I will be very quick. In terms of the risk to cetaceans, are there alternatives to the ADDs that also pose threats to cetaceans?

Is it likely that any farms would be interested in doing such a thing?

I have one final small question. At the moment, do we have a good overview of fish welfare in salmon farming?

I would like to pick up the issue of fish welfare. Professor Martin, you drew a distinction earlier between pain and welfare, and I want to explore that a bit more. If a fish is in pain, can its welfare be described as being at a high level?

I would like to move on to fish welfare, Professor Martin, and pick up on some of your earlier comments.

Do you think that there is an easy route to getting agreement among the community on what welfare looks like for fish? Is there an understanding of how a happy fish acts and what it looks like, which could lead to key recommendations being made and the setting of criteria that must be met within a farm?
