I will pick up on a couple of points. You have said a few times that the management of sea lice in Scotland has improved. Have the numbers of sea lice in Scotland gone down significantly?

It is a brief question on breaches in relation to medicine use in fish farms. Is enforcement where it needs to be on that issue?

Have you not done so recently?

There have been calls to significantly increase the available sanctions on farms when escapes happen. Would such sanctions be justified if an escape happened due to a lack of potential mitigation measures being taken?

You said that all farms are managing their sea lice numbers well. Are any in particular failing to reduce the number?

It is great to hear that farms are doing well and that sea lice numbers are going down. It is a different story from what others have been telling us over the past couple of weeks. Do you have a good grasp on why that might be and why others seem to have a different view of sea lice in Scotland?

However, the treatment of sea lice does impact the salmon and the environment on occasion.

Are some farms managing to reduce sea lice numbers better than others?

Given the incidence of no counts and the differences in data collection, do you feel that the data we have is reliable enough for us to be able to say for sure that we understand what the situation is with sea lice in Scotland?

If the numbers were declared?
