For instance, Mowi, the largest producer, more than doubled its usage of azamethiphos from 2018 to 2023, and Scottish Sea Farms, the second-largest producer, doubled its use of emamectin benzoate from 2018 to 2023. It is definitely a concern.

For example, we also have an environmental quality standard for emamectin benzoate out at the moment, which is something else that is starting to increase controls on the waste that is going to the sea bed.
