The company behind what will be Scotland's first semi-closed-containment salmon farm officially submitted its planning application to the relevant authorities on Oct. 8.

Loch Long Salmon (LLS) has submitted a planning application to develop the farm at Loch Long near Beinn Reithe in Argyll, Scotland.

LLS is a newly formed joint venture (JV) between aquaculture services company Trimara Services and blue economy developer Simply Blue Aquaculture.

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.
