Continuing the salmon theme...

I seem to have salmon on the brain at the moment.  Maybe it's because I'm currently researching salmon feed articles for the Nov/Dec issue of International Aquafeed magazine... Anyway, salmon stories are coming at me left, right and centre.  So I thought I'd share one more before leaving you alone to enjoy a salmon-free weekend.

Over the last few years there have been numerous reports in the UK press about increasing demand form China for British products (this story on Scottish whisky is a good example).  Now this trend is spreading to, you guessed it, salmon.  This BBC article is a fascinating overview of the growing trend for Scottish salmon (which we all know is pretty tasty stuff) in China and the dilemma this causes for Scottish producers, government and environmentalists. 

It's a long article so grab a cup of tea, a biscuit and get settled- it's worth it.
