Salmon are reared to maturity in floating cages, moored together in sheltered lochs in the Outer Hebrides. About 180 fulltime jobs have been created in the Western Isles in the new salmon farms that have been built up over the past five years. It is probably the fastest-growing industry in the Highlands and the islands. Output is expected to double in the next year to about 20,000 tonnes. Already four-fifths of the salmon eaten in Britain are farmed rather than caught wild.
