To implement advanced Hydrodynamic modelling in Scotland's salmon farming industry to facilitate sustainable growth and best environmental management practice, leading to enhanced resource efficiency.

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a new disease emerging in farmed salmon across the world including Scotland and Ireland. The amoeba colonise the gills of fish causing inflammation which can lead to suffocation of the fish. The project brings together scientists with expertise in AGD at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling; Marine Harvest Sco...

The production and farming of triploid salmon, which are reproductively sterile, could be a highly beneficial culture option to industry to help prevent potential interbreeding between farmed escapees and wild salmon populations, thus allowing sustainable and environmentally sound aquaculture to be practiced whilst maintaining a food product of high nutri...

The aim of this project is to develop the technology to breed and grow commercially viable numbers of wrasse in tanks and deploy these successfully and sustainably in Atlantic salmon farms in Scotland. Wrasse are cleaner fish that have been shown to help control sealice populations in farmed Scottish Salmon, significantly reducing the reliance on and cost...

UK production of salmon, pigs and poultry is over-reliant on imported soy protein which has significant sustainability and supply concerns. Using air classification (AC) of UK grown faba beans we will develop two new products to partially replace imported soy. AC is a simple, low cost process requiring no addition of water, solvents or heating and will be...
