This is happening on the Shin and has been for years, despite overwhelming evidence not a single prosecution or fine has been levied on the fish farms.

Open net salmon farming:

Fact 05: escaped farmed salmon hybridise with wild Atlantic salmon and reduce their fitness. Because of the number of farmed salmon that escape each year, some survive to bread with wild salmon producing hybrids. These hybrids have a lower genetic fitness that wild salmon but still compete for resources.

23.3% of sites surveyed in Scotland show evidence of hybridisation between wild and farmed salmon, and evidence of hybridisation was concentrate in areas with freshwater and marine salmon farming.

Many wild salmon populations in the west coast are severely introgressed with “farmed” genes, from interbreeding with escaped farmed salmon of Norwegian origin.
