Notes. The NUTS II regions do not align exactly with the regions by which the Scottish data is analysed, so the figures presented for regions other than the Western Isles, Shetland, and Orkney, were estimated, but the level of potential error in the estimates is quite small.                      
The gender breakdown is estimated on the basis of the proportions indicated nationally for salmon farming in a report by PACEC (1998)
