The study investigates the encounter rate for 20 and 86 turbines.

In most instances a precautionary assumption has been made in order to provide a reasonable estimate of the probability of an encounter taking place. The overriding assumptions made in undertaking this exercise were:  Salmon smolts from the east coast of Scotland migrate along the east coast and then through the Pentland Firth. A small proportion migrate through the Orkney Islands and the Fair Isle Channel. The major migratory routes taken by smolts is shown in Figure 2.3a;  Adults returning to spawn in east coast rivers also travel through the Pentland Firth and a small proportion migrate through the Orkney Islands and the Fair Isle Channel to reach their home rivers. The major migration routes taken by returning adults is shown in Figure 2.3b; and  There is some movement by adults east and west along the north coast (see Figure 2.2) and so some adult salmon returning to the north coast may also pass through the Pentland Firth. A number of other assumptions are made in relation to individual parameters and these are provided in more detail in relevant sections Ed Rollings Meygen Environment and Consents Manager Ed.Rollings@meygen.com pointOfContact EPSG Geodetic Parameter Registry 2022-12-12 revision WGS 84 / UTM zone 31N
