The group evolved through the Scottish Food and Drink Health Enhancing Foods Initiative supported by Scottish Enterprise.

Members of the Group include company representatives from industry and the main seafood, fish farming and economic development organisations operating in Scotland, such as Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation, Sea Fish Industry Authority, Seafood Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Executive Health Department.
