by Contact on 8 October 2026

Requirement

The UoC shall time fallowing periods to occur outside the out-migration period of native salmonids.

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • This indicator requires the UoC to schedule fallowing periods outside the out-migration period of native salmonids.

  • The UoC should

    • Identify the local out-migration period of native salmonids in its operating region.

    • Schedule fallowing periods so that no fish are present in cages during this time.

    • Work with scientists, local fishery trusts, and regulatory bodies to align fallowing timing with migration patterns.

Evidence of Implementation

  • The out-migration period of native salmonids has been determined.

  • Documents demonstrating fallowing periods have been scheduled outside the out-migration period.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • Fallowing periods occur outside the out-migration period of native salmonids.
