Do you work quite closely with the industry? Do you have interaction with it? Is it taking on board the things that you are saying?

How do we do that? Are we doing it sufficiently? Is there good practice elsewhere in terms of the industry and academia working closely together?

Salmon Scotland submitted a stage 2 service level complaint to you. Can you explain what that is about, what Salmon Scotland’s concerns are and what improvements can be made?

What was that about?

In your report, you identify the need for the precautionary principle to be socialised. Can you explain what you mean by that?
