Scottish Salmon profits are hit by disease outbreak

Scottish Salmon Company (SSC), the Edinburgh-based group quoted on the Oslo stock exchange, has reported a third-quarter rise in revenues of 21% to £21.5 million but said profits were being impacted by "biological issues".

Experts have warned that the salmon industry stands to lose millions from a parasitic disease outbreak, with SSC estimating it could lose 1000 tons of fish, or 4% of its annual production, though it said customer demand could be met.
