The ABC revealed nothing, just some skilled editing of the video they took. There was no real science presented to the audience, only claims from various people in neighboring industries.
I get the impression Huon are being blown out of the water... One possibility is that Tassal's SBP is allowing them to sustain fish in Mac Harbor whilst Huon are losing their supply.
It's hard to believe that Tassal, WWF Australia, Skretting, the Tasmanian government and the ASC are all aware of environmental destruction but doing nothing about it...
With all that said, higher temperatures in MH (and the resulting low oxygen levels) are still a real risk that the company must be aware of.

Hey Klogg I agree with your first paragraph.
However higher temperatures in MH does not lead to lower dissolved oxygen levels. See page 60 of the Report Cawthron Review
"Within the harbour, based on monthly data only, water temperatures do not appear to have increased during the period of greatest DO (dissolved oxygen) decline"
