THE SCOTTISH salmon farming industry is calling on the Scottish Government as well as the US authorities for guidance after announcing that it is no longer using potentially harmful acoustic deterrent devices (ADDs) to deter marine mammals such as seals from entering pens.
The move comes just one month after Scottish salmon farmers were barred from shooting seals as a last resort to protect their livestock.

The industry has since called on the Scottish Government to consider compensation for fish lost in seal attacks in line with similar schemes for terrestrial farmers losing livestock to predators.
