55% of Scotland's Food Exports are Fish and Seafood.

Scotland is the largest producer of farmed salmon in the EU; responsible for the majority of UK aquaculture production. It is the third largest producer of farmed salmon in the world, behind Norway and Chile.

Mussels from Scotland are now available as certified products. In 2010, Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group (SSMG) rope grown mussels became the first farmed seafood in the UK to be awarded Friend of the Sea (FoS) certification. The SSMG group (representing about 70% of total Scottish mussel production) consists of 14 mussel farms which are located on the Scottish west coast and Shetland.
