Two Scottish university professors are among an elite group of academics who have been chosen to evaluate part of Norway’s controversial “traffic light” scheme for regulating salmon farming.
The Norwegian Research Council has been commissioned to examine the scientific basis of the scheme, with emphasis on how it controls lice.
Fisheries and Seafood Minister Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen said it was important to have a professional assessment on the situation in order to make it even better.
The seven strong evaluation team will be chaired by Crawford Revie, professor of Data Analytics at the University of Strathclyde’s department of computer and information sciences.
