Ms Caroline Bocquel:

All of the salmon that is grown in Ireland is organic. A very small amount of it might fall out of organic status because of a treatment it has to have, but it is all grown as organic salmon. That is a premium product. There is only a certain appetite or market demand for organic salmon. Salmon is the number one seafood we consume by a considerable margin. More than 60,000 of the seafood we consume in Ireland is salmon. We have an enormous love for salmon but only a certain amount of that would be organic salmon and the rest would be conventional salmon that we do not grow in Ireland but that we import and is processed here by our processors and it is then sold on the Irish market.
