Here is Catriona Frankitti with a classic spicy Italian pasta using #Scottishsalmon. This recipe creates a rich flavoured, healthy dish in minutes. This can be served with pasta but is also ideal to serve with thinly sliced potatoes as a hearty stew, with rice, noodles, or with roasted vegetables.

We share concerns about the long-term decline in #wild salmon and are working with partners to reverse it. But it is wrong to suggest #salmon farming is driving that decline. The Scottish Government has identified more than 40 pressures on wild salmon, including water quality, habitat loss, and predation.

#Salmon are extremely efficient at using feed to grow. It takes only a little over one kilogram of feed for a farm-raised salmon to grow by one kilogram. The feed contains a carefully balanced range of ingredients, including fishmeal, fish oil, grains and vegetable products, vitamins, and micronutrients.

The @scotseafarms Setterness team in #Sheltand chose a remote beach close to their farms for a recent beach clean. With access only practical by small craft, reaching the shoreline was a challenge in itself. Great work, team! 👏💙 #Aquaculture | #BeachClean | #MarineEnvironment | #Scottishsalmon

Like other livestock, pets, and humans, farm-raised #salmon can sometimes become unwell. When necessary, #farmers and vets may use licensed medicines to protect their health and #welfare. The use of medicines is strictly controlled by regulators to protect the wider #environment. More 👇 bit.ly/SS-TheFacts #Scottishsalmon | #Aquculture | #MadeinScotland | #FishFarming
