In its hunt for an immaculately clean plot of water, Scottish salmon farmer Loch Duart is moving forward with the largest investment in the company’s 37-year history: salmon farming in eastern Canada.
Loch Duart's Canadian subsidiary, Snow Island, which it formed in April of 2011, is awaiting the Canadian government's decision on applications for three farming sites, adding to the one already in operation off the eastern shores of Nova Scotia. It plans to produce 2,000 metric tons of head-on, gutted salmon by the fall of 2013, and if all goes well, 6,000 tons of production within five years, Shane Borthwick, a minority owner of Snow Island, told IntraFish.
