Scotland's first semi-closed containment salmon farm moves step closer to reality

The company, which is ultimately planning to farm up to 20,000 metric tons of salmon per year, has been given the go ahead from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).

"We are delighted SEPA has granted the CAR licence for our Beinn Reithe site in Loch Long, particularly for their thorough but helpful approach which will help bring semi-closed containment aquaculture to Scotland for the first time," said Stewart Hawthorn, director of Loch Long Salmon.
