An independent review of the current regulatory framework for Scottish aquaculture has found "mistrust, dislike, and vitriol" at both an institutional and personal level between the industry, certain regulators, parts of the Scottish government and other stakeholders.

"[It is] at a level that I have never seen before, which makes the current working relationships within the sector challenging," wrote Professor Russel Griggs in the report commissioned by the Scottish government.

Griggs spoke to people across all stakeholder groups and found many of the same issues and challenges he finds in other industry reviews.
