Intrafish reported (28 July 2020):
Fish Farming Expert reported (21 June 2020) that salmon farmers who cannot sell their unwanted fish can "apply to a new £1.25 million fund to cover the costs of maintaining unsold stock" in freezers.
The Scottish Government scheme, funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), compensates businesses for the cost of transporting, freezing and storing salmon, trout and shellfish until the end of 2020. Storage is relatively cheap, at between £5-£10 per tonne for 10 weeks, but the initial blast freezing can cost up to £300 per tonne. "It is understood that cold storage capacity is available at facilities in the north east that primarily store whitefish, and at distribution depots at Larkhall and Bellshill in the Central Belt," reported Fish Farming Expert.
