The Tasmanian government says critics of industrial fish farming are a 'noisy minority'. But some restaurants have dropped salmon from their menu over environmental concerns and that isn't about to change

The plan also mentions the industry will need to give an "appropriate return to community," although there are no details about what that might look like.

"There's nothing in this plan … it is exactly the same as the draft salmon plan they gave to us last August," she said. As for Ms Palmer's plea to give the industry a chance, more will need to be done to convince some to have salmon back on the menu. Mr Trim said while MONA had not encountered guests asking about salmon ahead of time, the restaurant's shunning of the product had "come up in conversation in the dining room to positive and supportive reactions".
