Response
Please find attached Annex A, which includes a copy of extracted information from the movement records collected through the Marine Directorate’s aquatic animal health surveillance programme, relevant to salmon moved from specified sites during the years 2020-2022. Please note that this is not a comprehensive record of movement data as the information provided only relates to aquaculture sites visited within, or subsequent to, the time period of your request. The data will only go up to the date of the last inspection, this information is included within the spreadsheet which is provided to you.
We do not hold records for some of the sites specified. This may be due to sites having been fallow when visits were due or sites having had no movements off site during the time period. Additionally, some companies record movements of harvested fish in a separate system which may not be collected by the FHI. We have indicated which reason we believe to be applicable to the relevant sites.
