Titled ‘Salmon: A Red Herring,’ the 7 x 11cm 178-page publication examines the colour dyes used to mimic the natural colouring (from their standard diet of shellfish) of wild salmon. The flesh of farmed salmon needs dye to appear pink, and the pages of the magazine fade from a deep red to a pale rosé, matching the colour options available to the salmon farmer in an industry dye guide.
Intelligently written, the series of texts pull together disparate stories of Scotland, colour, dyes and livestock. In the process we learn how egg yolks are made yellower with the addition of chemicals to chicken feed; the unhealthy effects of nitrates as they inhibit oxygen intake in human babies, leading to blue baby syndrome; and how a change in diet has left penguin poo less pink, and thus the snows of Antarctica are whiter today than they once were.
