The parent company of Ducktrap River of Maine is denying allegations made in a recent lawsuit that its salmon is not sustainably sourced. A New York resident named Abigail Starr last week filed suit in federal court in Maine against Ducktrap River of Maine and its parent company over labeling on the Maine company’s smoked salmon that says the fish is “sustainably sourced.” “All Mowi farm-raised Atlantic salmon products in the U.S. are certified as sustainably and responsibly sourced by independent third parties,” the company said. “Following a rigorous certification process, Mowi has been recognized to abide by industry best practices for sustainable aquaculture.”
