The AMA comprises of three production areas and since 2005, 11 of the original marine sites have been made redundant, so now a total of 39 marine sites and 9 freshwater salmon and trout sites remain, with a total annual production of 23,292 tonnes of marine farmed salmon.
The major river system in Lochaber is the Lochy, but the Black water and the Rannoch are also significant systems. In Argyll the major river systems within this AMA area are the Awe/ Orchy and the Creran.
