That the Parliament commends Otter Ferry Seafish Ltd on securing investment from Highlands and Islands Enterprise for its halibut farming development project; recognises that aquaculture is a key part of Argyll and Bute’s economy and that halibut farming provides a major opportunity for Scottish Aquaculture; understands that Otter Ferry Seafish, which is owned by Amar Seafoods, is a key employer, providing skilled jobs that support the local rural communities; notes the decades of hard work and research that it has undertaken to develop what it considers to be a first class product, at what is the UK's only halibut hatchery, while also promoting sustainability and environmental protection, and congratulates managing director, Alastair Barge, and the full team at Otter Ferry Seafish for securing this funding and for all their work developing the production of cleaner fish.
