The Aultbea hatchery was the perfect place to see the Northern Lights this week. After a long day of working on an exciting building project, our MD, Matt captured this image of the aurora borealis - a definate perk of working in a remote location.

Our MD, Matt Johnston captured a rare snap of a bright and beautiful February day, on his way up to our Orkney site this week. Our site at Lamb Holm, which can be seen from the air here, has been very busy this month with its latest larval run of oysters.

This week a large team of contractors, system assistants, algae technicians, and managers all played a part in getting nine @Indust_Plankton Photo Bioreactors (PBRs) into their new home at our hatchery at Aultbea. A great team effort!
