Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) are increasingly being used as cleaner fish to control parasitic sea lice, one of the most important threats to salmon farming. However, lumpfish cannot survive feeding solely on sea lice, and their mortality in salmon net-pens can be high, which has welfare, ethical and economic implications. The industry is under...
Many fishes produce adhesive eggs that confer protection from currents and predators in the wild, but that are more difficult to disinfect and aerate under aquaculture conditions. Removing egg adhesiveness (‘degumming’) has proved beneficial in the culture of many fish, and a recent gap analysis identified this as a potential way of increasing hatc...
An algal consortium was isolated from an integrated steelmaking site at TATA Steel Strip Products Ltd. in Port Talbot, UK, and its bioremediation capacity tested. Excellent “bioremediation” was observed when the mixed culture was “applied” to diluted effluent from an enhanced anaerobic digestion plant at Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water at Port Talbot, UK. Af...

Efficient sea-lice control remains one of the most important challenges for the salmon
farming industry. The use of wrasse (Labridae) as cleaner fish offers an alternative
to medicines for sea-lice control, but wrasse tend to become inactive in
winter. Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lum...

With an annual value of £588 M, the Atlantic salmon farming sector is the UK's largest single food exporter, directly employing 1,086 people in 257 farms, located in rural communities in Scotland. Scottish salmon is exported to 60 countries and has built a reputation for quality, sustainability and welfare, with Protected Geographical Indication st...
