The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO) said the SNP pledge to adopt regulatory reform, if the SNP is returned to power, would help the farmed salmon sector grow sustainability over the long term.
The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation have today (April 9th) released a comment regarding the reinstatement of RSPCA Assured certification with immediate effect for a small number of farms after inspections found no evidence to support claims of welfare issues made by Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) and anti-fish farm activists.
Scotland's salmon farmers grow fish for dinner plates here and abroad. Salmon is bought by retailers, supermarkets and ultimately by the consumer. You and me. From Shetland in the north, through Orkney, across to the Western Isles and all the way along Scotland's beautiful west coast people harvest the seas.
The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO) today (March 1st) has announced that the sector is no longer using acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) that may have been considered to cause disturbance to European Protected Species.
The Scottish salmon sector launched a review of the use of acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) last year. This has lead to a sector-wide voluntary withdrawal of EPS licence applications due to the continued lack of clarification from the Scottish Government and Marine Scotland regarding ADD use by fish farmers.
