Fish Farming Expert reported (1 July 2020):
In February 2020, Benchmark submitted a regulatory dossier for the use of BMK08 in salmon farming.
"Submission of our regulatory dossier for BMK08, our novel sea lice treatment, is a significant milestone" @WeAreBenchmark https://t.co/2vVe041WxV "needs separate approval in each of the countries" @ScottishEPA What is BMK08? Will the public find out how toxic AFTER approval?! pic.twitter.com/BKuJ9sIKdL

Fish Farming Expert reported (28 February 2020):
In March 2020, Scottish Salmon Watch and The Ferret revealed that BMK08 (known as Ectosan when launched in 2017) was the toxic neonicotinoid Imidacloprid.

Last month Scottish Salmon Watch revealed that the inventors of Imidacloprid use in salmon had admitted in their patent that "leakage" of the toxic chemical could occur.
Scientific opposition to the use of Imidacloprid is growing.
"Imidacloprid has been banned from use by farmers because of the widespread environmental harm it caused" @DaveGoulson "It would be the height of foolishness to start using this potent, broad-spectrum neurotoxin in salmon farming" https://t.co/nqV1mv7CAY @WeAreBenchmark pic.twitter.com/8V15mLltzr
