Husbandry
Established in 1977, soon after the birth of commercial salmon farming industry, our company has witnessed many developments over its time. Our many years in the business, has given us the opportunity to select the best techniques to produce a premium product which we are proud to deliver.
Wester Ross farming methods enhance the welfare of our salmon and include:
Very low stocking densities to ensure happy, healthy growth, in line with the RSPCA Freedom Food standards
A 'hands-on' approach with experienced hand-rearing matched by no other farmer in Scotland: our two farming managers have a combined experience of over 50 years
Our emphasis on a 'welfare-first' ensures that our salmon's health dictates operational planning of the farms
Reflecting natural processes in the wild wherever and whenever possible
