Box 5  Code of good practice for aquaculture in Scotland

In Scotland, the Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation has approved a code of good practice for finfish aquaculture to couple production with health and sustainability aspects. The Organisation committed to sustainable development practices in aquaculture, ranging from sustainable use of natural heritage to the sustainability of feed ingredients themselves. One of the main targets of the code is the minimisation of the environmental impact of aquaculture sites in the Scottish environment, including both freshwater and seawater lochs and tanks. The code is audited by independent actors, which ensures compliance with reliable sustainability standards (Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation, 2020).
