“that there should be a process in place which allows robust intervention by regulators when serious fish mortality events occur.”
Do you believe that you provide the advice there?

On the welfare of our wrasse, the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee said that there was an urgent need for assessment of the implications of the farming, fishing and use of cleaner fish. I would be interested in hearing from you about the welfare of lumpfish and wrasse that are used as cleaner fish in salmon cages and any concerns that you have for them.
