If you visit 'Scotland's Aquaculture' the latest data you will find online is information relating to December 2021:
In contrast, Salmon Scotland (the lobby group representing salmon pharmers) posted mortality data for October 2022 earlier this month:
REVEALED: 74% monthly mortality (that's 3 out of every 4 fish dying in the space of a single month) at RSPCA Assured @scotseafarms in Loch Nevis (Nevis B). Scottish Sea Farms is the exclusive supplier to @marksandspencer https://t.co/7PNQiIMPl0

And the Scottish Government published mortality data for salmon farms up to the end of October 2022 on 1 December 2022:
And Scotland's largest salmon pharmer – Norweigan behemoth Mowi – have already published lice and mortality data for Week 48 in 2022 (i.e. early December):
