investigation in Norway, the hometown of salmon.
The reporter sneaked into the farm and saw a large number of fish huddled in dirty sea water full of their excrement. Many sick salmon are covered with palm-sized ulcers, and some have become S-shaped deformed fish. In addition, high-density farming has also caused the proliferation of fish lice.
In addition to poor breeding conditions, farmed salmon also threatens the survival of wild salmon. Scala, a researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Oceanography, said that there are currently about 530,000 wild salmon in Norway, while 400 million are farmed. Every year, about 6.5438+0.83 million farmed salmon escape from farms and enter the ocean. They not only compete with the latter for food, but also infect the latter with fish lice. Their mating offspring have poor adaptability and low reproductive ability, which directly "pollutes" the genes of wild salmon.
Wild salmon feed on shrimps and crabs in the ocean, which makes them rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, while astaxanthin makes salmon colorful. However, in order to make farmed salmon grow up quickly, people put mixed soybean plant protein and chemically synthesized astaxanthin, so the quality of farmed salmon is far less than that of wild salmon.
