A proposal to use giant containers on Loch Long to separate wild and farmed salmon is rejected.
Plans for a new fish farm in Argyll have been rejected by The Trossachs National Park Authority.
The Loch Long proposal included the use of pollution-limiting containers which it was claimed would separate wild and farmed fish.The board said it was not not an appropriate location to host "development of such an industrial scale". The impacts associated with a potential escape of farmed fish at the site near Arrochar was "a significant concern", the board added.
Loch Long Salmon had argued it was a "game-changing project" and pointed out that semi-enclosed containers have been used in Norway since 2014 and have also been rolled out in the Faroe Islands and Canada.
"The semi-closed containment systems proposed - whilst noted as a substantial step forward for the industry -have not yet been trialled in Scotland and there is not a sound body of evidence on which to base decision making."
