I have a brief supplementary question for David Brown, picking up on the question from my colleague Rhoda Grant about housing and infrastructure. Would Cooke Aquaculture Scotland, and the industry in general, be interested in supporting the call from Yell and Unst for fixed links to mainland Shetland? That is as an important element of the infrastructure, which I know that the salmon farming industry relies on.

So pen 1 was treated, but I think that there are seven pens there.

Thank you. I think that Ben Hadfield was talking about the daily routine—no, it was not Ben; it was David Brown.
It is good to see you again, David. You were talking about the daily routine, and you mentioned that 10 fish are taken. Is that from a whole farm or per cage?

And in each cage, what is the stocking density? It is 10 fish out of how many?

By a “cube”, do you mean a cubic metre?

At that peak, the 15kg per cubic metre would be how many fish?

I have a couple of questions for clarification. Ralph Bickerdike, in response to the convener’s question, you mentioned that pen 1 was treated. Is that correct?

Per cage, per site.
