Tesco accused of fish escape 'whitewash'
A WILD-FISH lobby group has accused supermarket giant Tesco of a whitewash in its investigation into the escape of thousands of trout from a fish farm.
The 4,047 rainbow trout, worth 15,000, escaped from the Scot Trout farm, near Oban, on 1 March. About 3,000 were recovered, but the Argyll Salmon Fishery Board said Tesco has since ignored requests to meet the investigator.
Andrew Wallace, the managing director of the Association of Salmon Fishery Boards, said: "Unless we see Tesco taking meaningful action against Scot Trout, then we have to draw the conclusion that the codes of conduct on fish farming that Tesco have amount to no more than lip-service."
