Shame on SEPA the Laggard not Leader (even the sloths at SSPO are quicker at publishing data)!

 

 

Scottish Salmon Watch is still trying to download data on mortalities, toxic chemicals and biomass from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency's 'Scotland's Aquaculture' web-site.

And another Tweet:

 

 

Whilst SEPA fixes their glitch you can download lice and mortality data from Mowi.

 

 

 

And whilst the gremlins in SEPA's software run amok, you can download lice and mortality data from the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation.

 

 

 

And whilst SEPA's web-team spin themselves in knots, you can download mortality information from Marine Scotland.

 

 

 

SEPA is so slow that data on toxic chemical use on salmon farms from 2018 (which includes toxic chemical use via well boats) has still not been published via the Scottish Pollutant Release Inventory!

 

 

Whilst SEPA dilly and dally you can read more about their incompetence in relation to salmon farming via:
