Bakkafrost wants to raise production at The Scottish Salmon Company by 40% without acquiring new licences.

The Faroese company that owns one of Scotland's largest fish farm firms has pledged more than £700m investment for a major shift in the way salmon is produced.

The change to older fish in cages is intended to improve their resilience, health and growth, and reduce the effects of disease and sea lice. Its sites are focussed on the Outer Hebrides, Wester Ross and Loch Fyne. There are smaller numbers of cages off Skye and Mull. Following the example of its flagship harvest and processing plant in the Faroes, this is to be highly automated.

Compared with other nations' salmon farming, Scottish licences are limited by the relatively low maximum level of fish permitted on each site.
