Services to the Scottish and Worldwide Aquaculture Industry

We offer a range of environmental assessment services to the aquaculture industry. These enable fish farming companies to comply with environment regulator and planning authority requirements.

The services we provide to the Scottish aquaculture industry include but are not limited to:

•  NewDEPOMOD modelling.

•  Bath treatment modelling.

•  Equilibrium Concentration Enhancement (ECE) assessments.

•  Hydrographic surveys
   [Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) or other types of current meters where required].

•  Hydrographic data analysis and its reporting.

•  EIA/Environmental statements.

For international fish farm sites, our environmental assessment work has involved sites in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean. However, this can be undertaken worldwide.

To date our work has involved the use of site-specific ADCP data for marine pen/cage modelling using MERAMOD. However, new models are being developed and we will utilise these when released based on country-specific regulatory requirements.

In terms of the MERAMOD model, this is used to determine the predicted benthic footprint of the proposed or existing site to obtain regulatory and/or customer approval. It is often used to recommend a benthic sampling regime that is complaint with the subject country's regulatory requirements.
