Mowi Scotland today confirmed accusations made in a BBC Panorama documentary last night that it had breached biomass licence conditions at its farms “46 times over the last decade”.

Mowi Scotland has challenged a claim by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) that the agency carried out a surprise raid the company’s offices at Fort William earlier this month.

Sutherland and Hebrides salmon farmer Loch Duart has suspended supplies of ballan wrasse from a south of England fisherman after the BBC filmed him apparently breaching a voluntary conservation agreement by operating in a no-fishing zone.

Workers from a Scottish salmon farming company will outline the benefits their jobs bring to the community tomorrow as the BBC once again turns its spotlights and cameras on the industry.
