The conference attracted leading scientists and conservationists, and focused primarily on the impact of industrial salmon feedlots on the North American and European side of the Atlantic.

"Delegates learned about the damage the Tasmanian industry does to our waterways on the other side of the world," says Peter George, president of Neighbours of Fish Farming.

"Internationally, those experts are astonished that the industrial feedlots in Tasmania are permitted in our shallow, inshore and vulnerable waterways – it's something they simply haven't witnessed anywhere else in the world.
