and break into the national good month america does is right rules are made for other people for centuries like rush hour old countries like a straight. back whatever america does is right because america doesn't. a rule road in western norway. surrounded by glaciers and clips. a road is winding as the shores of the fiords. after hours of searching i finally reach my destination. floating on cold water fish farms. where in my one of the country's most hidden treasures farmed salmon.

in these deserted places surrounded by fences and closed doors. i have an appointment with a man who wants to reveal what he considers to be a scandal. couldn't under the waters of the fiords. is one of the ways most respected environmental activists. has gone to war against salman farmers who according to him are responsible for a large scale health disaster. it is said the sauce that this and now all this fish because this is that to too many together you know with two million in the fish from like this that too many together and they get sick and today you have you have a you have a pond to me because p.d. and eisai spread all over norway and they don't tell they want to don't want to tell it to the customers like the people in france you know. over the last ten

years kurt loder god has placed these factory farms under strict surveillance. gathering evidence. today he wants to reveal to me the practices of these norwegian fish farmers whom he considers so dangerous. in these images which he filmed he claims that these men are pouring a powerful pesticide into these waters one known to have neurotoxic effects. they must protect themselves with work suits and gas masks from chemicals to treat salmon attacked by pests and diseases which abound in these farms. you would find different kind of teen you will find you will find food banks are all you know all kind of chemicals and that's that's disgusting you know you know it's it is not safe for people to hear i mean. you know it's the most toxic

food you have in the whole wall. of. toxic fish which are regularly sold in our supermarkets. and no we can salmon is not the only species concern. to verify these accusations i spent several months investigating behind the scenes in the fishing industry. the ultimate health food recommended by doctors and nutritionists fish is retained its image as a healthy and natural product. yet it's flesh holds many secrets among the most toxic in the agro food industry. from norway to vietnam via sweden and denmark i investigated the ins and outs of this global industry. fish livestock fish products but also prepared dishes were going to dive into the murky waters of an out of control

industry which to our knowledge is pouring a dangerous cocktail of chemicals into the food which we choose our table. in france fish consumption has more than doubled over the last fifty years it has now reached thirty seven pounds per year per capita that's more than before chicken . to meet the demand new fish have appeared today and today's fish shops hardly resemble those of the past. hello you know what would you like i'd like to salmon filets plays it's ok ok. in this parisian fish shop the salmon is scottish the basque is greek and apart from the trout not

a french fish to be seen. we have very little french fish because we know that's not what we're getting they just say it's from certain zones in the north atlantic a few years ago we had a lot more precise information and sure. today the vast majority of fish consumed in france is imported. and nearly half of it is farmed fish. they are farmed salmon bass and bream approximately sixty percent is fish from the sea and the rest discard it. fish which are much cheaper than fish products such as these farmed salmon for les's or these kind of fillet. a twelve year old ninety per kilo it's the cheapest fish in the story. it's the come at twelve ninety per kilo that allows some people to be able to eat fish inexpensively. but they can't afford to buy cod fillets at thirty two heroes the kilo. itself very well.

when's the next shipment china. relatively unknown until ten years ago today hank is one of the ten most consumed fish and friends. it can be found in fish shops and also in most supermarkets as frozen full lays. but thanks to its low price tag has become especially prevalent in the mass catering business to the point of becoming one of the most consuming fishes in school lunches. how of these farmed fish products been able to be offered at such low prices and what exactly can be found in the flesh of these fish which is being served to our children. in southern vietnam in the mekong delta the first step of my investigation.

here pank is part of the colin area traditions sold in the markets consumed every day in restaurants. but behind this traditional image there's another reality. for fifteen years panga has also become one of the principal money makers of the region. ninety five percent of global production comes from southern vietnam. in the small village of cunto in the delta a statue has been a. to to it right next to that of the father of the country's independence. i'm to discover that this economic success also hides a darker side exploiting the inhabitants as well as the environment. on the river i have an appointment with a busy man who the vietnamese call the panga king mr min. in just under fifteen years he has amassed the fourth richest fortune in the

country thanks to his fish farms. he exports paying it to more than thirty different countries including friends for the first time he has accepted to open his doors to television i was going to. get out hello mr min but i think the big fish are feeding over there yet i don't know let's just show them the little fish they're hungry let's go over there. mr minns fortune can be found entirely under the water of these fish ponds thought to understand its magnitude you must come here early in the morning and watch the show while the fish have their breakfast. thought you need one of these puns three hundred thousand think of an industrial

concentration for a brace of fish thought. oh yeah. we feed these coming that twice a day and each time you give them three tons of food that's how we feed them. stuffed with tripe call it seemed bloated with fat and protein the fish reach adult size in just six months two times faster than nature. to ensure production. mr mann has over three hundred fifty ponds of this kind. on my farm as there are a hundred million pounds you. must realize there are more fish in my pun than there are people in all of vietnam. to prepare the fish which will be sold at low prices on the european market more than a thousand workers process up to one hundred tonnes of pangle per day. before

freezing one last step is necessary and that begins in these large washers. in this water poly phosphates additives which facilitate freezing i but they have another advantage. they allow the salafis to soak up water which artificially increases their weight. in the end the fish are tasteless and odorless but surprisingly to mr minn that is an advantage for exportation. that unlike other fish has no odor and it's tasteless as well as so it takes on the flavors of the spices and. suddenly it's become a favorite of kitchens throughout the world that's the secret of. every here vietnam exports one point five billion of these low cost colorless and

odorless fillet. twenty percent of the production coming from mr minns plants. in his freight depot several thousand tons are being shipped to spain the ukraine as well as brazil but also according to mr min to certain french supermarkets. this is the bill for our fish which is being sent to car for. one it goes through a middleman because car for doesn't buy from us direct. is a wholesaler who buys a shipment from us and resell as part of it to car for. this is the wholesaler who was based in paris. in mr mims panga we didn't find anything that would raise health concerns. but on other fish farms something flesh was dangerous chemical cocktail concentrations most farm panga are sick because of the pollution from the mekong

waters. mr greene is the local representative of the w w in two thousand and nine dissociation put pangle on its red list of products which are dangerous to the environment as well as to the consumer. there that's a fish from. the penguin on this farm a raised in water directly pumped into the channel. one of thousands of small tributaries of the with high pollution levels. into these channels millions of yet the means dump their household waste on a daily basis. the region is also the world's largest rice exporter. intensive cultivation practices which spread massive amounts of pesticides faced with this cocktail of pollutants the waters have reached high alert status.

these channels concentrate green algae and bacteria which destroy the oxygen and release talks on the water. and that can make the panda sick. yes. of course. by reducing the oxygen levels and the water it affects the immune system and the health of the fish well. the u.s. military was built to square off again. it's the soviet union. over western europe and then when you take that conventional military and now try to retasking it as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. on marriage and in the financial moral. act as developments coming out stop exceeded our only take no demand for credit not going to get any economic benefit

in life. and there are folks. playwright on the scene played. the first tribute and i think the church played. on our reporters let her play an instrument play the game the b. and the no longer on the. plane to the first series the goal of the try to play play polygamy a new one if you like for the changing every minute. the

cut made no law oh well. my a lot like the pain. plus the thing that's setting all time places is the most elite club slayer sometimes for nothing the claim is so mean and it's a challenge to look just keep up the story and still be just if you see a stage take the t.v. . but speech was selling players. play the game. and to treat their pegasus and by pollution farmers for industrial quantities of drugs into the politics. on this farm in fact the fish have caught several diseases so this

a big trauma. patrick just a moment is a researcher at the university of number were in belgium. he came to help this farmer to treat his sick panga. they do not have too many problem with. this on the body. to their body and there is also the leading leading in the finale that's yes. ok bleeding. and they also get a liver disease in the liver yes. but weakest amount is going to discover that to treat the fish farmers use dangerous doses of drugs. that. branch off chemical hey. pass this here you can see the

antibiotics. in this local pharmacy there are hundreds of boxes of antibiotics of all kinds heavily used on the farms they cause a chain reaction ok the problem is that there are always residues but were found in the environment and eventually bacteria becomes resistant to these antibiotics is all computed. regularly administered to the fish these antibiotics heighten the diseases they're supposed to fight forcing the producers to raise the dosage is. a vicious circle because today the farmer can't avoid it. and you know what the fish consume the antibiotics they become absorbed into its tissues and it will be released as a form of residue i have feces via excretion. and then use antibiotic residues will be found elsewhere in the channels to the point where they can also spread to other

foreigners and of course these waters are also used by other fish farming be secretive. to stop this vicious cycle but clique estimate is trying to promote less polluting drugs. but they are much too expensive for farmers who complain about the market prices of their fish being offered by western distributors. oh yes search for the years in the us and our production costs are twenty five thousand dollars per kilo but are selling prices only twenty two thousand dollars so we're already losing money. ok so no good for the for the business but sometimes this after the antibiotics but play customer will make an even more disturbing discovery or associate their stock. my goodness on earth. looks like a. have of probably.

the. best asides that concentrate in fish flesh and in the mekong waters dry feed pellets which make the panga grow twice as fast then from natural food. and a record number of fish concentrated in the ponds these farming conditions put consumers health at risk. here in vietnam is where my investigation ends because there haven't been any independent scientific studies conducted here on the subject. to find the answer i'm to return to a country that has pushed the use of chemicals and is us still farming techniques even further. in norway fish farming is a four billion euro a year industry. this is the second biggest resource of the country after oil

seventy percent of the salmon consumed in france comes from these farms which are directly immersed in the waters of the fiords. but in this secret and opaque world journalists are not welcome. and no fish farmer has agreed to open its doors to us. full to shop it. once again i find kurt loder god of the activists who fights against the methods used by the norwegian fish farmers to unlock the secrets of the fish farms his organization is employed methods worthy of a spy movie. this boat and also with the underwater robot with which he probes the waters of the fuel.

it's filled with bacteria. there in the bubbles this layer is full of waste. under the farms mountains of sediment fifteen meters high where there is a mixture of food scraps and chemicals which are poured into the farms every day. it's incredibly polluted by. the worker never says this is this considered all the talk has been sprayed for the fish to the ally saying anything taints the fish to the south sea and have a seed of sea bottom is complete destroy i let's a gas factory you know it bubbles off and all kind of met that methane and some of these sites are using is the same that was used during the first world war to gas

people and they have completed projects that go that everything is the main problem for no each and fish farmers is this parasite the sea lice. it lodges in the fish flesh and can kill them. becoming resistant to all the treatments it forces the farmers to use pesticides which are more and more potent. these farming conditions produce frightening consequences in the fish. like in these cod deformed by genetic mutations so. this is a scapegoat to call it from a fish farm from a cold fall nearly fifty percent of the cord is born like this they can never close them out this is a this and kinetic that the damage it takes a generation in the sea. to get this away you understand. female cawed of this type is known to get the pregnant wild male

caught see the beautiful faces you know you don't need to things like this but if you chop the head off you wouldn't see it. salmon also suffer less visible but equally disturbing transformations. see this is a much smaller has a bigger with more sharp corners and because shell is not covering the heels you know that's very normal. what we find inside the fish is even worse typical. this is no quote of. service. this is a fresh someone who is breaking you see this is this is no good fish in a dish you should be able to turn back and forth you shouldn't break like this why would someone contains five to seven percent fat this contains between fourteen and a half and thirty four percent fat as is the toxic so obvious following before

you know this is the most toxic food you have in this. since these fish have more fat the flesh of farmed fish absorb higher levels of chemical residues. and the observations of kurds have now been confirmed by the studies of a french researcher. german news and works for the university of bergen in norway. he measured the concentration of toxic chemicals present in various food products. and the results that he obtained are enlightening. different colors represent different pollutants. here you have different food. i have whole milk eggs apples potatoes cod and farm salad. that's incredible we can see from the chart that the farmed fish has

much higher levels than the other products. as a porter compared to other products and can see very clearly that farmed salmon it contains much more pollutants of course. you can see the number as well as. if you . look at the farmed fish is five times more toxic than all the other products found in our supermarkets. and the conclusion is obvious. do you still eat farmed fish. no i don't know if you've stopped since these studies . so you simply must avoid exposure to these pollutants find jesting then you're exposed do you think that's obvious. because it not only is about measuring these pollutants it's also about evaluating their effects on these laboratory rats says he we have

a test group that we used as the control group where the mice ate standard laboratory food and we tested them on it and then we had another test group that had exactly the same food except that we added farmed salmon to it let you know for the test group fed with the farmed salmon he obtained some very disturbing results what we have here is the pose or fatty tissue from the abdomen and if you look at what happens to the farmed salmon it's pretty impressive. eating farmed fish has made them obese and diabetic. dissolved and he's so exported to fill it organisms are exposed to different pollutants estimable some of these pollutants their own to make the organism accumulate more fat to. do so a theory has been formulated which correlates to being a consequence of all the pollutants real counter in the environment to separate all call not all feeling that this. is their own ruse and then makes another revelation . according to his research what makes the salmon flesh most toxic is not the

pesticide poured into the farms. but rather the dried pellet feed which are fed to the fish. sort of pollutants come mainly from the food which is fed to the salmon. what are these pollutants. dinner and dioxins b.c.b.s. . in the stocks afine all these chemicals to sit with how is it that this is found in the dried palate feet the safe well you have to ask those who make the fish for quinoa to help with it what is certain is that the effects can be huge that's what's dangerous on. simple dry pellets which is even more dangerous than pesticides and antibiotics how is it made and why is it so toxic. the small port of tb or an in western denmark.

here fishing boat don't supply fish markets or supermarkets. this factory makes fish feed. fin nielson is the factory foreman. here's his specialty. here's our product dry fish pellets us. one of the new poll shows the moment i should be making news all the face and i just like you know. it was. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researchers.

clean more zero casualties war this is the great fantasy of war mongering politicians. capturing people is messy what do you do if the innocent killing them easy we were serve the right to kill any person anywhere any time. they can do that unless you can but they can do it and drowned them out small makes these things are very dangerous and politicians gain a new kind of power via this technology sad to me is very tempting. and. do we speak your language of the will or not of the.

news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn of the of angles couldn't stories. you hear. destroy all te spanish find out more visit i to al a dud. you
