Fears have been raised over contamination of fish stocks amid calls for a review of industrial salmon farming in Scotland following the sinking of a fishing vessel in the Sound of Mull.

On Thursday 4 July a 15-metre boat called the Julie Anne sank to the 20-metre deep seabed at the Fiunary fish farm. No one was aboard the vessel at the time of sinking which occurred around 8 am.
