The Code of Good Practice
for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture

The Code of Good Practice for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture (CoGP) was produced in response to the recommendations of the Strategic Framework for Scottish Aquaculture (2003). Since its implementation in 2006, the CoGP has been widely adopted as an industry production standard in Scotland.

The CoGP is overseen by a Management Group including representation from the British Trout Association, acting for both the BTA and QTUK. Predating the development of the CoGP, Quality Trout UK incorporated the CoGP first in 2006 and again in 2012 to maintain parity between standards. Quality Trout UK is benchmarked against the CoGP and farms compliant with QTUK are also considered compliant against the relevant sections of the CoGP. Revisions to the CoGP are reflected in the Quality Trout UK standards.
