Episode description
Salmon farming has long been plagued by questions over its environmental impact and welfare concerns for farmed fish and the wild fish that live nearby. Charlotte Smith asks if those concerns might be reduced if the industry moves into deeper, wilder waters.
There's also a look at illegal meat imports and the resources that the Port of Dover has to police the arrival of suspect foods on British shores.
