Mowi Scotland has secured planning approval for a new salmon farm off the coast of Kintyre, on Scotland’s west coast. The farm, at Kilbrannan Sound, is expected to create 10 permanent jobs and is also linked to a major investment by Mowi in the local community harbour in Carradale. The company’s investment will see the construction of a purpose-built shore base, storage facilities and new pontoon. The proposal received unanimous council approval on 28 November. the new farm – North Kilbrannan – will include 12 x 120m compact circular cages with a 400 tonne feed barge and will hold a maximum of 2,475 tonnes of Atlantic salmon. Mowi Scotland already operates a farm nearby at Carradale.
