A seafood firm has called for Scottish-produced smoked salmon to be granted protected status.
Moray-based Associated Seafoods said producers in other countries such as France and the US had "misappropriated" the Scottish tag for smoked salmon.
It wants the product to be granted protected geographical indication (PGI) status.
This would mean smoked salmon produced in other nations could not be packaged, sold or advertised as Scottish.
