The British Marine Finfish Association is the representative body for the newly emerging marine finfish aquaculture sector. It has 22 members covering a broad sector of the industry including fish farmers, feed manufacturers and research organisations.

The BMFA endorses the vision of the entire aquaculture industry - working towards economic and environmentally sustainable growth which meets market demands and provides secure employment and economic activity in our coastal areas.

It provides representation at both a political and scientific level, with the Association committed to the need for good regulation and sustainable development. Recent scientific projects have included recirculation technology, transfer of larval halibut from endogenous to exogenous nutrition, as well as work on halibut broodstock nutrition.

The Association recognises the need to work closely with stakeholder groups in initiatives such as Area Management Agreements and to creating partnerships with legitimate and rational interest groups and working with them using science and objectivity. The BMFA is also committed to addressing feed sustainability through international expertise and analysis and by developing alternative opportunities for the future.
