Zero Waste Report - Finfish Mortalities in Scotland
29 April 2016
Enscape delivered a study for Zero Waste Scotland on the management options for fishfarm waste produced in the country.
This 2016, “Zero Waste Report – Fish Mortalities in Scotland” investigates suitable alternative Animal By Product compliant disposal routes for Scottish finfish farming waste. The outputs from this work provided the basis for a change to legislation on the practice of burying mortalities.
The reports from the project can be found on the Scottish Government's website:
https://www.gov.scot/publications/zero-waste-report-finfish-mortalities-in-scotland-2/
The above report was followed, in 2018 by further work, involving research into fish mortalities, historically and projections up to 2030 - considering disease risks, pathways etc, seasonality factors, and the extent to which waste management infrastructure can manage different levels of mortality events. The report from this work can be found at the same link above.
