Marine Harvest Scotland has acquired Western Isles-based Lewis Salmon for an undisclosed sum as part of its ongoing expansion to meet global demand for farmed salmon.
Among the assets are two fish farm sites at Loch Leurbost, including Crown Estate leases and SEPA discharge consents.
The pens, nets, vehicles and other equipment are also included in the sale together with the fish, which have since been harvested. The sites will now lie fallow for some time before being stocked at a time to fit in with the other farms in the area.
