Dr. Cecil Beamish:

Much of the UK Scottish salmon industry is exporting to the EU. In the seafood area, there are higher tariffs on some of the farmed salmon products. That might be an issue of concern on the UK side. The tariffs are not at the level of those on beef, but they are at the higher end of the seafood tariffs. That may have implications.
