The Code of Good Practice for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture covers the production of all types of finfish farm-raised in Scotland and underpins every aspect of the farming process.
Aquaculture is at the heart of Scottish food production and is one of Scotland’s most important industries. It provides not just internationally renowned food, but also a vitally important contribution to the rural and national Scottish economy.
Scottish finfish aquaculture has world-class standards set out by the sector Code of Good Practice. Introduced in 2006, Salmon Scotland, the British Trout Association and marine flatfish producers all subscribe to it. It is independently audited to ensure that its high standards underpin this successful industry.
The Code is presented in easily downloadable chapters.
