AquaGen hires Butler for hatchery role
AQUACULTURE breeding and genetics specialist AquaGen Scotland has appointed Steven Butler as Development Manager for its Holywood Hatchery near Dumfries.
Butler, from Errol near Perth, comes to AquaGen with a strong background in aquaculture engineering project and hatchery management, having worked for several of the major salmon producers over the past 30 years.
He has consulted for AquaGen over the past 12 months, helping to make improvements to the hatchery, which AquaGen – which is headquartered in Norway – purchased in 2019.
Butler said:“It is a great opportunity for me to bring my experience to a company that plays such an important role in the Scottish aquaculture value-chain.”
