CONTAINMENT SPECIAL


‘By far the best mitigating measure is to prevent escapes in the first place. This requires a co-ordinated approach to the issue, across all aspects of the fish farming cycle. And, as explained throughout this special edition of Fish Farmer, this is something which is now apparent in the Scottish aquaculture industry’ – Malcolm Dickson, editor, Fish Farmer magazine.


‘The key aim of the recent SSPO containment workshops was to present and discuss the causes of escape incidents from across Scotland – and thereby allow farmers to learn from others throughout the industry. This may, we hope, help to prevent a similar incident elsewhere’ – Mark Taylor, Thistle Environmental and presenter of the workshops organised by SSPO entitled ‘Best practice on containment – understanding and minimising potential risks’.


‘As well as investing heavily in the development of sustainable aquaculture during the last few years, the Scottish industry has been committed to continuously improving industry-wide performance on all aspects of aquaculture management. Many of these activities have been embedded in the workstreams of ‘Fresh Start - A Renewed Strategic Framework for Scottish Aquaculture’ to help achieve this ambition. They have been supported by within-industry training and professional development initiatives, particularly in regard to reducing the risks of breakdown in containment.’ – Professor Phil Thomas, Chairman of Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation
