This is completely unacceptable. There is an industry-wide failure to protect these animals, and this must change. We need an immediate halt on the continued expansion of Scottish salmon farming. Confining carnivorous species in underwater cages and depleting our oceans of wild fish in order to feed them, is pure madness.
Ultimately, we directly challenge whether farming essentially wild, migratory fish, such as salmon, has any place in a sustainable food system. For more information, please email Ben. Williamson ciwf.

News 03 Murky depths of the Scottish salmon industry exposed in new undercover investigation. Murky depths of the Scottish salmon industry exposed in new undercover investigation. There are smaller numbers of cages off Skye and Mull. The Faroese company, which bought the Scottish Salmon Company last year, also plans a Scottish processing plant, to improve the value of its premium products and to back its brands, including Native Hebridean and Lochlander.
A site has not yet been identified but it is planned for a quayside location closer to market and that reduces travel on what the company describes as "unreliable roads", while reducing stress and damage to fish. Following the example of its flagship harvest and processing plant in the Faroes, this is to be highly automated. A statement for investors said the plan was carefully geared to improve returns from its Scottish subsidiary.
Investment will be focussed on the earlier stages of the to plan, and results should be clear in the later stages. Compared with other nations' salmon farming, Scottish licences are limited by the relatively low maximum level of fish permitted on each site.
This could be increased under new conditions that allow companies to shift cages into more open water, at increased risk from weather damage.
