Lakeland
Lakeland is a Scottish salmon farmer, exploiting a range of farming sites, from Haweswater in Cumbria to Unst in Shetland, Lakeland's. The sites provide the ideal conditions to produce high quality salmon, with full traceability from egg to market. Experience has proved that high quality standards in salmon production can only be achieved and maintained by expert husbandry techniques as employed at Lakeland, e.g.: large cages and low stocking densities with sub surface feed monitoring, constant health status monitoring backed by regular S.E.E.R.A.D. tests and low stress harvesting and rapid post-harvest cooling.
Lakelands main role in CRAB will be to partake in the CRAB field trial program (fouling-baseline and efficacy testing).
This EU funded Collective Research project with 23 partners from Norway, Ireland, UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, will provide the European marine aquaculture industry with low cost practical solutions to control biofouling.
