Community Case Study: Unst & Yell, Shetland
What does salmon farming mean for remote island communities?
@CookeScotland's operations in Unst and Yell, where salmon farming supports more than 120 local jobs, creates apprenticeship opportunities, and helps sustain local businesses and services.
The contribution extends beyond employment, with investment in community projects, local infrastructure, schools and events, alongside employees volunteering with vital emergency services including the fire service, coastguard and ambulance service.
From supporting local livelihoods to helping strengthen community resilience, salmon farming continues to play an important role in these North Isles communities.

Our partners at @SaumonLabel recently joined @ScotDevInt and @SeafoodScotland at La Nuit de l’Écosse at the International Seafood Market of #Rungis, south of #Paris.
The event brought together Scottish producers with wholesalers and foodservice professionals from across the Rungis market, creating valuable opportunities to strengthen connections and showcase Scotland's world-class seafood.

Did you know that in the wild, young #salmon are not pink and only develop their well-known pink colour when they eat foods rich in healthy antioxidants called carotenoids.
Farmed #Scottishsalmon are given these carotenoids in their feed when they move from hatcheries to the sea, mirroring the natural dietary shift in the wild.

We share concerns about the long-term decline in #wild salmon and are working with partners to reverse it. But it is wrong to suggest #salmon farming is driving that decline. The Scottish Government has identified more than 40 pressures on wild salmon, including water quality, habitat loss, and predation.
