Scotland's first semi-closed containment salmon farm submits planning application

The group is ultimately planning to farm up to 20,000 metric tons of salmon per year in what will be Scotland's first semi-closed-containment salmon farm.

Stewart Hawthorn, a founding partner of Loch Long Salmon, says his company's goal is to establish a new salmon farming company that addresses the main concerns people have about sea lice and organic waste accumulation.
