摘要

Amulti-species research and development facility, costing ￡300,000 (US$425,000), is due for completion in Scotland this summer. The projectis an industry-led move to create 'much-needed' marine aquaculture trials capacity.The new facility will be located at Otter Ferry in Argyll, home of Otter Ferry Seafish, one of the U.K.'s longest running aquaculture businesses, with production records dating back to 1967. Working in conjunction with the U.K. Government and industry-backed Agri-EPI Centre, Otter Ferry Seafish is committing land and cash to the new venture on a co-funding basis with Innovate UK, a non-departmental public body which 'operates at arm's length' from the U.K. Government as part of the country's research and innovation structure.
