Scottish Sea Farms is investing nearly £2 million(€2.3 million/$2.8 million) to upgrade and improve its Shetland farm infrastructure and better equip its farm team to enhance fish welfare and survival.
The upgrades include five feed barges being refurbished at a cost of £750,000 (€853,500/$1 million); the company's workboat Scapa Lass undergoing a £415,000 (€472,270/$572,700) refit to repurpose it as a treatment support vessel; and new pens and moorings worth £675,000 (€768,150/$931,500) being installed at the company’s Bellister farm to bring it in line with recent refurbishments across the rest of the Shetland estate.
