  • Don't hurt the fish!!!

  • We graded fish(rainbow trout) only when average size is around 30-50 gr first time, 100-300 gr second time - and that's all. We've got 3 year cycle and harvested trout is 3.6 - 3.9 kg average size maxx. We start raising 3 gr fingerlings. All the time in freash water only, and in winter time also. We got no troubles with sea lice or other serious virus problem. Of course the total volume of raised trout is only 12000 ton per year for whole region.

  • @Calzers wild salmon in shetland if you keen whar ta look, at certain times o year!

  • we need farming of fish.... but out law the methods used now and demand better ways!!!!
