The UK aquaculture industry has a production value in excess of £590 million to the UK economy, and Scottish salmon represents one of the most valuable food exports. The expertise found within the UK aquaculture industry positions us as leaders on many of the challenges and opportunties in this field. The UK industry is centred around production of key species such as salmon, as well as other growing finfish and shellfish sectors.
