On 15th August Scotland's salmon farmers published monthly mortality figures on a farm-by-farm basis to increase transparency and understanding of this key sector.
The data, which covers 100 percent of Scottish salmon farms, shows that for the first four months of this year, survival rates on farms ranged between 98.5 percent and 99 percent. Around 60 percent of salmon farms stocked with fish had less than one percent mortality.
The reporting is believed to be a first among all farming sectors in the UK and is at the forefront of international reporting for salmon farming globally.
