Scotland-based salmon farmer Scottish Sea Farms’ Loch Nevis site is receiving a £1.5 million (€1.7 million/$1.8 million) upgrade.

Two of its three farms at the site – Nevis A and Nevis B – are being modernized, while Nevis C is temporarily fallow.

The upgrade will reduce the overall number of pens from 36 to 10, while maintaining the same overall biomass, the company said.

This will allow more space between pens, increase water exchange and oxygen flow in and around farms and, in turn, enhance growing conditions further, the company said.
