How grown
As with home-grown Scotch Beef and Lamb, our Scottish farmed salmon are hatched, reared and fed in Scotland.
Our sustainability indicators are just some of the key ways in which we measure how we are performing with regards to fish welfare, protecting the environment and benefiting the local communities in which we live and work. (All figures correct on 01 April 2022.)
Fish welfare
We’re proud to farm to RSPCA welfare standards; standards that set out best practice in the rearing and care of farmed salmon: from freshwater and marine, to harvest and processing.
Fish welfare
By pursuing a fish health approach of prevention over cure, our average end of crop survival for the last full farming year (2021) was 90%.
Fish welfare
91% of all fish harvested in 2021 were graded superior quality, giving a strong indication of the high health and welfare status of our fish.
Fish welfare
Our strict veterinary protocols have helped ensure the continued absence of medicinal residues with the Veterinary Medicines Directorate surveillance programme detecting no residues in our salmon destined for market.
Fish welfare
We haven't administered antibiotics at seawater stage since 2012 and have steadily reduced usage at freshwater stage, resulting in zero antibiotic use on all salmon sold in 2020 and 2021.
Fish welfare
Since 2013, we've invested £10.3M+ in collaborative and in-house research worth over £19.4M to help increase understanding of key fish health issues including gill disorders, sea lice and Saprolegnia.
