 A Skye-based fish farm was subject to a "major" seal attack at the end of December, resulting in the loss of more than 52,000 juvenile fish.

The farm, located at Portree on Skye and managed by The Scottish Salmon Company, was due to have new anti-predator netting technology installed by the end of January.

More than half a million farmed salmon died as a result of seal attacks between May 2019 and May 2020 in Scotland, either directly from a physical attack or indirectly from stress arising from being subjected to an attack.
 

The Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO) says that predation attacks by seals continue to have a significant impact on fish health and welfare.

A spokesperson for The Scottish Salmon Company said: “Our Portree site has recently been subject to persistent attacks from a large group of seals which, despite our best efforts, caused significant damage to one of our nets.
