Creative Salmon Honoured For Suing Staniford

Aquaculture Today, an industry publication, has announced that the Creative Salmon Company Ltd. will compete against four other nominees in the Contribution to Aquaculture Category of the Fit for the Future Awards.

The awards ceremony will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland April 18.
