The Scottish Government does not hold information on whether wild Atlantic salmon, or products derived from wild Atlantic salmon, have been used in feed for salmon farmed in Scotland. Food Standards Scotland regulates feed, while the Animal and Plant Health Agency regulate the animal-by product and feed-ban rules that apply to ingredients of animal origin.Wild Atlantic salmon are not a target species for the production of fish meal or fish oil used in salmon feed. In Scotland, it is illegal to retain any salmon caught in coastal waters or to sell, offer or expose for sale any salmon caught by rod and line in Scotland. Any wild Atlantic salmon taken by a method other than rod and line in Scottish inland waters must be tagged and anyone netting must be in possession of salmon carcass tags issued by the Scottish Ministers.
