Industry’s Code of Good Practice out to public consultation

The Industry’s Code of Good Practice (CoGP) for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture has gone out to public consultation.

The CoGP is available as a downloadable pdf file on the websites of Scottish Quality Salmon, Shetland Salmon Farmers’ Association, British Trout Association and British Marine Finfish Association. Interested parties, such as the Ministerial Working Group on Aquaculture (Scottish Executive) and UK multiple retailers, have been informed of the consultation, and it will also be publicised via notification in local newspapers.
