Not easy to know, but many could be imported from Denmark probably, scottish and faroese salmons are in the same population.
> Fishing in Scotland can be extremely expensive
The NASCO headquarters are in Edinburgh in fact. Is a measure to try to recover the species. To fish the genetically better specimens just a week before to spawn is a silly move (you are killing millions of fingerlings).
Americans are also worried about the US fisheries and concerned about the need to preserve the resource. All atlantic salmon in the US market is farm-raised.
