Response

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) do not hold the information you have requested. It is not within the remit of FSS to perform monitoring in relation to fish health. This falls with remit of Marine Scotland Fish Health Inspectorate. For further information about fish health monitoring and testing I would need to direct you to Marine Scotland Fish Health Inspectorate – contact details can be found on their website -
