Aquaculture Production Businesses operating non-commercial installations (NCBs): forms and guidance

Your legal obligation

The Aquatic Animal Health (Scotland) Regulations 2009 allow for a derogation that requires the registration of an Aquaculture Production Business that is operating non-commercial installations (NCBs).

NCBs are defined as businesses in which aquatic animals are kept with no intention of placing them on the market, and include:

• wild fish hatcheries not involved in moving aquatic animals out of the catchment
• universities and research establishments not moving animals off site
• installations holding aquatic animals with direct contact to natural waters, not involved in placing on the market
