Aquaculture and Seafood Ireland spoke to Marine Minister Charlie McConalogue about the future of Ireland’s seafood industry Aquaculture and Seafood Ireland spoke to Marine Minister Charlie McConalogue about the future of Ireland’s seafood industry.

Why has Ireland’s aquaculture industry consistently failed to realise its full potential in production and employment?

We do have to work very hard at developing the potential of our aquaculture sector. I know there has been lots of frustration within the industry in recent years at its failure to develop all its potential, and I understand that.

good licensing framework and infrastructure in place. But, obviously, the situation of the last number of years where there have been so many challenges around renewing licences for existing sites has been an impediment to that.

In fairness, though, a lot of work has been done related to addressing those, especially in the shellfish sector. There is an increased focus now on trying to address the licensing backlog in finfish.

Aquaculture is an exciting sector, and, as Minister, I will work hard to try to develop it. There has been a lot of challenges in recent years with delays in aquaculture licensing.

Still, there has been a lot of progress about that recently.

The licensing backlog has not only frustrated producers but has also hindered development and discouraged investment. So, what progress is being made?

I now want to see that progress accelerated and those remaining licensing issues dealt with and a

A lot of effort, time and resources have been used to deal with the backlog in shellfish licensing backlog.

4

Twelve hundred of those licences have been issued now, which has taken up a lot of the resources allocated to it. Thankfully, it is now in a much more positive space.

The focus will now be on putting the time and effort into dealing with licensing in the finfish sector. Thirty-seven marine finfish licence applications are currently on hand.

However, at the request of the marine finfish farming sector, I recently extended the timeline for applicants to submit their environmental impact assessments by the end of June.

No aquaculture licence can be determined without an environmental impact assessment on hand and completed. The applicants themselves requested that additional time, and I hope that it will be the final extension. Eleven of those thirty-seven are currently being assessed.

The previously dedicated resources to the shellfish

sector are now focusing very much on the finfish sector. The critical task is to resolve and determine those.

An aquaculture licence in Ireland is for ten years.

However, a Belgian mussel producer recently received a twenty-year licence. Would you consider extending the licence period to attract investment?

There are significant differences between the Belgian model and our own. For example, most of our applications tend to be in bays that would have designations, whereas the Belgian model would be different.

Twenty years is a long, long time. Indeed, a ten-

year aquaculture licence is a good one to give; it is a significant period in any business. However, it is more important to have an efficient and streamlined licensing system. I am confident in terms of the work and the new structures being put in place to have that. My objective as Minister is to ensure that the structures and process in place allow aquaculture licenses to be dealt with in a timely fashion.

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

Is the Aquaculture Licensing Appeals Board (ALAB) sufficiently resourced to manage the licencing backlog and process new applications?

We have seen some twelve hundred aquaculture licences issued in the period

2013-2014. Obviously, that led to a particular volume of appeals from applicants who were refused or indeed from objectors.

And those that would have made observations and submissions appealing a successful decision to grant a licence.

I’m very conscious that there is a significant delay there, and something I want to try and resolve. In the same way that issuing an 5

initial licence is essential, having an appeals process that can deal with the volume is equally important.

The volume at the moment is not representative of what probably would be there on an ongoing basis because of the fact that the backlog is not yet dealt with.

Brexit was never going to be something that positively improved the position of Irish fishermen. This was always going to be about trying to limit the damage.

But, unfortunately, this did not prove possible, given how the negotiations evolved.

When I met with ALAB some weeks ago, I made my position clear as Minister that I would work with them to try and resource them as required to deal with the volume of work they have on hand. I want to support ALAB to ensure that the current delay can be addressed and got into a reasonable space where there is a more acceptable timeframe for appeals to be dealt with.

One-third of the fish landed in the Republic is caught in British waters. The British would have blocked us from fishing in their waters had there been a no-deal Brexit. In addition, other EU fishing fleets that also fish in British waters would have been displaced into Irish waters. That extra impact on our fishing industry would have been really, really damaging. We worked very hard to prevent that scenario. We worked really hard to leverage other aspects of the Trade Deal in the negotiation around fishing to try and strengthen the outcome.

Fishing industry POs are angry and unhappy with the so-called Brexit fishing deal.

They claim it will harm fishing and dependent coastal communities. They also claim a bad deal was accepted in the end because Irish fishing just was not important enough.

I don’t agree with that portrayal at all. Fishing is really important to Ireland and to Europe. And fishing was an essential part of the Brexit negotiations.

Unfortunately, however, fishing was also really important to the UK. It was central to our priority objectives about what a final Brexit deal would look like.

6

The British Government looked to take back 100% of the fish that EU fishermen – including Ireland – caught in their waters. Ultimately, it was agreed that 25% of the fish that the EU fleet catches in UK waters would be reallocated to the UK between now and 2026.

Unfortunately, it has impacted other EU fleets because that 25% comes from EU fleets. But, most of all, it affects our fleet to a more significant extent than other EU fleets. Two of the key species re-allocated were mackerel and prawns, which are high-value species. We have also seen allocations of around 20% in some of our whitefish fleet – haddock, hake and megrim.

And that really hurts.

It means that between now and 2026, 15% of our total national quota will be lost as part of the Brexit deal. So there is no downplaying the fact that it will impact and be detrimental to our fishing industry - and to other EU fleets , but to a lesser extent than ours - because the burden we are taking as part of the overall deal is a larger one.

Brexit was never going to be something that positively improved the position of Irish fishermen. This was always going to be about trying to limit the damage.

We worked hand-inglove with the industry representatives right throughout the process up to the very end. But, unfortunately, at the very crunch, a deal was needed in fisheries to avoid a nodeal scenario.

You established a Seafood Sector Task Force on February 26th to mitigate the effects of the EU/UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement. What are you expecting it to achieve?

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement will see significant reductions in Ireland’s quotas for some key stocks, notably mackerel and prawns, as

part of the agreed transfer of quotas to the UK. Quota reductions will begin on a phased basis in 2021.

They will result in a loss to Ireland of stocks worth €43 million per annum by 2026 or a 15% reduction overall in Irish fish quotas. The effects are immediate, with 60% of those reductions taking effect from April.

The outcome of Brexit could have been much worse for the Irish Fishing industry in a no-deal scenario, with lack of access to UK waters for one-third of our fish catches that occur in UK waters, or increased displacement of the Irish and other EU fleets into our waters. Nevertheless, the agreed EU/UK outcome will still significantly impact our fishing fleet and their coastal communities. Government is committed to providing financial supports to those most affected to help our seafood sector and coastal communities adjust to this blow.

I asked the Taskforce to produce an interim report within two months, focusing on recommended arrangements for a voluntary fleet tie-up scheme to temporarily counter the impact of the reduction in quotas, which will begin from April.

The final report, to be delivered within four months, will address their recommendations for a voluntary fleet decommissioning scheme to adjust and re-balance certain segments of the fleet with the reduced fishing opportunities available and any other recommended initiatives to support our seafood sector and coastal communities.

Brexit and Covid - dual challenges for Irish aquaculture through 2020 Rory Campbell, Director of Seafood Technical Services, BIM

Shellfish exports That impact is particularly evident in oyster exports for the first half of 2020.

On average, the volume of exports to France dropped by 62%, and exports to Asia were down almost 50%. In that same period, mussels experienced a decline of 15% when compared to 2019.

Rory Campbell

2020 has been a remarkably eventful year as the industry faced the dual challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit. 2020 was also the year I took on the role of Director of Seafood Technical Services at Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), a position previously held by Donal Maguire before his retirement.

As you may note from my surname, I am not native to Ireland; however, I am no stranger to the seafood industry. I have worked my entire career to date in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Scotland.

At first glance, this might appear to be less severe than expected considering the effects of Covid 19 on the European foodservice sector.

However, many operators began to harvest early in the year before the full impact of the pandemic hit Europe.

France is the key export destination for mussels, accounting for 43% of export value in 2019. The impact in this marketplace is more pronounced with a drop

in export value of €2.7m, a decline of 21% on 2019 data.

The composition of the Irish aquaculture industry played a part in lessening the severity of the impact of the pandemic. The majority of shellfish businesses are classed as micro-enterprises – meaning they have fewer than ten full-time employees.

Of the 201 production units in Ireland, 179 are microenterprises.

The advantage of these small businesses is their agility and ability to change business models to deal with changing marketplaces.

However, it also means there is limited capital to weather the lack of sales in the short term. In addition to broader Government supports, BIM rolled out

a Covid-19 Aquaculture Support Scheme in December 2020, supported by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. The Scheme aims to assist viable aquaculture businesses impacted by low sales due to ongoing restrictions and lockdowns. The uptake of the Scheme was strong, with 151 applications received and approved. BIM administered a total payment of €1,228,157 to assist businesses’ recovery and contribute to the sustainable growth of production, value, and employment in the aquaculture sector in the years ahead.

Brexit From January 1st, we also had to contend with Brexit, which fundamentally altered

Joining BIM and moving to Ireland in the middle of a global pandemic has been challenging to say the least.

However, my problems of travel restrictions, remote working and living in a virtual world of Zoom and Teams meetings are minor compared to the ongoing challenges the aquaculture industry in Ireland is facing as a result of the pandemic.

Environmental sustainable Safe The choice to establish production sites of best quality waters, away from major production areas as well as the geographic distribution of its 9 sites between the Channel, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea, allows Satmar to modulate and secure its production. The complementarity of Gatteville and Leucate hatcheries, located at more than 1000 km from each other, guarantees the safety of the product in case of any incident.

Satmar activity consists in the hatch and raise mainly of oysters, but also of clams. Satmar produces diploids and triploids oysters (GTS or by crossbreed), Japanese clams, in spats, pregrowing, and half-grown.

The entreprise has 9 sites on the French coastline, selected for the quality of their waters: Gatteville-Phare, Lestre, Chausey on the Channel; Landéda, Ile-Tudy, Bouin, Saint-Philibert, Saint-Just-Luzac on the Atlantic Ocean; Leucate on the Mediterranean Sea.

Satmar is willing to preserve the essence of its products and to protect the biological balance of its production sites; therefore Satmar developed a production method without any antibiotics. This process is based on a sustainable production, less intensive than most hatcheries and on the geographic distribution of production sites. Satmar sites on Gatteville-Phare and Saint-Just-Luzac are certified AB Biological Agriculture.

our trading relationship with Great Britain and will continue to bring changes to the way product is brought to markets on the continent.

To help with these changes, BIM introduced a range of new services to support the Irish seafood industry prepare for Brexit and to help minimise disruption to trade as much as possible. For example, to provide accurate and up to date information on Brexit, BIM created a dedicated Brexit Hub on its website. This is proving to be a popular source of information for the seafood sector, with over 10,000 visits to the site in the run-up to January 1st.

The Brexit Hub provides a complete list of services offered by BIM. It also includes a recently added Brexit FAQ section, providing answers to key industry questions about Brexit. The solutions give a general overview of each topic and provide more detailed and valuable links for businesses requiring it.

BIM is also offering a Brexit Mentoring Programme, providing one-to-one support between seafood businesses and a specialist Brexit advisor. Brexit is a complex issue and an area of enormous concern for the industry. The team at BIM are working hard to keep the mentoring programme as easy and accessible as possible for the industry. I would strongly encourage any company that has not already availed of this support to do so by clicking on https://www. bim.ie/brexit-hub.

National Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Although Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic have dominated headlines in the last twelve months, one of the highlights for the aquaculture industry in Ireland is the new National Strategic Plan for Aquaculture (NSPA).

The NSPA will inform investment priorities for aquaculture in Ireland’s operational programme under the European Maritime, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Fund, covering the period 2021 – 2030. The new plan differs from the one published in 2015. It aligns to four new horizontal objectives detailed in the new EU Strategic guidelines, published in April 2021.

The four objectives are: l Building resilience and

competitiveness l Participating in the

green transition

l Ensuring social

acceptance and consumer information l I ncreasing knowledge

and innovation The plan recognises the resilience and important contribution aquaculture makes to the national and EU food system.

Aquaculture functions in all circumstances and can ensure access to a sufficient supply of safe, nutritious and affordable food.

The new strategic plan will undergo a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the plan’s potential environmental effects and alternatives. It will also consider and address the environmental issues raised by the sector, statutory consultees, and the public.

It is recognised that effective consultation is critical to ensuring the effectiveness of the process and the resulting plan. And accordingly, it is intended that the environmental report and the draft plan

will be subject to full public consultation in late summer. This consultation will inform any required alterations to the plan and/ or environmental reports before its adoption in the Autumn.

I view this plan as being of critical importance to the aquaculture sector for the next decade. Therefore, I encourage everyone in the sector to engage with the consultation to ensure your views are accurately reflected.

I am very much looking forward to the time where Covid 19 is behind us and life returns to some semblance of normality.

When this happens, I plan to spend a significant amount of time on the road travelling throughout Ireland, seeing and learning about the industry here firsthand, as well as meeting many of you in person.

Until then, please stay safe, and I wish you success during the year.

ord Iascaigh Mhara provides a broad range of services and supports to Ireland’s Seafood Industry. In addition, two fulltime colleges, Greencastle and Castletownbere, deliver specialised training programmes. Courses include Deck Hand, Navigation, Fire Fighting, Engineering and now Commercial Diver Training at the National Fisheries and Diving College in Castletownbere, Co. Cork.

Divers are an essential element of the workforce on any fish farm and provide vital services to other forms of aquaculture. The role of the diver is varied and depends on the stage of the fish production cycle. Typically, this includes site and mooring inspections, seabed sampling and surveys, net inspection and repairs, attachment or removal of net weights, removal of mortalities from cages and recovery of items from the seabed. The bigger the site, the more work there is for divers and the more divers are needed to get the job done.

The aquaculture industry is now the largest employer of divers in Ireland. Many are full-time employees, and some are contract divers who provide services to fish farms during busy periods and then work in other areas of the diving industry for the rest of the year.

Dive team complete recovery of work piece

QQI Level 6 BIM ran commercial diving programmes from 1990 to 2000 and trained many divers who have worked on farms.

With no courses offered between 2000 and 2018, a shortage of divers became apparent as some retired or moved to different roles within the industry. So, based on industry demand, BIM revisited their diver training programmes and established a new set of courses.

Firstly, two new awards had to be developed: a QQI Level 6 Commercial Scuba and a QQI Level 6 Surface Supplied Diver (Inshore) to thirty (30) meters.

Awards were developed with Quality Qualifications Ireland (QQI) to meet current requirements for diver training based on Health and Safety Executive (UK), International Diving Schools Association (IDSA) & European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC) standards to ensure a world-class standard for diver training schools in Ireland.

BIM then had to develop its courses to meet these new award standards. Courses are delivered by the National Fisheries and Diving College in Castletownbere and approved by QQI and by the HSE (UK) to ensure divers

trained in Ireland receive internationally recognised certifications.

The National Fisheries and Diving College in Castletownbere is well placed to deliver these courses with a waterfront school and direct access to a sheltered body of water for the safe delivery of all elements of the course.

Bere Island provides sheltered waters even in the most challenging weather conditions enabling divers to dive safely almost every day.

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

Diver Training Bord Iascaigh Mhara now provide commercial diver training courses based on international best practice at the National Fisheries & Diving College, Castletownbere Co. Cork.

Divers working in Ireland are required to have appropriate training. Depending on the work they do, they must have either a Commercial Scuba or a Surface Supplied Diving qualification.

For most commercial diving, the preferred method is Surface Supplied Diving (SSD), which provides greater protection for the diver, unlimited air supply, and a fully independent back-up supply. Divers with this qualification can work on all aquaculture sites as well as inshore civil engineering projects. To work in the offshore oil, gas and renewables sectors, a further top-up programme is required.

The SSD course duration is four weeks full time and on successful completion candidates will receive a QQI Level 6 Certificate: Surface Supplied Diving (Inshore).

The Commercial Scuba course is a prerequisite for SSD. Students learn how to use scuba equipment and simple communication systems in a commercial setting. Divers learn how to work underwater in a range of environments and how to use core tools underwater.

The Commercial Scuba course is five weeks long and on completion candidates receive a QQI Level 6 Certificate: Commercial Scuba Diver.

Both qualifications are recognised by the HSE UK ensuring international validity and employability.

an International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) certified containerised surface-supplied diving system and recompression chamber together with the necessary ancillary equipment to run a diving spread.

Divers start at the basics using commercial scuba equipment with hand tools and learn both the necessary theory and practical skills required for industry and certification. The tasks undertaken by a commercial scuba diver are limited.

Surface-supplied equipment is preferred when divers must carry out works involving power tools, cutting, burning, or welding underwater.

Offshore Renewable Energy Surface supplied diving, as the name suggests, means that the diver’s air supply is provided from the surface via an umbilical, including communications and depth monitoring capabilities.

This is a safer alternative to scuba, where the size of the cylinder limits the diver’s air supply. The correct choice of equipment and dive skills required is driven by a Dive Plan and Risk Assessment for any diving project. Both are covered in the BIM diver training course.

While the BIM programme was established to provide divers for the aquaculture industry, the qualifications are the same for other commercial diving areas, including scientific diving, media, underwater archaeology, marine civil engineering, and many other areas where divers are required.

Indeed, Ireland is about to enter a new era in marine industrial activity with the development of offshore renewable energy, primarily 14

offshore wind energy.

Not only will this industry generate significant employment opportunities across a wide range of activities, but it will also generate substantial demand for suitably qualified divers.

New Irish diving regulations came into force in 2019.

Statutory Instrument (S.I.) 254 SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELFARE AT WORK (DIVING) REGULATIONS 2018 includes the aquaculture industry explicitly.

In the past, divers with recreational diving qualifications would sometimes carry out diving jobs on fish farms.

However, under the previous regulations, there was uncertainty regarding the qualifications required and applying the regulations to fish farms.

This is no longer the case and employers of divers are required by law to ensure that their divers are suitably qualified and competent to carry out the works required and meet the legislative requirements for minimum team size, type of equipment

used, and the appointment of a diving supervisor who is suitably qualified and competent.

BIM engage a team of specialised instructors to deliver the courses to the highest standard. Brian Murphy, Course Director, is a qualified Mixed Gas Saturation Diver and Dive Supervisor with over 40 years of experience as a commercial diver and instructor working in the North Sea and worldwide, both inshore and offshore.

The National Fisheries and Diving College plans to expand on the range of diving and associated courses available. Plans to create Dive Supervisors courses and offer specialised training in underwater welding, burning and power tools are well underway.

Cillian Gray is a qualified commercial diver, instructor, and equipment technician with over 30 years of experience as a commercial diver in inshore civil engineering, scientific diving, and aquaculture.

Food fraud: the real cost Matthew Morris, Audit and Investigations Manager, Food Safety Authority of Ireland theft and unauthorised enhancement, which accounted for 30% of suspected violations involving fish reported through the EU Administrative Assistance and Co-operation system for food fraud in 2018.

Unauthorised Enhancement

Matthew Morris

W

hen the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) identified contamination of beef products with horsemeat in 2012, sales of frozen burgers fell 43%, according to a 2013 article published in The Guardian newspaper, citing data from Kantar Worldpanel.

When the complexity of global food supply chains and the opportunities for food fraud were laid bare, consumer confidence in an industry boasting farm-to-fork traceability had been dented.

For industry and regulators, it was a significant wake-up call.

Food fraud, which is estimated to cost the global food industry around thirty billion Euro per year, is no stranger to the commercial fishing and aquaculture sectors.

Fish and fishery products are frequently subject to a range of frauds, including mislabelling, substitution, 20

Illegal processing to transform the appearance of canning grade or spoiled tuna to sushi-grade tuna is one example. Here a fraudster will subject the tuna to treatment using nitrites or carbon monoxide to bring about a colour change and create a fresh appearance.

Apart from the obvious consumer deception arising from this practice, there are also potentially serious food safety risks as these illegal treatments may conceal spoilage resulting from temperature abuse. As tuna species are associated with high levels of histidine, when temperature abuse occurs, it quickly converts to histamine, which, at sufficiently high levels, can cause illness shortly after eating the affected fish.

Shellfish Fraud Harvesting live bivalve molluscs (LBMs) from unclassified production areas or placing LBMs from Class B production areas on the market, without the necessary purification or relaying, constitute other fraud opportunities potentially serious human health risks.

In other cases, what starts as an unforeseen food

safety issue can spiral into the realms of fraudulent and deceptive practices when decisions are made in the interests of economic gain rather than consumer protection.

As an Environmental Health Officer working in central London some years ago, I investigated a spate of Norovirus infections among Valentine’s Day diners at two restaurants. The diners had one thing in common: they had all eaten raw oysters supplied by a major London shellfish wholesaler provided by an Irish oyster grower.

It emerged that two days earlier, the Irish authorities had issued an enforcement notice requiring the oyster producer to withdraw those oysters already on the market due to Norovirus contamination.

Why then were the oysters in question still available for service on Valentine’s Day? The restaurants that served them did not know about the withdrawal. The Irish producer had asked the London wholesaler to let the producer know if they received any complaints - not exactly the actions expected for a product withdrawal.

We can speculate that the decision could have been economically motivated.

Readers may recall that in 2009, a Cork-based seafood company received a penalty of €54,700 for a raft of food safety charges, including failing to provide distribution details for unsafe mussels, which caused 219

people to become ill due to dangerous levels of biotoxins.

Had the business acted quickly and effectively to withdraw the contaminated products from the market when it first became aware of the problem, the outcome for the company and its customers could have been very different.

Regulatory landscape December 2019 heralded a new era in food safety regulation in the European Union. Regulation (EU) 2017/625, known as the official control regulation (or OCR), replaced its 2004 predecessor, and, for the first time, placed an explicit duty on food safety regulators to carry out regular official controls to identify intentional violations of food law perpetrated through fraudulent or deceptive practices.

The OCR also requires member states to ensure that the financial penalties for such violations reflect the economic advantage for the food business operator or a percentage of the operator’s turnover.

In the form of the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, Whistle-blower legislation is also helping the FSAI identify serious breaches of food law. As a result, there has been a steady increase in the number of protected disclosures received from those working in the food industry, some of whom had been reluctant to raise their concerns internally.

The concept of food safety culture has developed between the food industry and regulators over many years. This year it became a legal requirement for food business operators to “establish, maintain and provide evidence of an appropriate food safety culture”.

With the development of a central intelligence hub by the FSAI and its inspectorate, this strengthened regulatory regime creates a progressively more hostile environment for fraudsters.

What Can a Business Do? Food business operators need to think like wouldbe food fraudsters but put those thoughts to good use to identify potential

vulnerabilities in their supply chains and operations.

Food business operators will be familiar with HACCP-based food safety management systems to help ensure the safety of their food. They need to think about establishing Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Point (VACCP) plans, which involves a similar methodology to HACCP, but focuses on fraud by identifying vulnerable points in a supply chain so that mitigation measures are in place.

Food businesses should also develop positive anti-fraud cultures, where anyone can raise concerns of wrongdoing, confident they will be investigated and addressed.

If staff believe there may be negative consequences for speaking up internally or that it would be pointless to do so, they are more likely to raise those concerns with a regulator.

A supply chain is only as good as the sum of its parts.

A business’ products and brand can be affected by fraud elsewhere along the supply chain. Seeking assurance that suppliers and customers have counter-fraud processes can help mitigate the risks.

Just as there can be severe legal, financial and reputational consequences for delaying a food safetyrelated product withdrawal and failing to inform the authorities, failing to notify relevant parties of

suspected or established food fraud can also have damaging consequences.

The National Food Crime Unit of the UK Food Standards Agency has recently developed a free online food fraud resilience self-assessment tool to help businesses develop counter-fraud measures.

The tool is available from: https://www.food.gov. uk/food-fraud-resilienceself-assessment-tool and should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

Food businesses and those working in the food industry with concerns about possible food fraud can contact the Food Safety Authority of Ireland in confidence.

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture: a role in delivering the European Green Deal Frank Kane and Pauline O’Donohoe, Marine Institute What is the future of Irish Aquaculture?

In general, there is a growing demand for more circularity in processes and more sustainable practices across all industries.

Economic decoupling is a vital component of the European Green Deal, aiming to achieve economic growth while preserving a healthy environment. The aquaculture industry will be included in this shift to minimise or eliminate impacts, reduce waste, and increase circularity.

The European Green Deal provides an opportunity for the Irish aquaculture sector to position itself as part of sustainable food production.

Again, Ireland led the way with organic production and can again show how integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA).

IMTA offers a potential avenue to enable aquaculture’s transition to a circular model while increasing productivity and supplying quality, sustainable seafood. The concept is a simple idea, where multiple aquaculture species are farmed on the same site or close to each other in an integrated and complementary way.

The key element is the interactions on the farm or the bay between the different trophic levels (different

levels in the food chain). The wastes produced by the fed species (e.g. fish) is utilised as a feed, fertiliser and energy source for the lower trophic filter-feeding and extractive species (e.g. shellfish and seaweeds).

waste (faecal matter, uneaten food) and dissolved matter (metabolic waste (nitrogen)), acting as a nutrient source for other species.

The particulate waste serves as a food source for

This has the benefit of lowering the environmental load in the water and allowing a more circular and sustainable approach to farming. The concept of nutrient recycling reflects practices in agriculture, where manure is spread to fertilise fields and facilitate grass growth.

The classic view of an IMTA set-up is based on a fed element (fin-fish) coupled with extractive species (shellfish and seaweed).

The waste from the fed fish is in the form of particulate

filter feeders and deposit feeders, while the dissolved waste serves as nutrients for seaweed production.

This arrangement is doubly beneficial, as it increases growth in the extractive species and reduces the amount of waste material entering the environment, thus minimising any potential impact.

The concept can be considered holistically; the nutrient balance within a biological area or bay facilitates the planning of IMTA systems to ‘balance’ aquaculture in a broader ecosystem. For example, freshwater IMTA systems utilise hydroponics to grow valuable plant species in nutrient-rich wastewater and reducing potential discharge impacts.

of sea-urchins, sea stars, and sea cucumbers as site remediation or marketable products.

IMTA allows greater biomass production from a site while reducing the environmental impacts, closing the circularity, optimising the use of space, and providing diversity in product and economic streams. The bioremediation value of IMTA is one of the most relevant and valuable contributions it can make, improving sustainability and the environmental credentials of the industry, allowing the eco-intensification of aquaculture.

currently carrying out IMTA research at the aquaculture research site in Lehanagh Pool, Co Galway, together with five pilot sites, both freshwater and marine, across Europe, Turkey and China.

The project aims to validate the concept of IMTA by designing and implementing cost-efficient technologies in monitoring and managing IMTA and demonstrating optimal sustainable development based on ecosystem services and circular economy principles.

The European Union recognises the potential of IMTA and has funded several research projects in this area. The Marine Institute is involved in a number of these projects supporting the Irish aquaculture sector.

The project is developing intelligent technologies to enable the smart management of IMTA systems, progressing models to understand better and plan IMTA set-ups, and utilising pilot systems to demonstrate reduced environmental impacts, sustainability of the concept, and the socioeconomic benefits accrued.

It can be seen as an important tool to facilitate the sustainable growth of aquaculture, marine and freshwater, and promote its future development.

T

he Higher Diploma in Aquabusiness offers experienced workers in Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Processing the opportunity to avail of online relevant training.

The key skills of marketing, financial management, law and the regulatory environment, and innovation are vital to maintaining a vibrant sector in these challenging times.

A decision was taken in June 2019 to modularise the NFQ Level 8 Higher Diploma to facilitate those keen to benefit from accredited education and training that were already committed to full-time employment.

From the first intake of eight students in 2018, there are now eighteen learners on the Programme through blended learning, which industry representative organisations fully support.

Undoubtedly, a flexible form of education is needed to ensure the continued success and adaptability of lifelong learning to meet the diverse needs of fishers, fish farm workers and seafood processors looking to enhance their skills to meet the new challenges of the digital world.

Career Path The Higher Diploma in Business in Aquabusiness aims to expand Ireland’s global seafood sector. According to BIM’s recently published 2020 Business of Seafood report, the seafood industry in Ireland currently employs more than 16,000 people, including downstream employment.

Skills development and a career path for those working in the sector are central to the industry’s strategic development. The course is designed to cater for those looking to enter management, financial, Research and

Michael Ó Conaire, who was recently appointed as Bainisteoir of Comharchumann Sliogéisc Chonamara Teoranta at Carna, Co. Galway and is availing of the Aquabusiness course online, says: “This course is ideal for me in that I can work away from home and learn all the pertinent skills of marketing, law and finance that I can apply in my new post here in Carna”.

Michael is currently developing his shellfish business on the West Coast and believes that having the course available as single Certificates at Level 8 leading to a full Higher Diploma in Aquabusiness Award is just what the industry needs and means that access to the course is freely available without loss of valuable time and earnings.

Commenting on the continued success of the Programme, Dr Janette Davies said: “Through our collaboration with Bord Iascaigh Mhara on the Aquabusiness Steering Group, the programme has evolved through blended learning and offers progression opportunities for workers in Fisheries, Aquaculture and Seafood Processing and is highly valued by major employers in the sector.”

Northern Ireland’s perspective on COVID Mark McCaughan, Chief Fisheries Officer, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Northern Ireland.

I

The Northern Ireland Protocol has assisted the flow of fishery product into the EU, but there are new processes for product entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain under IUU Regulation as either raw material, product of animal origin, or a foodstuff.

t has been a difficult year for all seafood producers in Northern Ireland. The initial difficulties marketing scallops to the continent was seen as a blip, but this has persisted more than a year after the French hospitality sector first closed in early 2020.

The most significant impacts locally were felt when the United Kingdom went into initial lockdown, and with the closure of pubs and restaurants, the market for scampi shrank immediately.

In addition, processors had no requirement for Nephrops tails with both product and raw material backing up in cold store within two weeks.

Consequently, the majority of fishing boats at Ardglass, Portavogie and Kilkeel remained alongside.

Although some export markets for whole langoustine remained, prices weakened. Against this backdrop, the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Minister, Edwin Poots, was the first in the UK to announce financial aid to the catching sector. As a result, in the past thirteen months, DAERA made payments of £2,596,739 to 283 vessels to cover compulsory fixed costs.

The aquaculture sector has had similar issues.

Demand for trout slumped during 2020 following the lockdown impact on hospitality, and there have

26

been marketing problems for oyster producers.

Financial support schemes have been devised to support a proportion of income foregone in MarchMay and SeptemberDecember compared to average income recorded in the previous three years’ certified accounts. As a result, £127,000 had been provided to fifteen businesses at the time of writing, and work continues in this area.

EU Exit After some false dawns,

the Brexit transition period ended on December 31st 2020. However, there remain various unresolved difficulties for the fishing industry, including a lack of reciprocal access to fishing in both the 0-6 mile area and further uncertainty about the 6-12 area.

Ministers Poots and McConalogue discussed industry difficulties, and subsequently, DAFM extended the list of ports where UK registered vessels can land in the Republic of Ireland, which is helpful.

DAERA has undertaken a new inspection role at Northern Ireland Points of Entry consistent with the rules for products entering the EU regulatory area. However, carriers have had to adjust to new processes. By contrast, products have moved from Northern Ireland to the EU without problems.

Movements of live fish into Northern Ireland from Great Britain now have compulsory inspections on arrival consistent with importing any such material into the EU from a third country. These arrivals are relatively small and infrequent in number, and to date, we have successfully handled industry requests.

Discussions with the EU Commission continue about the future relationship with the UK and application of the rules. Northern Ireland is in a somewhat different position to the rest of the UK, given the existence of the NI Protocol, and changes continue.

However, we are confident that the industry can adapt.

Shellfish producers to monitor environmental performance Ronan Cooney, NUI Galway

S

hellAqua was recently awarded funding by BIM under the EMFF-funded Knowledge Gateway Scheme.

The project will commence in May 2021, and will be led by the MOREFISH Group, an aquaculture research unit based at the National University of Ireland, Galway.

LCA in Irish aquaculture has been used mainly in freshwater aquaculture and seaweed culture. During NEPTUNUS, producers expressed an interest in how they could learn more about the potential ecosystem services which this form of aquaculture can provide.

The outputs from ShellAqua will allow operators to estimate the level of ecosystem services they may provide, and also contribute to a better understanding of the benefits of shellfish aquaculture.

The producers were particularly interested in estimating the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus sequestration potential associated with their activity.

NEPTUNUS The project was developed from partnerships and engagement with industry through the Atlantic Area Interreg project, NEPTUNUS. One of the primary activities of the NEPTUNUS project is the benchmarking, for the first time, of the environmental performance of aquaculture and seafood products (carbon, energy and water footprints using life cycle assessment (LCA)).

The industry partners who supported the ShellAqua application were Wild Atlantic Oysters, Blackshell Farm and Kelly Oysters.

The application was also supported by the communitybased organisation Cuan Beo and IFA Aquaculture. The locations of these sites will allow for the development of datasets and profiling of mussel (Mytilus edulis) and oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture in Galway Bay, Clew Bay, Sligo Harbour and Drumcliff Bay.

Work packages The project has four goals, split over four work packages, each formed around producing tangible outputs for the industry and wider stakeholders.

First goal - to engage in the knowledge transfer of methods, results and approaches. Industry partners will be actively engaged throughput the project through a series of workshops and training events. The workshops will help keep the project aligned with industry knowledge and the data gaps they have identified.

The training events will provide tools and materials on how operators can keep track of their environmental performance with modules being developed on LCA, the circular economy and monitoring.

Second goal - to develop an ecosystem services-based tool using operational and monitoring data for each site. These datasets will be

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

developed using laboratory scale experiments, remote and traditional monitoring.

Tissue, shell and water analysis will be conducted at all the partner sites in order to develop site and region-specific datasets.

The combination of these datasets will allow for the estimation of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus sequestration rates of the study sites and species, thus facilitating the development of a tool to estimate the potential ecosystem services.

Third goal - to develop life cycle datasets on mussel and oyster production in order to develop a second tool that will allow operators and producers to continue monitoring their environmental performance after the project concludes.

The tool will be LCA-based, and will allow operators to develop carbon, water and energy footprints using their own data. The major production processes or stages for mussels and 27

oysters will be captured within the tool, enabling operators to track any hotspots in their activity from cradle to farm-gate.

Another aspect that will be investigated is the role that circular economy and waste valorisation strategies can play in the eco-efficiency of shellfish production (Figure 1).

The project expects to provide results of interest not only to industry but also to wider stakeholder groups.

The expected outcomes from ShellAqua will include farm level tools to estimate carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous removal (i.e. ecosystem services), a sustainability tool, valorisation strategies for shellfish waste streams and knowledge transfer. Through developing this network with a focus on strong industry engagement, it is expected that research outputs from future projects can proactively support industry identified needs.

Fourth goal - to assess the economic benefits of the outputs from the preceding goals.

The results of the previous work packages will be used to estimate the value of the ecosystems services provided by shellfish aquaculture at these sites.

The marketing potential of the results and how they may be capitalised, either directly or indirectly, will be assessed and used to arrive at recommendations

Figure 1: Overview of the LCA, ecosystem services and valorisation approaches that will be used in ShellAqua.

for valuation, exploitation, commercialisation, unique value proposition, monetisation and promotional opportunities of the results. The

final part of this goal is to extrapolate the results nationally, and estimate the benefits, impacts, opportunities and potential value to the sector.

Ball burst, game over: Brexit seafood debacle Kevin Killeen

D

espite repeated warnings that things would not remain the same, and even when quota cuts of up to 20% were alluded to

by Michel Barnier in the run up to the final phase of negotiations, the shape of the Brexit deal between the UK and the EU left the Irish seafood industry reeling.

The fishing industry paid the cost of the deal with the EU, and Ireland paid a disproportionate amount of that.

has taken. A meeting in December involving the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, Marine Minister Charlie McConalogue, and the seafood industry saw the establishment in February of a Seafood Sector Task Force of the great and the good and stakeholders in the seafood industry who will now have to figure out a way forward. The fishing industry cry is that it wants more fish, not money, but money is likely to be the only thing available.

The damage done when Ursula von der Leyen and Boris Johnson disappeared into the ‘negotiating tunnel’ will be long-lasting and profound for the seafood, catching, and processing sectors. It undid the solidarity which had been a hallmark of the negotiating process since Brexit became an issue in 2016.

Fishing Is Not Important Enough?

Ritualised Gnashing of Teeth

The international infighting is well advanced, and the trench warfare at home in Ireland is already equally bitter. The seafood sector has difficulty getting traction, and public understanding of the significant costs involved for it, as the oxygen of publicity continues to be consumed by the Northern Ireland Protocol and its attendant tensions.

As part of the agreement, the EU has had to cede to the UK the right to fish stocks withn the UK’s EEZ which were previously shared among all EU countries. €43 million annually worth of fish quotas - at first-point-of-sale - is the recurring cost thus paid by Ireland, mainly in access to mackerel, and a series of whitefish and Nephrops quota will permanently reduce vessels’ earning capacity and export volumes from Ireland.

In the coming months and years, Ireland will lose hard-won markets to the UK and other competitors.

Much was made of ‘burden-sharing’ and the need to re-balance the costs paid by other EU fishing nations. This was just more ritualised gnashing of teeth which will come to nothing, because when it comes to trading fish resources, Ireland’s EU colleagues are not renowned for their charity.

The government was quick to recognise the hit the seafood sector

Just how much money will be forthcoming is a function of the size of the Brexit adjustment funding cake and what share Ireland’s fishing sector can expect – and how much will be gobbled up by the rest of the economy.

The Brexit deal is a watershed moment of ‘pure change’ for much of the seafood sector. Its effects on aquaculture will be confined to trading and logistics difficulties.

But the wild-caught fisheries will have to find a new equilibrium in the coming years – an equilibrium that can only be detrimental to employment and investment.

Brexit was never going to be a bed of roses, but there was, it now seems, an over-reliance on not being sold out at the death, which is what happened.

The only difference is that the sale took place far from these shores, and it seems now that Irish fishing was just not important enough.

W&J Knox installs new equipment and plans to expand its product range

N

etting manufacturer W & J Knox Ltd continues to invest in their Ayrshire plant, with the arrival in the last year of a larger 16t capacity crane and a new centrifuge (water treatment facility).

This is one of the largest net service stations in Europe, handling over 1,000 nets per annum and complementing the manufacture and supply of new nets. Knox may be distant from the main aquaculture biomass, but the fish farming industry ensures continued employment in the small town of Kilbirnie for a staff of 70, with no episodes of furlough during the last year.

Through Knox’s working partnership with Indian net supplier Garware Technical Fibres Ltd (GTFL), netting materials from nylon through UHMPE (Dyneema and equivalents) to their rapidly innovating and patented, knotted Sapphire HDPE range are available and can be tailored to suit individual needs.

Sapphire Seal Pro has been revolutionary in that it has provided a single-layered 30

solution to predator exclusion. The twine size required can limit the mesh size available, but with the average size of salmon smolts increasing, this is generally not a problem.

The Garware Sapphire range has been designed from the ground up for aquaculture, with singlesided knots on the inside of the net to minimise abrasion and, conversely, irritate the snouts of seals on the outside with a raised knot profile.

With anti-predator nets remaining in situ for an extended part of the production cycle, fouling has always been a ‘growing problem’ on traditional twines. To this end, Garware has been developing its patented V2 twines that have nano-particles of copper introduced during the extrusion process. As well as adding density to the material, there is a measured level of resistance to fouling that also helps during the cleaning process.

Roger Dehany, Norwaybased Selstad AS took a majority shareholding in Knox earlier this year.

The two companies have very similar profiles, and Knox hopes to add to its portfolio of products as time progresses. Otherwise, the change in shareholding was seamless, with the same Knox team dealing with your enquiries.

Seaspiracy’ or just plain old Seaspoofery?

Riddled with lies A simple fact-check on ‘Seaspiracy’ shows that it is riddled with lies, halftruths, woeful inaccuracies and generalisations. It is propaganda, pure and simple and needs to be called out.

Donal Maguire, Avonbeg Consulting

Compulsive viewing It’s compulsive viewing, and some of the images portrayed are shocking and very impactful. Worse still, the industry spokespersons are all truly awful at their jobs; they stutter, look shifty, give mealy-mouthed answers and come across like apologists for genocide.

J

ust when the Irish seafood industry was beginning to learn to live with the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the disruptions caused by Brexit, along comes a new crisis in the form of expertly packaged militant Veganism propaganda called ‘Seaspiracy’.

I recommend it highly as viewing for anyone who has an axe to grind, has scant regard for the truth, and who likes to add two and two together and get 120 as the answer!

At face value, it’s a touching story of the coming of age of a sensitive young man who purports to ‘love the ocean’ and everything in it and how he stumbles naively around the world, having his eyes opened to the wickedness of the seafood industry.

Everywhere he goes, shocking things seem to be happening.

Dolphins are being deliberately killed; whales are being slaughtered by latter-day deranged Vikings with daggers.

He (our compassionate narrator) is in constant danger of arrest by dark forces because he seeks the truth.

By contrast, those pushing the line of the documentary makers are shown in attractive settings looking calm, authoritative and seem like reasonably concerned citizens worried about the planet’s future. All in all, it’s a very well-made piece, complete with spooky music and heart-rending sound effects at critical moments.

freshwater for irrigation?

Such problematic issues were airbrushed out and ignored in the filmmakers’ thinly disguised rush to push a militant vegan agenda.

In truth, the more one looked at ‘Seaspiracy’, the more its inherent malignancy and bias became apparent. There is no denying that the seafood industry has its problems, and there have been some bad practices. Nevertheless, the way to address that is not to run around the world misrepresenting one’s true purpose, tricking people into misleading situations, and stitching them up like so many kippers, using ‘Gotcha’ journalism.

I felt moved to write about it because several worried people came to me, having watched it and wanted to know should they give up eating fish?

Of course, the answer I gave was a resounding ‘No!’ But it did make me realise that decent folk were being taken in by this skilful farrago of lies, and there was a need to push back.

So, let’s all of us, with the knowledge and the experience, stand up and call out this piece of malignant scaremongering and, using the facts, defend our industry and the vital and sustainable livelihoods it gives to our coastal communities.

Even as a seafood professional, I admit that I was caught up in it until I started to listen more closely and ask myself the fundamental question: is this true, is he right?

Then the cracks started to appear, and I realised that far from comparing apples with apples, the film was comparing artichokes with golden eagles and drawing outlandish conclusions from apparently plausible, but in fact, utterly bogus comparisons.

‘Just stop eating fish, and the oceans will be fine’ was the message being relentlessly plugged. But what are the 3.3 billion human beings who depend on seafood going to eat instead? How are we going to feed the growing world population when we have already exhausted the supply of arable land and

rish Aquaculture must look forward with renewed optimism, despite the uncertainties of turbulent markets, ongoing Covid-19 restrictions impacting production, trade and ultimately income, and the reality of Brexit since January 1st 2021.

In the face of these challenges and uncertainties, the Irish Aquaculture sector has yet again proven its resilience, adaptability and worthy place as a primary food producer providing vital employment at a time of great economic uncertainty.

A renewed focus on the importance of food production resulting from the Covid pandemic shows the value of sustainable food production systems.

acknowledged the difficulties experienced by the sector in recent years. Such recognition for any sector of our industry is rare, and while it is welcome, real and meaningful support from DAFM and other State agencies must follow.

Action is now needed to progress regulatory reform and policy that to develop Ireland’s aquaculture industry sustainably.

The announcement at IFA Aquaculture’s AGM on October 22nd 2020, by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue, of a Covid-19 financial support scheme was a welcome move for rope mussel and oyster farmers adversely impacted by the loss of sales due to the pandemic.

Aquaculture Licensing Review Implementation plan

While the shellfish sector widely welcomed such financial support, it goes without saying that this scheme will need to be reopened in 2021, with a widening of the eligibility criteria to include aquaculture businesses producing species whose production and sales have also taken a hit.

The implementation of the Aquaculture Licensing Review Group’s recommendations continues to be a key policy for IFA Aquaculture. We continue to seek a clear commitment from the Minister for an implementation plan that prioritises clear timelines for the recommendations outlined in the Review.

Announcing the scheme, Minister McConalogue

IFA Aquaculture has sought to engage with DAFM officials

and other ministers over the years to progress the implementation of these recommendations, but it has been a long, drawn-out process. Nevertheless, IFA remains available to engage with DAFM to ensure the progression of sustainable aquaculture development in Ireland.

At the 66th IFA AGM in January 2021, Minister McConalogue took questions from the IFA committee chairs. IFA Aquaculture chairman Michael Mulloy queried the commitment to an implementation plan for the recommendations of the aquaculture licensing Review.

Minister McConalogue said he recognised the difficulties over many years in clearing the backlog in aquaculture licensing. However, now that the backlog is clear for shellfish, he would focus on making progress with finfish licence renewals. Resources in DAFM had been committed

to find new ways to adapt to the implications of a changing world. The Irish Aquaculture sector is once again adapting to the challenges it faces.

A functioning aquaculture licensing system continues to be a key priority to unlocking the future potential of our industry.

Appropriate legislative reform must facilitate opportunities. It

is widely acknowledged that the Irish Aquaculture sector needs the policy to allow for sustainable development of the industry.

The inclusion of IFA Aquaculture on the recently convened Seafood Sector Taskforce provides an opportunity for us to contribute to initiatives and developmental strategies to

The Irish Aquaculture sector has always been proactive in navigating its way through a crisis and finding novel ways of dealing with challenges and setbacks in its path – 2020 yet again proved this to be true. There is still a way to go through the Covid-19 crisis, with Brexit also added to the mix, but Irish Aquaculture has reason to look to the future with optimism.

Pharmaq has it covered…!

Medicinal Products Since the last edition of Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland in 2020, there have been a few changes to how PHARMAQ operates in Ireland, including supply.

For the time being, Brexit means that pharmaceutical products batch released for sale in the EU cannot now transition through the UK for re-entry into the EU Single Market.

PHARMAQ Ltd in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, can no longer supply vaccines, lice therapeutants, or anaesthetics to fish farms in Ireland. However, these products, all of which require veterinary authorisation before sale, will be supplied directly from our facilities in Norway.

The direct and efficient air freight service operating between Oslo and Dublin has already proved to be a seamless supply route.

Your veterinarian can place orders with Laila Egeli in our Oslo Head Quarters, whose contact details are included here.

Although orders will now be managed from Norway, Chris Mitchell (contact details below) will be available for sales support services and a point of contact for all technical or logistical queries.

atmar was established in 1972. After forty-five years of experience, it is now recognised as the most experimented hatchery in Europe.

This long experience has led us to produce various species, including shrimp, scallop, and edulis. We also specialise in growing clams and oysters.

Satmar’s nine sites along the French coast, each selected for its excellent water quality: Gatteville-Le-Phare; Leucate; Lester; Chausey; Landeda; Ile-Tudy; Saint-Philibert; Bouin; and Saint-Just-Luzac.

Our hatcheries in Gatteville and Leucate are located more than 1,000 km apart, giving us more bio-security in production. In addition, our nursery production on four separate sites is based on the same idea, allowing us more secure and controlled production facilities.

The strategic location of our sites makes it possible for us to have a secure and controlled production. It also means that we are more environmentally conscious in terms of our sites’ products, quality, and overall biological balance.

movement of the float in the water, making the line more stable even in rough sea conditions.

The oval shape design reduces the impact on the float from the ocean in rough seas, which in turn reduces the loss of crop from the lines. In addition, float handles are offset from the centre so that the head line will be submerged using only 25% of the float’s floatation compared to others that can be up to 50% of the float’s floatation.

The mooring eyes are strong and durable, with both a long and wide opening for ease of handling. This increases the lashing area for the head line and reduces the risk of wear and tear on head line ropes.

Manufactured in a marine grey colour that reduces the visual impact on the surrounding environment, the polyethylene is fortified with UV stabilisers designed, especially for marine applications. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time for the mussel farmer.

FiiZK: applying robust, innovative and reliable solutions to fish farming Ashleigh Currie, says: “I am confident that FiiZK is the right company to provide the fish farming industry with innovative, robust and reliable product solutions that will help overcome major production challenges faced in these markets. And I look forward to working closely with producers to facilitate these changes in farming strategies.”

Ashleigh Currie

FiiZK is the result of the recent merger of Norwegian companies focusing on the fish farming industry. Our product portfolio spans closed and semi-closed cages at sea, bespoke software solutions and consultancy services, to tarpaulins for land- and sea-based farming.

We have recently launched recycling facilities to commit to the sustainable use of materials and protect the environment.

We aim to combine software solutions and farming equipment to improve the functionality of our products to the advantage of the fish farmers.

At FiiZK, we have been expanding our workforce to hire some of the best minds and skillsets. As a result, we provide top-level solutions with over 130 employees based on the farmers’ requirements in our extensive client portfolio.

Ashleigh, a marine scientist and former fish health and welfare manager for Scottish Sea Farms Ltd, helps to drive our research and product development with valuable knowledge and experience on welfare-related topics and site dynamics, in addition to feedback from farmers and production managers

from our key partners including Cermaq, Lerøy and SinkabergHansen.

Certus Closed Cage Technology Now is an exciting time for FiiZK’s closed cage technology with clients in Norway and Canada using our Certus range (15,000 to 30,000 m3) of semi-closed containment systems (S-CCS) and our Certus Harvest holding cage (up to 700-tonne capacity).

Our systems development has been ongoing for the past ten years and is in commercial use for the last five years. The main development aims of the S-CCS has been to reduce the time fish spend at sea, or in some cases, to grow postsmolt fish to harvest size (80g to 5kg).

Our cages have also been used successfully to hold broodstock fish (5kg to 16kg) in their final sea phase.

Certus Harvest is our patented holding cage for fish awaiting processing that provides

optimal conditions for harvestsized fish and protects the surrounding environment from any biosecurity risks.

The cages are available for delivery in sizes adapted to the processing plant and existing waiting cage facilities.

Compared to land-based RAS systems, which have high capital expenditure and operational costs, the sea-based S-CCS provides a reliable and economical solution for the industry.

The large, floating S-CCS replenish seawater within the cage pumped from deeper depths (>20 m) to reduce the entry of unwanted sea lice and sustain optimal water quality to protect fish within and outside of the cage.

When it comes to protecting the external marine environment, fish faeces can be collected and removed from the system for processing as fertiliser or biofuel. In addition, the cage environment is monitored continuously by a sensor network for essential water quality parameters,

“We have so far been doing business in the UK from Norway and are excited to establish a permanent business in the UK and Ireland. And are leveraging on our experience as the market leader in Norway whilst doing so,” explains FiiZK CMO Kevin Skarholt.

Technical Tarpaulins

FiiZK now has four factories/ service stations and a recycling unit, FiiZK 360, situated in Norway. Our most recently acquired factory in Bergen resulted from a successful merger with NWP (also a leader in the supply of tarpaulins to the aquaculture sector).

Our employees have extensive knowledge and broad experience, especially

in PVC welding, which means we can offer the market’s best and most effective products: lice skirts, freshwater depots, treatment tarps, and disinfection tarps.

We have improved our existing products and developed new solutions in freshwater storage, closed cage technology and lice skirts. In addition, a strong relationship with our customers enables us to carry out development projects to ensure we provide the best and most sustainable products thoroughly tested in challenging conditions.

Can fish egg disinfectants still be used in an increasingly regulated industry?

For many years, the fish production industry has used fish egg disinfectants at the hatchery stage. The objective is to improve hatchability and profitability by destroying diseasecausing microorganisms on the egg’s outer coating without damaging the egg itself.

Many disinfectants are designed to kill extremely tough and resistant bacteria and viruses and are not environmentally safe.

Therefore, the selection of the correct disinfectant active material and formulation of products for use on fish eggs in aquaculture is of great importance. The incorrect choice can lead to high mortality and environmental damage.

Buffodine - a buffered iodine disinfectant - was developed and patented

by UK manufacturer Evans Vanodine in the 1970s - the first disinfectant of its type. It was designed to kill viruses such as IPN and VPS on the outer membrane of salmonid eggs without penetrating or damaging them.

Since then, Buffodine has been used for egg disinfection by salmonid and other marine species producers worldwide.

The product displays effectiveness on a wide range of marine species and can prevent infection.

40

However, the use of these disinfectants has generally not been controlled by regulation, even though they provide good hatchability and low levels of mortality in broodstock fish.

The use of such disinfectants is generally not controlled by regulation.

However, this has now changed. In Europe, the use of all disinfectants is controlled by the European Union Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) (EU 528/2012).

This regulation applies to all EU member states and countries that have adopted it, such as Norway, to evaluate the disinfectants and authorise them for specific uses.

If authorisation is given, manufacturers must then apply for Mutual Recognition of the authorisation in member states they wish to sell the product.

It is a long, complicated, and expensive process to standardise the use and effectiveness of disinfectants in Europe, making them safe to use and preventing hazardous or environmentally unsafe

compounds from being used.

Iodine was the first active ingredient relevant for aquaculture to be authorised by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). As a result, member states are now approving disinfectant formulations based on this compound.

The high cost and technical demands of submitting product dossiers to the EU in support of a specialist egg disinfection product have caused most, if not all, other manufacturers to

withdraw their products from the market. Currently, it appears that Evans Vanodine’s Buffodine is the only authorised fish egg disinfectant in Europe (authorised biocide: UK2019-1172).

Buffodine has a European multi-language label confirming that it is regulated for use in Ireland as a proven, authorised, aquaculture disinfectant.

Stunning technology puts fish welfare first Consumers, retailers, and regulators expect high welfare standards from all farmers, not just during production but at the time of slaughter too, and fish are no exception.

Around the world, some countries have introduced limited legislation to protect fish welfare at slaughter, and reducing suffering is now the focus of the debate over stunning methods.

In Scotland’s salmon farming sector, stunning procedures have been adopted as part of the harvesting process for more than 50 years. They are independently audited by welfare and product quality schemes.

As an award-winning pioneer of in-water electric stunning, Dundee-based Ace Aquatec Ltd is well placed to drive up standards in aquaculture sectors that have not to date adopted humane slaughter systems.

The company is currently developing, testing and validating methods to humanely stun finfish as part of a consortium sponsored by the Humane Slaughter Association that includes Tesco and Waitrose.

The project is focusing on inducing immediate unconsciousness in species such as Nile tilapia, Pangasius, Seabream and Yellowtail Kingfish, but the company developed its sector-leading humane stunner, over many years of research, for salmonid and trout farmers.

Improved Productivity The technology - deployed on salmon and trout farms

Ace Aquatec stunner at Swiss Alpine Fish AG

worldwide, from Scotland to Chile to New Zealand has doubled harvest rates and improved productivity, making farmers’ lives easier.

But its capacity to stun fish in less than one second is what distinguishes this stress-free system from percussive machines that can deliver hitand-miss results, particularly with fish of various sizes.

The Ace Aquatec Stunner is a water-filled pipe with electrodes. Fish pumped through the pipe are immediately rendered unconscious by the electricity in the water.

A stunner is designed for its operating site, be it cage-side harvesting on a boat or barge, a box conveyor belt design for crustaceans, or a truck or a land-based operation.

The device’s size varies according to the location, with pipes that are up to eight metres long to ones confined

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

to a two- or three-metre space.

The company has now added two new products to its processing system.

The Ejector Pump uses only gentle water flow – with no propellors or vacuum – to guide the fish towards the electric stunner.

Zero Fish Handling When the fish exit the stunner, Ace Aquatec’s Waterjet Bleeder uses automated high-precision water jets and a robotic arm, instead of traditional physical blades, to cut and bleed the fish effectively.

This results in better hygiene, lower maintenance costs, and no manual calibration for different fish sizes.

Together, Ace Aquatec’s pump, stun and bleed solution offers more ethical harvesting with faster processing and zero fish handling.

Welfare issues during slaughtering have encouraged more farmers to rethink their harvesting strategies.

Certification has a safeguarding role too, and most retailers insist on third party audits from either ASC, Global GAP or BAP. Ace Aquatec is now in talks with potential new customers in Scotland, Norway, Chile, and Australia as the ethics of slaughter operations in aquaculture become increasingly centre stage.

Ace Aquatec CEO Nathan Pyne-Carter says that harvesting humanely is about consistency and needs to be more about the fish.

“This attention to welfare also pays dividends in terms of quality, and therefore price.

For farmers worldwide, this cost-benefit is crucial and lies at the heart of our work with the Humane Slaughter Association”.
