Improved Containment Working Group
The remit of the group is “to focus on improving containment by adopting best-practice to reduce escapes, improve profitability and secure the future and credibility of the industry, whilst minimising adverse environmental impacts and preventing conflict with other interests”.

Scottish Technical Standard
Through A Fresh Start - Improved Containment Working Group, the Scottish finfish farming industry has signed up to the development of a statutory engineering standard for Scottish fish-farm equipment (pens, nets and moorings) to minimise escapes.

What single factor if developed further would promote the security and containment of fish farm stock?

Scottish Technical Standard
The Scottish Standard will apply to freshwater and marine farms and represents a major step forward for the industry that will serve to minimise escapes.

Scottish Technical Standard Approach (1) Develop a STS that is:
EffectiveWorkableDefendable / justifiable / usefulAppropriate for Scottish industry
Identify knowledge gaps and recommendations

Scottish Technical Standard Approach (2)
The STS will: Build on existing standards & protocols, of
which NS9415 is the most relevant Be appropriate for Scottish environment Take account of new developments Be enforceable / auditable

Summary update on ICWG Development of a statutory engineering standard for Scottish
fish-farms Scotland is also involved in an international standards
working group (ISO 234) developing global aquaculture equipment standards
Improved Containment group to commission a desk study on the impact of open pen aquaculture on wild fisheries including frequency, cause and significance of drip escapes.
Development of a nationally recognised containment qualification and up-to-date training courses
