Strong King Salmon Forces Early Closure for Trollers

A feed barge at a Mowi salmon site off the coast of South Uist has sunk after taking on water.

Mowi harvested 106,000 tonnes of salmon in the final quarter of last year, with its divisions in Norway, Ireland and Scotland proving the most profitable per kilo.

Salmon sellers must market their products as being “the leading healthy and sustainable protein and move away from being a ‘luxury’ product” if they want to continue to achieve high prices.
