The UK's largest producer of farmed trout has unveiled plans to invest £16 million ($20.8 million/€18.2 million) and create 36 jobs in the West of Scotland in a significant step up in production, reports Daily Business.

Dawnfresh, which already has more than 500 employees across Scotland, including about 70 in aquaculture, wants to develop four fish farm sites in Argyll and Bute and North Ayrshire. The sites are at Ardentinny, Isle of Bute, Great Cumbrae and Little Cumbrae.
