Fish farm code of practice - site inspections monitoring Acoustic Deterrent Devices - 1 January to 4 August 2022
Marine Scotland Compliance undertakes inspections of seawater fish farms to identify the use of Acoustic Deterrent Devices (ADD), in line with the “Aquaculture Code of Practice: Containment of and Prevention of Escape of Fish on Fish Farms in relation to Marine Mammal Interactions.” Mandatory standard 8 in Section 2.2. of the Code requires fish farmers to consult with MS if they plan to deploy an ADD and to obtain any relevant consents or to demonstrate that the planned use will not harm marine mammals. The presence of an ADD may not be an offence under the Code unless it is deployed.
Inspections are usually unannounced using our inshore patrol vessels or Marine Protection Vessels. We usually publish inspection data on a six-monthly basis.
