PANDEMIC DISRUPTS SEAFOOD TRADE
INSIGHT
Where next for salmon farming? page 8
NEW HORIZONS
As most of Europe goes into lockdown in response to the spreading Covid-19 pandemic, with the restaurant trade closing its doors, the seafood industry faces ongoing uncertainty. This follows the drop in Chinese demand, with producers in Europe and Russia, the early casualties in a widening pattern of disruption. The seafood trade around the world is encountering logistics barriers in reaching its usual markets, and in some areas fishing vessel operators have been warned that catches cannot be accepted. Fishermen’s organisations have been in consultation with auctions and with government bodies, as the situation continues to change. “We are in a highly dynamic situation. As the virus spreads, new impacts are becoming manifest. Evolving regulatory responses and market reactions, mean that it will be necessary to understand exactly what is happening in a rapidly changing situation,” commented a spokesman for the NFFO, representing the English fishing industry. European fishing industry body Europêche has called for the European Commission to adopt urgent and extraordinary measures to tackle the economic

consequences of the pandemic. It has requested that the authorities reassure the public that there is no evidence that seafood or food packaging have been associated with transmission of coronavirus and that there is no reason to be concerned. Europêche is urging the European Commission and Member States to make legislative changes to facilitate measures to support the fishing industry through the crisis, as first sale prices collapse. “Many fishing companies will certainly have to temporarily cease operations because of the decisions taken by national authorities, designation of high risk areas, trade disruptions and lack of market demand,” said Europêche President Javier Garat. “We believe it important that DG MARE communicates to the governments and to the industry the availability of European funds and measures at their disposal, and adopts mechanisms that allow activation of urgent measures to help mitigate the severe economic damage caused by the corona pandemic.”

CHINA’S DEMAND FOR PROTEIN With African swine fever (ASF) continuing to decimate China’s pig population, and the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak halting the country’s processing sectors, whitefish exporters should find themselves well placed to capitalise on the market’s huge demand for protein, believes Rabobank’s senior analyst for seafood, Gorjan Nikolik. In recent years, China has accounted for about half of world pork production, but the rapid spread of ASF in 2019 led to a massive decrease in supply with an estimated 10 million tonnes taken out of Chinese supply chains. While the further extension of the disease in the country has slowed or even plateaued, a
further 10 million tonnes is expected to be lost in 2020. Putting these figures into context, Nikolik told the recent North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF), held in Bergen, Norway, that a potential loss of between 20 and 25 million tonnes of pork is equivalent to losing ten times the total volume of salmon farmed globally, or three times the amount of groundfish produced worldwide. Only half-way into the anticipated pork supply reduction, the Chinese market’s response has been a 250% increase in prices. “And we still have to lose another 10 million tonnes,” he said. 8 Full story on page 4

From the bunker…
With the unprecedented sight of borders closing, some of them for the first time since the Second World War, the highly international seafood industry is an immediate casualty of this new logistic nightmare
There’s only one subject right now. Only something tumultuous could have knocked the turmoil of Brexit off the front pages, and that’s just what we have. In fact, it makes the monumental disruption of Brexit look insignificant by comparison. With events unfolding at a startling rate, the reality is that any predictions are guesswork on a par with gazing into a crystal ball. So how long the current crisis is likely to last is anyone’s guess. As WF&A goes to press, most of Europe is in lockdown and there’s hardly a sector of people’s working or private lives that hasn’t been disrupted, with many businesses in turmoil as customers stay away. Some governments have stepped up and pledged to make good the shortfalls – others haven’t been so generous with promises of bailout cash for those staring disaster in the face. With the unprecedented sight of borders closing, some of them for the first time since the Second World War, the highly international seafood industry is an immediate casualty of this new logistic nightmare. There are boats tied up, merchants unable to shift the fish they have, prices plummeting on some markets, and cold stores filling up – while the supermarket shelves become increasingly bare. Regardless of how long the situation lasts – whether this turns into a short, sharp few weeks of chaos, or a protracted period of restrictions and precautions, it throws into sharp relief how fragile the lives are of those of us who live in developed countries, and how accustomed we are to having every luxury at hand. When stocking up on toilet roll is priority number one, we’re a very long way from being in touch with the bare essentials of life. As this whole thing is moving with extraordinary rapidity, there’s no telling where we’ll be by the time this is in someone’s hands… So all we can do is wish everyone as painless as possible a time of it, however long this lasts. Look out for your neighbours, scrub your hands regularly, please don’t go wild hoarding canned tuna and toilet paper – and see you on the other side.

Gorjan Nikolik also highlighted that ASF is currently spreading further into Southeast Asia with recent new cases reported in the likes of Philippines and Vietnam, making it now “an Asian phenomenon”. It has also been detected in some wild boar stocks in Europe, although he doesn’t believe the overall impact on that region will be too damaging, reports Jason Holland In the meantime, the situation in China is “pulling other proteins up” in terms of both demand and price, Nikolik said. But while the lamb and beef sectors have seen demand and prices shift upwards, that’s not the case for chicken, which “is not a good substitute for pork” in that particular market. Nevertheless, seafood exporters to China will find their competition becoming increasingly expensive. Also playing into the hands of the whitefish suppliers is the consumer shift towards buying products through modern retail and food delivery systems that focus on imported and processed seafood. Most traditional wetfish markets, which have always been preferred
by Chinese consumers who like to buy live or very fresh seafood in pursuit of higher quality, have been closed amid the coronavirus crisis. Consequently, online retail deliveries of seafood have increased five-fold. “Seafood was already a pretty strong category for online delivery. It’s estimated that around 4% of all seafood was delivered online before Covid-19. In the last few weeks this has probably risen to 25%. It’s showing the Chinese people new, interesting alternatives.” The coronavirus situation is also likely to extend the time needed to rebuild China’s pork production. At the same time, a lot of consolidation in the sector is expected. Therefore, even assuming that the outbreak doesn’t last much beyond the first-half of this year, Rabobank surmises that the pork supply will remain low through 2021. “After Covid-19 has gone there will still be a huge protein shortage. This is a great opportunity to distribute good seafood products with a good story,” said Nikolik. He also suggested that
8 Whitefish exporters should be well placed for China’s demand for protein
together, ASF and coronavirus are accelerating China’s transition from a net exporter to a net importer of whitefish. This is particularly the case for freshwater whitefish – China has been net importer of these species since September 2019 with the trade underpinned by far larger quantities of Vietnamese pangasius entering the market. In the longer term, Rabobank’s analysis points towards groundfish exporters having the same potential in the market and this could be supported by the strong prices brought by ASF. “This is an opportunity for everyone. When Covid-19 and African swine fever are over, I think we’ll have a great opportunity to sell really good, sustainable, healthy whitefish to them. “Also, if China continues to modernise in the way we are now seeing, it doesn’t make sense for it to be such a major global exporter of seafood. In fact there’s the big question of whether there should be any exports of any protein coming out of China,” Nikolik said.

2020 ICELANDIC FISHERIES BURSARY AWARDS WINNERS
Quality Fishing Gear and Service tailored to your needs
The winners of the 2020 Icelandic Fisheries Bursary Awards were announced at a ceremony held at the Ocean Cluster House in Reykjavík. Following the 2014 Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition, the organisers of the exhibition recognised the need to re-invest in the future of the fishing sector and introduced bursaries awarded to those currently in education within the fishing sector. The first bursaries were awarded in 2017. Presented by Mercator Media events director Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling, the two 2020 winners, both students at the Icelandic College of Fisheries in Grindavík, were awarded ISK500,000 towards their respective courses. The first winner Eydís Gróa Jónsdóttir is studying quality control within the fishing sector and the second winner, Kristófer Már Gunnarsson, is studying quality control and aquaculture. “In this all-important industry not only to Iceland but to the world as a whole, it is crucial to educate and bring on younger generations to continue successful and sustainable commercial fisheries, fish farming, and seafood processing/value added sector. Mercator is honoured to be able to help with this through these yearly grants,” Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling commented. “Altogether eight of our students have now received generous grants from the IceFishfund since it was founded by Mercator Media/The Icelandic 6 | APRIL 2020

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing
WHERE NEXT FOR SALMON FARMING? While as a consumer product, Atlantic salmon has transcended the seafood category, producers now need to adopt new harvest technologies to maintain growth, writes Jason Holland As a source of food for human consumption, fish farming has been around for centuries. However, the practice of rearing juvenile Atlantic salmon in open water cages until they reach suitable market sizes is a much more recent development – not really coming to the fore until the 1970s. This initial emergence owed much to the scarcity of wild salmon and its subsequent positioning as a luxury product. Today, Atlantic salmon has an enviable consumer profile. It is universally regarded as a healthy and nutritious protein that can be applied to a broad variety of convenient meal options and cuisines. It is, for example, responsible for a lot of the success seen in sushi, and vice-versa, while salmon poke bowls have become very popular in more recent times. By increasing product availability at reasonable prices, salmon farming has boomed as an industry, with the fish also successfully competing against other animal proteins. Consequently, demand for salmon has grown faster than for any other seafood. In both the EU and the United States, it ranks in the top three of the most-consumed seafood lists, and it’s making similarly strong inroads into emerging markets such as China and Brazil. CREEPING GROWTH According to salmon industry analysis delivered at the recent North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) 2020 in Bergen, Norway, by Kontali Analyse CEO, Ragnar Nystøyl, close to 2.6 million tonnes of farmed Atlantic salmon was consumed globally last year, contributing to an overall salmon consumption in excess of 4 million tonnes – the first time the category has reached this volume. While the market growth for Atlantic salmon averaged 6% last year, the harvest increased by 7%. Norway continued to be the number one producing nation with more than 1.3 million tonnes, followed by Chile and Scotland with 690,000 tonnes and 184,000 tonnes, respectively. With modest growth anticipated in most of these industries, Kontali has forecast that the 2020 output will edge towards 2.7 million tonnes. Indeed although Nystøyl expects demand to be disrupted in the short-term by the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus, particularly in Asian markets, he insisted that Atlantic salmon is a “resilient” product that’s capable of widening its reach in other markets while those that are affected “normalise”. FARMING EVOLUTION In the medium to longer-term though, salmon farming faces the significant challenge of space. It’s widely recognised that conventional cage farming in coastal zones offers only limited scope for the industry’s further growth. This is mainly due to the licensing constraints put in place by regulatory authorities and also because of very costly biological challenges such as sea lice. To overcome this significant obstacle, a number of farming ventures have been developing new technologies and techniques that produce the species in closed containment systems, either on land or in remote offshore locations. Emergence on any scale will take take time, however, so even factoring in some of these initial arrivals as well as increased 8 | APRIL 2020
volumes from newer farming regions like eastern Canada, the most optimistic industry observers only forsee a growth of around 6% per annum in the global supply through to 2025. Carl-Emil K. Johannessen, analyst at Pareto Securities AS, conceded that in a historical context, 6% growth is not very high. Moreover, he explained that it’s also a “fairly optimistic assumption” when compared to his company’s latest survey of salmon farming CEOs. That analysis found an average expectation of 2.6% growth in the coming years. It also learned that only 50% of those sector leaders believe traditional farming will be responsible for this growth over the next five years, compared to 80% just five years ago. Johannessen and Pareto also reckon that an additional 6% annual volume would be easily absorbed by the market. “There has been a fantastic demand growth in the last 10 years. This is in all markets, and we think that this will continue and be fuelled by the global trend of eating healthier food,” he said. “We expect the demand to continue to grow at around 5 or 6%, closely aligned with the supply growth. This, we think, will lead to continued high prices at least for the next three years. “We also think new technologies will come that will be able to supply the market with volumes at a lower price point than they are able to today. But this will take a lot of time and most of these are still at the test stage.” In just the last few years, there’s been no shortage of new salmon farming concepts touted in the market. While there’s considerable diversity in terms of the way they look and function, they’ve all been designed to reduce exposure to disease and environmental threats by preventing potentially harmful pathogens from entering the farm and to limit water exchange with the external environment. The first harvests from the sector’s frontrunners are starting to arrive at market, highlighted Johannessen. These include

SalMar’s offshore facility Ocean Farm 1, which is anchored in the Trøndelag region of central Norway. “There are many other initiatives being invested in to secure future growth,” he added. MARKET PROXIMITY In particular, investors have been getting enthusiastic about land-based salmon farming through RAS systems. Offering additional benefits like stable production, location versatility, and lower dependency on medication, RAS are intensive, usually indoor tank-based systems that achieve high rates of water re-use through filtration and other treatments. While this technology has been around for many years, mostly in hatcheries and applied with broodstock and juveniles, the opportunity to grow-out market-ready fish has caught the industry’s imagination in recent times. As such a number of new projects have raised considerable investment sums and are in construction or indeed first production stages, while many more are getting closer to funding. “This is not something that’s in the far off, distant future. It’s happening right now,” commented Johannessen. “We do know that it will be very expensive to increase production on land. A lot of capital needs to be invested before we will really see the volumes. Then it’s a question of how much it costs to produce salmon on land, and how profitable this new industry can be.” Karl Øystein Øyehaug, finance director at Atlantic Sapphire, has no doubt about land-based farming’s potential, particularly its ability to add local supply to the conventionally farmed products being fed into salmon-hungry consumer markets.
“We see such great potential in the US market. It’s not about one or the other because there’s enough space for everyone. We need a lot of supply growth to meet the demand. And at the moment, it’s hard to see where that supply growth is going to come from.” Furthermore, in producing at facilities close to markets, landbased systems offer a means to overcome one of the salmon farming industry’s biggest costs and environmental challenges – airfreight, Øyehaug said. “Our strategy is to produce on land, close to the market. Our biggest footprint is transportation.” Underlining the scope for land-based and offshore farming, Dr Solveig van Nes, CEO and founder of Marine Prospects, reminded NASF delegates that world authorities such as the United Nations have made it clear that society needs aquaculture. “We need the oceans for the future food demand, but we also need it for future value creation, for future jobs and the clock is ticking. By 2050, we need to double food production and it’s clear that it needs to come from the ocean,” she said. “That’s why aquaculture is so important and the industry has certainly responded. Look at the immense development seen in the last decade – investments are being made. And working together with researchers, authorities and other stakeholders, the aquaculture industry has developed some totally new technology. We have submersible, semi-closed and closed systems; we have offshore systems and we have land-based – there’s all these technologies that we didn’t know about 10 years ago which are today enabling us to produce seafood. It’s pioneering.”

ANALYSIS
THÓR SIGFÚSSON AND THE NEW FISH WAVE Thór Sigfússon’s sheer enthusiasm can hardly fail to make an impression. This someone with an irrepressible passion for the whole business of seafood
8 Students at the Southern Connecticut State University have been reading Thór Sigfússon’s The New Fish Wave as part of developing ideas for Blue Economy start-ups
Thór Sigfússon has made a huge effort to put that passion into practice. A few years ago he took the idea of a fishing industry cluster in Iceland, and ran with it. Since then things have mushroomed – and now his book The New Fish Wave details not just the concept of the cluster itself, but sets out both its successes and failures. Fortunately the successes outweigh the ideas that didn’t work out. It’s practically a given that not every smart idea will flourish, but as he points out in the book, these are things to learn from. The Iceland Ocean Cluster (IOC) started life as a research project at the University of Iceland and opened its doors in 2012. Originally one end of a building on the Reykjavík quayside that had for years been a net loft, the Cluster started out with a dozen companies and since then has grown the full length of this building as more companies were attracted to such an innovative space. Today there are around seventy companies based there, ranging from modest ventures to larger concerns, and bringing under one roof a startling variety of ventures that are involved in one way or another with the seafood business. Not all of them stay – some have simply outgrown what the Cluster can offer them and have moved on to bigger premises of their own, but there hasn’t been a shortage of companies seeking to fill the vacant space. At the heart of the Ocean Cluster and Thór Sigfússon’s overview of the seafood industry is the concept of waste – or rather, of eliminating waste – that there’s so much more to each fish than the fillet or the loin that ends up on a plate in a restaurant. The Iceland Ocean Cluster has become central to an emerging ‘new’ seafood industry in Iceland in which cross-pollination of ideas is a vital element. The IOC has become a agent of change for 10 | APRIL 2020
Iceland’s seafood industry in Iceland, and The New Fish Wave sets out both a vision of what the seafood sector could be – and needs to be – while detailing the experience of establishing such a venture. As the Ocean Cluster at the Reykjavík quayside has grown, sister clusters have also been established in the US, with the Portland, New Bedford and Seattle clusters all built around the same philosophy of driving innovation and collaboration in the marine industry. "Can we inspire other seafood nations to follow the Icelandic example; creating more value in seafood through innovation and collaboration?" Thór Sigfússon asks – and this is one of the key questions the book tackles. The seafood sector around the world has plenty to learn from Iceland, which in many ways has rapidly transformed itself from being one of the poorest countries in the world a century ago to its present position as a leader in the technology of many aspects of the seafood industry. “Iceland is a nation which has shown pride in its seafood industry and uses new innovation to safeguard the environment, create wealth, derive more value from each fish and manage fisheries in a sustainable way,” he said. “The oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable. Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history, oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation. Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future.

ideas is relegated to the back of the usual list of priorities. The New Fish Wave demonstrates that this can be done, and the obstacles can be overcome. It goes without saying that not every idea will come to full fruition, but enough of them will work out to make the change in philosophy worthwhile, and giving the ideas tree a shake will always produce a result. The New Fish Wave should be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the seafood industry’s development – and its themes and ideas have a relevance beyond fishing and seafood. 8 The New Fish Wave by Dr Thór Sigfússon is published by Leete’s Island Books.

having deleterious effects on ecosystems, biodiversity and small-scale fisheries.” The New Fish Wave provides a blueprint for how to set up a marine cluster – what to do and what to avoid – and how to spark people’s imaginations as their ideas mesh together, frequently identifying common threads that would not otherwise have been apparent. It also lays bare some of the traditional failings that industry can suffer from – not just the seafood industry - such as the club culture of keeping things within a tight circle or collaborators or acquaintances. The simple truth of it is that sharing ideas and asking a few questions is a healthy thing to do. There aren’t many rules for companies at the Cluster’s offices, but one of these outlaws making your own coffee. The thinking is that the communal lunch and coffee area is where people who wouldn’t normally interact will meet and that triggers ideas – and it works. There are plenty of examples of problems in one sector being solved with input from an apparently unrelated end of the same industry. “Our greatest success will probably be where we connect veteran fishermen with R&D people who have never been on board a fishing vessel,” he said. Secondly, Thór Sigfússon’s book sets out a vision of where the seafood industry should be heading. Anyone would imagine that it would be common sense to extract the maximum value from every ounce of raw material that’s landed – but for a whole range of reasons there are obstacles to this, not least the thinking that if something’s done like this already, why change it? to the reality that enterprises tend to be focused on their core activities to the extent that examining innovative

IDENTIFYING BARRIERS In order to identify the barriers towards utilising sidestreams to produce new ingredients for human consumption, WaSeaBi is conducting questionnaires in the seafood industry and carrying out consumer studies to identify the motives and barriers in relation to consumer willingness to buy products containing ingredients from sidestreams. It's also evaluating the commercial potential of any produced ingredients, and quantifying the specific environmental, economic and social impacts of any proposed solutions. "We are also establishing new sorting technologies for herring to enable sorting of the sidestreams into at least three fractions," Charlotte Jacobsen said. 12 | APRIL 2020
8 Partners in the international WaSeaBi project are aiming to develop new processes to utilise the currently under-exploited biomass in seafood production for high-value products
"At least three new storage methodologies for sidestreams will be presented to primary fish and shellfish processors and to transport companies, while new decision tools are being made to ensure the best possible valorisation of the sidestream and the optimal logistics to handle it. Work is also underway to develop new storage solutions for sidestreams before they're used for ingredients production. Any developed solutions will be analysed before upscaling and demonstrated at companies, with results disseminated to the seafood industry." Although still in the initial phase, the WaSeaBi project has developed promising storage solutions using antioxidants that can protect sidestreams. The team is also ready to obtain important information via questionnaires on the barriers faced by the seafood industry, to build on existing data sets and understand industrial partners who wish to leverage the project's findings to develop more circular business models. Initial lab tests on the production of proteins, bioactive peptides and savoury ingredients from seafood sidestreams are also looking promising, according to Charlotte Jacobsen. As well as herring, WaSeaBi is working with by-products from cod production in Denmark and Greenland, and a range of species including salmon, mackerel and mussels from Spain.

According to estimates around a quarter of waste generated from fisheries is discarded. Not only does this cause significant environmental impacts but it also results in a loss of the potential value of such products. With the global population expected to increase by two billion over the next 30 years and the demand for seafood continuing to rise, finding adequate modalities for fish waste management is becoming even more important. A new project is underway in Europe to tackle this issue. Known as WaSeaBi, a contraction of the words waste, seafood sidestreams and bioeconomy, the consortium is an interdisciplinary team of 13 partners from five European countries. The partners include three research institutes/ universities, one industry cluster and nine companies from Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, France and Spain. Together, they're aiming to develop new processes to utilise the currently under-exploited biomass in seafood production for high-value products. "WaSeaBi was established to solve the challenges that the seafood industry faces with its waste/sidestreams," said Project Coordinator Charlotte Jacobsen from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). "Only 30 to 50% of a fish ends up as a fillet. The rest is a sidestream that often ends up as a low value product, for mink feed for example, or it's wasted. There are a number of logistical challenges that needs to be solved before the sidestream can be used to produce new food ingredients. Furthermore, its quality has to be maintained at the same high level as the fillet if it's to be used for human consumption." Two key concerns surrounding low-value waste products are whether their quality is good enough for human consumption, and whether consumers will accept food that contains ingredients made from such products. In order to address these issues, the WaSeaBi team plans to optimise the utilisation of sidestreams from fisheries, aquaculture and processing industries by developing storage solutions, sorting technologies and decision tools to secure an efficient, sustainable supply system of bycatch and sidestreams. The team hopes that through this work they can create marketable products such as bioactive peptides for nutraceutical, food and feed applications, protein-based food ingredients, savoury ingredients and mineral supplements for food and feed.

NEW HORIZONS
We need to find ways to make the most of the resources that are available so that ultimately we are able to produce more food for the world's growing population She commented that these species are important for the countries and companies participating in the project, because since WaSeaBi is looking at both lean and fatty fish, several of the results they obtain can be transferred to other fish species. The WaSeaBi project began in May 2019 and will run for four years until May 2023. Results will be made available to the seafood industry, although some may be patentable and protected by IPR. All developed technologies and solutions in participating countries will be fully tested by the end of May 2023 but lab-scale and pilot-scale results will become available in 2020. If the seafood industry is to successfully tap into the potential of sidestreams, its infrastructure needs to be re-evaluated, says Charlotte Jacobsen. But with WaSeaBi already attracting plenty of interest, she believes that the fisheries and aquaculture sectors can be encouraged to use low-value waste more efficiently. "We need to demonstrate that it's technically and economically feasible to do so," she said. "If our results show this, consumers will care and have an interest in new products that are based on sidestreams. With this project, we want to help the industry exploit their raw materials much better and in a more sustainable manner. We
need to find ways to make the most of the resources that are available so that ultimately we are able to produce more food for the world's growing population," she added. According to WaSeaBi, the project has a total project budget of â&#x201A;Ź4,158,214 and receives â&#x201A;Ź3,197,422 in funding from the Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 837726.

NOFIMA CONDUCTS RESEARCH INTO ETHICAL FISHING
Photo: Emil Bremnes/Nofima
As part of a recently launched research project, scientists intend to find out how wild fish can be caught as gently as possible to safeguard fish welfare, good quality and financial gain
“Although in Norway we have been fishing and hunting since pre-historical times, we still have a lot to learn about what happens to the fish during the catch. We intend to find out more about this now,” said project manager Geir SognGrundvåg at Nofima. XThe EthiCatch project is set to run from 1st January this year to 20th December 2022, and during that time Nofima’s scientists will be identifying how the use of various types of commercial fishing gear affect the physiology and mortality of cod and thus their welfare and quality. They will also examine links between ethical fishing, quality and price. Nofima is leading the project, which is being carried out in co-operation with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and the Arctic University of Norway (Tromsø). The three-year research project is funded by the Research Council of Norway. Cod landed from coastal fisheries will be studied with the help of experimental fishing, experimental studies, quality measurements and financial models. Researchers will pay particular attention to whether correlations exist between the way in which the fish are caught and the quality obtained, and also whether there is any correlation between gentler fishing methods and the price obtained by the fishermen. “We know consumers want sustainable food from animals that have been well treated. We are now starting to document the condition of the fish when they are caught using different fishing equipment, and how this affects quality and price. This is a topic that impacts fishermen, the fish processing industry, sales organisations, authorities and consumers,” he explained. The researchers will study the use of longline and gill nets 14 | APRIL 2020
8 Nofima is leading a three-year project examining ethical aspects of Norwegian fisheries
as this relates to the conditions of the fish after varying periods of time. They will also study how the fish are affected by different fishing conditions using seine net fishing gear. A fishery simulator, which can be likened to a swim tunnel for fish, with different currents that simulate common fishing conditions, will document various aspects of fish welfare. The catching process is stressful to fish, but do different types of stress affect the fish differently? Fish from experimental fishing, the simulator and commercial fisheries will be compared by means of a number of quality measurements. The measurements will be made using traditional methods and spectroscopy, where the fish undergo advanced radioscopy to detect signs of changes to the quality. ETHICAL FISHERY The ethical aspect of fishing methods will be common to all parts of the project – and this is accompanied by a raft of questions. What does it actually mean to perform coastal fishing in an ethically responsible manner? Does it involve properly managing stocks of wild fish or handling the fish so they do not suffer unnecessarily? What about fish price – why doesn’t good quality always fetch a higher price? “The project team has expertise in fields as diverse as marine biology, technology, social sciences and philosophy. This is an unusual but exciting combination of expert knowledge,” said senior scientist Silje Kristoffersen who plays a key role in the project. “We are excited about what these multi-disciplinary perspectives on a proud Norwegian tradition will produce in the way of new knowledge and debate.” For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

These measures aim to ensure a sustainable fishery while safeguarding tuna populations and keeping marine ecosystems healthy. The next steps will be to develop a public-private partnership for the immediate implementation of the PAN ATUN, which also hopes to have the support of organisations such as WWF, as well as other national and international bodies and institutions. Heavily oriented towards the international market, only 20% of Ecuador’s tuna sales are routed to the domestic market. The Ecuadorian tuna fleet is one of the largest in the world, with a 271,000 tonne catch in 2018. The fleet operates under the jurisdiction of IATTC, which regulates the Eastern Pacific fishery with 284 fishing vessels. Of these, 115 are Ecuadorian- flagged, the largest fleet in the region, of which 44 are operated by the five companies within TunaCons; Real Industrial Business, Eurofish, Jadran Group, Servigrup and Tri Marine. In catch terms, the TunaCons vessels account for 22% of catches on both free school and FAD tuna fisheries in the region.

The Tuna Conservation Group (TunaCons), representing almost 40% of the Ecuadorian fleet, has announced after several years of research dedicated to reducing environmental impacts that it will replace 20% of its traditional drifting fish aggregation devices with ecoFADs or biodegradable systems during 2020. According to TunaCons, replacing conventional FADs with biodegradable rafts is one of the main challenges facing the tuna sector worldwide, and the organisation is taking on this commitment with the objective of reducing ocean pollution. In this way, TunaCons is pioneering the promotion of measures committed to the care of the oceans. In addition, this measure adds to the national government’s intense activity designed to adequately respond to the yellow card issued by the European Union at the end of last year, so that Ecuadorian fisheries exports can return to the positive status that the country has always maintained. This action is also part of the fisheries improvement project (FIP), which TunaCons started in collaboration with WWF, as early as 2016. This project aims to achieve MSC certification. The new biodegradable devices, designated by TunaCons as EcoFADs, are made with hemp from manila, the most widely used natural filament rope in America and Asia, made with fibres derived from the banana tree. “The data obtained in the tests so far show that biodegradable devices do not fish less than traditional ones,” said TunaCons manager Guillermo Morán, commenting that TunaCons and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) with funds from the European Union are conducting technical co-operation to compare efficiency of EcoFADs and traditional FADs. Currently the data shows this is on the right track and that EcoFADs fish efficiently. As part of the collaboration project with WWF, TunaCons has implemented a Code of Good Practice on Board for the

“It’s a huge improvement. So for us, this is a complete transformation of our working facilities,” said master fishing gear technologist Jón Einar Marteinsson who manages Hampiðjan’s fishing gear division at Neskaupstaður in eastern Iceland. The new building with its 2200m2 of floor space opened for business on 23rd January. The staff areas and office space that bring the total to 2700m2. Handed over to Hampiðjan by construction contractor Nestak at the end of last year, the first few weeks of 2020 were spent moving in and rigging the 85 by 26 metre fishing gear working areas, the liferaft servicing facilities and a fishing gear storage space. There’s a 50 metre quay alongside the new building, allowing fishing gear to be spooled directly from fishing vessels to the workshop or the store, and it wasn’t long before the first pelagic vessels were alongside to take on their trawl gear for the blue whiting fishery. The net loft has been built on reclaimed ground on the eastern side of Síldarvinnslan’s capelin fishmeal plant and replaces a building that dates back to 1964-66. The new net loft is an improvement in every way, and offers plenty of new opportunities. The new building is considerably larger, with all activity taking place on one working level. In comparison, the old building had working areas on three floors. “Everything’s ready except the purse seine store. We’ll have that in March and then we’ll be

Hampiðjan acquires stake in Jackson Trawls Hampiðjan has reached an agreement with the owners of Peterhead-based Jackson Trawls and Jackson Offshore Supply to acquire an 80% holding in the two partner companies. In 1962 Jackson Trawls was set up in Peterhead by successful skipper John Buchan, who saw a need for a fishing gear supplier to meet the needs of the fleet which at that time was increasingly turning to trawl gear. The company has been run for many years by his son Arthur. For the last couple of decades Jackson Trawls has been run by the third generation of the same family as Mark and Stephen Buchan have continued to build up Jackson Trawls. They have also expanded into supplying the oil and gas sector by setting up Jackson Offshore Supply with a range of specialised ropes, lifting gear and other equipment. The brothers will continue to manage the two companies as they have up to now. According to Hampiðjan, the purchase strengthens the group’s position on the market around the North Atlantic region, which is its key area of activity. UK waters have significant marine resources – and with the ongoing uncertainty over Brexit as negotiations between the

larger purse seines, and it had become increasingly difficult to service purse seine gear in the old building. The new workshop’s powerblocks are larger, wider and more powerful, plus there is a greater overhead height, all of which makes working with purse seine gear easier. The pelagic trawl lane is fitted with 25m3 net drums at each end, and the 75 metre long working area with a 9 metre overhead height makes it possible to work inside on the largest pelagic trawls, while this work had previously been done outdoors, in all weathers. The third lane has four powerblocks, providing options for working with demersal trawls, pelagic codends and other activities. “We can say that this is a complete transformation of our working practices, better in every way for both customers and the net loft staff,” he said. It’s no less of a transformation to be able to store all fishing gear under cover, as storage had previously been outside. The fishing gear store has 26 compartments for purse seines and other gear, with each compartment measuring 200m3. The store is also well equipped, with six overhead cranes with powerblocks, plus fixed powerblocks on the walls for spooling fishing gear between ship and store, or into the net loft.
Hampiðjan runs a variety of services in Neskaupstaður. In addition to fishing gear services, the company also runs liferaft servicing, as well as a wire workshop and supplies a range of lifting gear services for local authorities, contractors and construction companies. The new building also incorporates a shop carrying chandlery goods and MarWear work clothing. While the Neskaupstaður net loft has a large and varied customer base, it has its roots in the lcoal east coast fleet.

“There are many visiting vessels that come to us, both from Iceland and other countries, and Neskaupstaður is only going to become an increasingly important hub. There has been a workforce of nine to ten of us working at Hampiðjan in Neskaupstapur, and I’m convinced that’s going to grow in the next few years,” Jón Einar Marteinsson said.

BOULOGNE COMPANY’S FOCUS ON FREIGHT Based at the heart of Boulogne’s Capécure seafood district, freight forwarder Geofret was set up in 2013 by Grégory Grare to specialise in transporting seafood as efficiently as possible
8 Grégory Grare uses Geofret’s software to identify the fastest and most economic shipping routes with minimal emissions
The company has a staff of four who keep everything running smoothly as they handle shipments of seafood both inside France and across Europe. “We work in Norway, Sweden, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain and Portugal,” he said. “So most of our activity is in the western part of Europe.” Somewhere between 70 and 80% of Geofret’s business is shipping frozen seafood and the remainder is the high pressure world of shipping fresh fish. “If frozen seafood is delayed by an hour, then the customer could have a problem, but it’s not a problem as far as the product is concerned. It’s different with fresh seafood, and that has to be organised with great care,” he said. “We’re sending fresh sea bass and other products to Ireland from Boulogne-sur-Mer three times a week. That has to be fast and efficient, and there’s no room for errors.” He commented that shipments can range from samples on a pallet to a complete truckload, and matching the transport to the load is high on the priority list. This is also where Geofret’s own software comes into play, selecting the best options and keeping everyone along the supply chain informed at the same time as maintaining fluidity as each shipment heads for its destination. The fact is that if there is a problem, then human error is often the cause as something has been overlooked or information has been wrongly entered. “That can hold things up, and the customer won’t be happy,” he said, explaining that this is something that the Geofret software not only flags up as needing attention, but also demands that the user addresses. 18 | APRIL 2020
“If there’s a problem, it identifies it in such a way that we have to resolve the issue, and not simply overlook it until next time. This is about not just firefighting when you’re busy, but making sure the problem doesn’t recur.” The company’s systems are being developed further, and the intention is to develop a customer dashboard, showing not only the location and status of each shipment, but also its CO2 footprint. “Let’s say we want to send a shipment from Paris to Athens,” he said, punching the two end points into the system as a list of options instantly appeared. “The algorithm weights good co-operation as the top parameter. We like to keep everyone happy.” As well as matching the vehicle to the load, an important parameter is also the proximity of the vehicle to the pickup point. “We prefer to avoid unnecessary kilometres and want to keep the missions down,” he said. As part of its environmental engagement, Geofret has a three-year commitment with the EVE label for freight forwarders to reduce environmental impacts, and as part of the Industrie du Futur initiative which has a similar set of commitments, an external consultant takes a close look at the way the company operates. It’s not a daunting prospect, according to Grégory Grare, who looks forward to finding out what an outsider’s viewpoint will show up. “A fresh pair of eyes is good. Someone new will see the things that we don’t,” he said. For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

VERSATILE SLICING TECHNOLOGY USED IN 70 COUNTRIES Hamburg company Salmco Technik has for decades been producing a range of fish slicing machines that are now used around the world Established by Johann Glösmann 34 years ago, Salmco Technik has a product range that has grown over the years, culminating in its latest developments which were introduced to cater for the rising demand for sushi. First came the singlelane SM5290 with a 15°-90° cutting angle, and the demand led to the dual-lane SM5490 which has been available since 2018. He explained that this allows for quick and effective cutting for just-in-time sushi production, while laser sensors and guides now make possible production of delicate sushi rolls. As well as nori and hosomaki, it was also important to be able to cut uromaki satisfactorily and the machine’s oscillating double knife system achieves this. A further recent innovation is a slicer unit capable of portioning maki sushi with millimetre precision. Salmco Technik was very much a pioneer in its field when it began with its first salmon slicer, and since then the company has extended its expertise and product range from straightforward manually-operated equipment to include fully automated cutting lines. The original slicing machine was the basis on which Salmco Technik developed its versatile universal fish slicer. According to Johann Glösmann, this is now used for slicing around 30 different species of fish around the world. “Salmco machines are used in 70 countries around the world,” he said. “We see our machines used for processing local fish varieties in Malta, Cyprus, the Seychelles, Mauritius, New Caledonia, Réunion, Martinique, Tahiti and Vietnam, among others. Due to this high-grade cutting technology, a variety of other products such as smoked duck breast, marinated turkey and chicken breast, and vegetarian sausage can be economically sliced.” He attributes the success of Salmco Technik’s slicers to the robust, uncomplicated design that gives them a long working life, and the figures from the company’s spaces and customer service department show that there are Samlco machines in use that are as much as thirty years old – some of them having produced more than 200 million slices in a long service lifetime. COLD AND SOFT SLICING "In the early years our customers came from the salmon farming countries, but today they come to use from every continent," Johann Glösmann said.
"Salmon is bought fresh or frozen and processed close to the market,” he commented, adding that it makes no difference whether salmon is fresh or frozen as Salmco’s machines are unique in being able to provide both cold and soft slicers. There have been numerous developments over the years as the industry has changed, with growing requirements for performance, slice consistency, hygiene safety in the workplace and ease of operation, and he explained that this has been a gradual process. "We are constantly developing our machines in response to market demands. Customer feedback is extremely important,” he said. Currently with a staff of twelve, Salmco Technik could do with more but Johann Glösmann said that there is a shortage of skilled engineers. All the same, the company’s workshops produce around 35 slicing systems every year for customers in all parts of the world. He feels that the company is well-placed for the future, and its 35th year will see Salmco Technik moving into a new production facility in Hamburg, doubling the current office and workshop space.

Our customers are traders, authorities, importers and processors,” she said, adding that the aquaculture department is the most recent addition, making Nouvelles Vagues the only platform of its kind in Europe that has the whole chain of breeding, processing and analysis. The facility at Wimereux has both fresh and sea water, and can breed fish in either temperate or cold water conditions. “We also breed live prey, which is important for the larval stages of some species that need live prey at early stages of life,” she said. “Unfortunately we can’t see the facility right now, as the fish there aren’t ours and confidentiality is something we take extremely seriously.

provide accurate results – even when these disappoint the customer. But scientific results are scientific results, and this is a key ethic for us,” Marielle Marie said, commenting that this is more than just a showroom as the Wimereux facility provides as platform for the analysing the complete process. Nouvelles Vagues’ activities aren’t confined to France, and the company also carries out projects for customers in Norway and the Netherlands. “Fish and seafood are expensive products and customers today require added value. My department has become very busy,” she said. “There’s a growing demand for quality, and with less wildcaught fish available, we need to use everything. This makes processing by-products increasingly important, as is the need for production with added value. It’s the same with aquaculture. The way forward is to continue to develop quality – there are many sides to this in the seafood industry and there’s still a long way to go in increasing quality.” “Quality is a big subject,” she said, adding that environmental factors and sustainability are also aspects of quality. “Seafood is expensive as a raw material so it’s important to make the most of it, and if the industry doesn’t add value to its products, then it gets to the point that consumers don’t pay for them.” For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

GRADING GULF OF MEXICO SHRIMP AT SEA A company based on the frozen plains of North Dakota has been enlisted by Gulf of Mexico fishermen to develop a new method to grade by size head-on shrimp at sea, reports Ed Lallo The new Kerian Machines shrimp grader will allow fishermen to better compete with imports, putting the quality consumers demand ahead of price. Kerian Machines designed its first potato grader fifty years ago and since then the international company has developed new methods of sorting a variety of products. “My father always told me people don’t come to us just to buy another piece of equipment, they come to us with problems they want solved,” said James Kerian, whose grandfather started the company while working as a manager at a potato warehouse. “Our job is to understand the problem so we can apply our knowledge and expertise in engineering to provide an affordable, efficient and effective solution.” More than thirty years ago one of these solutions was to come up with a grader for the crawfish industry when a crawfish processor in Louisiana saw a grader made for sweet potatoes. Montegut shrimper Lance Nacio, owner of Anna Maria Shrimp, experimented on his boats with a Canadian built headon grader for a number of years. Then he heard of Kerian Machines from a friend in the crawfish business and took his ideas to Thomas Hymel of Louisiana Sea Grant, who then in turn contacted the company. James Kerian said the timing for the head-on shrimp grader could not have been better and the resulting high quality stainless sizer is designed to work in rough seas, while at the same time withstanding the salt air of the Gulf of Mexico. “For a while now we have been interested in expanding into other shellfish,” he said. “When approached about the

24 | APRIL 2020
opportunity to build a machine to size head-on shrimp right on the boat, we jumped at the opportunity.” “We packed more than 30lbs of shrimp and took it to North Dakota to see if their machine would handle the size-grading without harming the quality of the shrimp,” Lance Nacio explained. “The shrimp were a variety of sizes, from 16-20 count to 5160’s. We ran the mixed-sized shrimp through the machine six or seven times, each time it worked perfectly and no damage to the shrimp.” “Our test runs went wonderfully on all sorts of levels,” James Kerian agreed. “It was great to have shrimp to run over the machine and test the concept and verify the Kerian Machines Sizer will line up the shrimp correctly, as well as sort them accurately and consistently. It was invaluable having Lance and Thomas here to help address potential issues and discuss adjustments needed to work properly on a shrimp boat.” “I played with graders on my boats for a number of years,” Lance Nacio added. “The problem was they were not reliable. I was always tinkering with them to make them work better, or they were breaking down because they had so many moving parts. This new system is so simple, that I am hopeful that it will be able to pay for itself within the first year.”

POTENTIAL “This equipment has great potential. It is our opportunity to differentiate Gulf shrimp from imports. To be able to take a nice head-on shrimp and put it into the marketplace at a premium price,” said Thomas Hymel, Louisiana Fisheries Forward program director and Marine Extension agent with Louisiana Sea Grant and the LSU AgCenter. “We worked closely with the manufacturer to get the size grading system correct. Every shrimper in the state, maybe even along the whole Gulf Coast, will want to see how this new technology runs. I am looking forward to placing it on the first boat and shrimp dock to get it out there working for our shrimpers.” Angela Portier, owner-operator of Faith Family Shrimp Company in Chauvin, LA, is anxious to get a peek at the new grader. “We fish five boats, as well as operate a commercial dock. For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101
PROCESSING & QUALITY
Not only am I interested in putting the grader on our bigger boats, but also on the dock.” The family’s company sells bagged shrimp to processors along the Gulf coast. Shrimp boat crews pick big shrimp by eye, and then weigh them on a hanging scale. “With rough seas it is often hard to obtain consistent accuracy with a hanging scale.The grader would simply indeed simplify a time-costly operation both on the boat and at the dock, as well as being more accurate,” she said. The on-board ship grader model will start with a price tag of approximately $50,000 James Kerian said. “The grader is easily optimised,” he explained. “We can expand length, width and capacity, as well as add sizes, for those that might be interested in putting it on a dock.” According to Don Schwab, owner of Creative Supply and Solutions, a shrimp consulting business, “When the shrimp hit the deck the uniformity ratio is all over the board, everything from 16-20 on up. If you can sack or box head-on shrimp to a uniform size it is going to add more value to the product.” He is confident consistent uniform grading of head-on shrimp will be a beneficial tool to help combat low shrimp prices caused by imports. In addition it will add consistency to an industry that already grades both head-off and peeled shrimp. “It comes down to whether this will be cost-effective,” he said. “If the payback for the system is going to be immediate then it is going to be worthwhile, if the payback system is three to five years I don’t think it is going to work.” “It is all about consistence and uniformity,” he said. “Consumers buy with their eyes. From the retail and restaurant level, if shrimp are all the same size they are more appealing.
The industry right now needs anything they can get to squeeze an extra penny out of the shrimp. It is all about the boat,” Don Schwab added. “If the Kerian Machines head-on shrimp grader can tighten up the uniformity of the product it will add value for the fishermen. The boats are so underpaid for the product they need anything they can get to give them more value.”

FILLETING SPECIALIST SEAC: SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL Swedish company SEAC has established its own niche in the market for fish processing machines by focusing on smaller grades of fish “SEAC’s machines originate from the former Arenco-KM era in the 1950-70’s when Arenco and Baader competed with their different machines. But when those two big companies continued their work on big fish, SEAC went in the opposite direction,” explained SEAC’s owner Ulf Groenqvist. With extensive experience in developing filleting technology for small pelagic species – such as the company’s record of providing a machine to fillet and belly-clean 6-gramme sprats with a 50% yield, the company has also turned its attention to processing small whitefish. “Due to the bone structure and the differences in anatomy of the white fish, you cannot just go straight from a ‘classic’ pelagic machine, so there have been modifications and changes over the last few years to the new SEAC filleting machine, the SEAC FPM-470,” he said. “This was where we could make full use of our expertise and experience in processing small pelagic species. This started more than five years ago when SEAC sold a reconditioned Arenco SFD-300 sardine filleting machine to a customer in Australia who wanted to fillet smaller grades of whitefish species Sillago bassensis. After about six months of testing and redevelopment, the machine was accepted and has been in production since 2015.”
Due to the bone structure and the differences in anatomy of the white fish, you cannot just go straight from a ‘classic’ pelagic machine, so there have been modifications and changes over the last few years to the new SEAC filleting machine, the SEAC FPM-470 It was this process that showed Ulf Groenqvist that there are possibilities for machines to fillet smaller whitefish – and the result is SEAC’s FPM-470 which went through testing between 2015 and last year to fillet both whitefish and pelagic species. These include capelin, vendace, some Asian and Australian species, and a number of mackerel species.
8 The versatile FPM-470 is used for producing belly-cleaned hake
26 | APRIL 2020
“Over the last three years it has been mainly used for blue whiting and Alaska pollock,” he said. “During the last two years two SEAC FPM-470 machines in China have been producing fillets with good results from defrosted blockfrozen blue whiting and Alaska pollock. The biggest problem was defrosting the whitefish from the blocks. The better the defrosting, the better the quality of the fish – and the better the end result.” He commented that filleting these small grades of desfrosted whitefish had previously been done by hand, so the FPM-470, capable of processing 225-250 fish per minute, represented a tremendous increase in throughput. “Of course, hand trimming is needed for most of the fish, but still this is economical due to the capacity and yield still is good, even on defrosted, block-frozen smaller white fish,” he said, explaining that the FPM-470 can work on smaller white fish from approx 100 grammes up to 300-400 grammes, with adjustments required depending on the fish size. “In China this has been working on whole round blue whiting of 150-250 grammes and on H&G Alaska pollack in the 200-400 gramme range. After latest tests in Russia on both species, we have also demonstrated the capacity to process this fish for different end products such as H&G+T, butterfly fillets, single fillets with skin on or off, and belly cleaning – and this is all in the same machine,” he said, adding that working with one of the main suppliers of skinning machines in Europe, SEAC is now in the final stages of developing an ‘in-line’ skinner that can cope with the up to 250 fish/minute.

COD FARMING SET FOR REBOUND AS INVESTORS BACK NORCOD
Photo: Norcod
Norcod has successfully raised new investment totalling NOK105 million (€10.5 million) in its journey to become the world's leading producer of responsibly farmed cod on an industrial scale
The company launched a contemplated private placement with a subscription period running from 31st January to 5th February. The cash was raised among new and existing investors from both Norway and Denmark. Several subscribers indicated they will continue to support Norcod in future funding rounds. “This is extremely encouraging as it's imperative for us to have a strong backbone of investors who recognise the value of the business and our efforts,” said Norcod managing director Rune Eriksen. The thirteen Norwegian investors are from Trondheim, where Norcod is headquartered, and Oslo. Many are already involved in aquaculture. “It's a major success for Norcod,” Rune Eriksen said. The company’s target is to harvest 9000 tonnes of fresh cod in 2021, scaling up to 30,000 tonnes in 2025 as it adds new facilities. “The investment helps us reach our earnings goals, as well as our vision to help feed the global population through the production of sustainable, healthy protein,” he said. “We want to contribute to food security and protecting the planet.” Norcod will use the net proceeds to invest in access to juveniles and build-up of biomass. The first batch of juveniles was transferred to the sea in January. “The first 200,000 fish are doing even better than expected, with much lower mortality than budgeted but faster growth,” Rune Eriksen said, commenting that these key factors were part of the problems that afflicted the last attempts at commercial cod farming a decade ago. According to the company, today's robust fish have been successfully bred for optimum growth and yield, while Norcod 28 | APRIL 2020
has privileged owned access to the sixth-generation fry and new feeds have been engineered to ensure lifecycle health. “The groundwork's done, the market is open and the timing is perfect. We believe our cod will be among the most sustainably produced protein on the planet,” Rune Eriksen said. Given its similar growth potential and extremely efficient input to output ratio, Norcod is confident farmed cod can one day be as big an industry in Norway – but with even better environmental credentials. “Things have changed radically. The fry are of much higher quality with hugely improved characteristics, in addition to new technology. Progress is fantastic and a great indication that Norcod can become a major success story. At the same time we've put the next 1.8 million fry into the growth phase with our partners Mørkvedbukta and EcoMarine. That's also going well,” he explained. The company's next batch of juveniles is scheduled to be released into sea cages in June. “The Norcod team is expanding and we're all very excited,” he added. Danish investors had already showed their strong interest in Norcod by raising DKK28.5 million (€3.8 million) through Artha Kapitalforvaltning in November. Their enthusiasm was evident in that investment being fully subscribed in just one hour, according to Artha director Jan Severin Sølbæk. Artha is also a signficant investor in the latest equity raise, and the response was just as fast.

Kaufland has become the first retailer in Germany to introduce salmon rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The salmon, which has been available under Kaufland’s own K-Blue Bay brand since February this year, has been fed on an innovative diet containing natural marine algal oil by Veramaris. “Kaufland’s decision to introduce salmon fed on Veramaris’ algal oil comes quickly after similar moves by a number of other European supermarkets, including Supermarché Match in France, which has introduced salmon and just recently also trout raised on a diet including Veramaris,” said Gaëlle Husser, global business development director at Veramaris, adding that Veramaris has been fundamental in initiating the dialogue with all partners along the value chain. “In France, Match saw a 12% growth in its salmon category following the introduction of the sustainable salmon, a clear indication that consumers are demanding fish that is nutritionally superior and sustainably raised.” Veramaris has developed a unique natural marine algal oil for farmed fish diets – the only product in the world of its kind – which can increase the levels of both of the two essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA in fish, while at the same time reducing the Forage Fish Dependency Ratio (FDDR). “Our common goal with Veramaris is to
reduce the amount of wild fish used in feed to less than one kilogram for the production of one kilogram of salmon,” said Andreas Schopper, head of purchasing at Kaufland Germany.

ELECTRIC DECK TECHNOLOGY FOR WHALSAY’S NEW CHARISMA

New Whalsay pelagic vessel Charisma started its fishing career with a couple of quickfire trips mackerel trips west of Shetland, reports Dave Moore
The latest addition to the Shetland pelagic fleet, Charisma LK-362 replaces an older vessel of the same name that was sold to Iceland in 2018. Charisma’s owners started a dialogue with the Karstensen yard in Skagen at the end of 2017 to discuss the options for a new vessel, and chose to go with a design four metres longer than the old Charisma, but incorporating significant technological advances – including greater freeboard and capacity to pump fish at the stern. “Hitting the ground running underlines the reliability and quality Karstensens are renowned for delivering, and deservedly so,” said skipper Davie Hutchinson following Charisma’s first couple of trips. The hull of the 75 metre, 15.30 metre beam Charisma was built at the Remontowa Shipyard in Gdańsk before being towed to Skagen for fitting out, and was ready at the end of last year for fishing trials ahead of the handover and delivery trip to Whalsay – and its first trips in between rounds of heavy weather. Charisma’s 2350m3 capacity is in eleven RSW tanks arranged to surround a central space where the pumping system, refrigeration machinery and vacuum landing plant are housed over three decks amidships.
Catches are delivered at the stern instead of the traditional method of pumping over the starboard side. Charisma’s owners also opted for electrical deck equipment for their new vessel including an electric fish pump. This offers advantages in terms of energy efficiency, as well as being easier to handle and store. A single electric cable is more compact than the conventional hydraulic hoses – and there’s no hydraulic oil to leak. The fish pump can delivery 1200 tonnes per hour and Charisma’s two electric-drive fish pumps are a recent new product from Macgregor. The VFD pumps have a new geometric shape, developed to give better fish quality and pumping control, and are driven by an oil-filled and pressurecompensated electric motor. Charisma’s installation includes electric cable reels and a newly developed control system. From the stern the fish are pumped forward to the separator and from there to be distributed to the allocated RSW tank. Two ammonia-based Johnson Controls refrigeration plants positioned at main deck level to starboard of the centreline in the area between the central RSW tank trunking, deliver 2.6mKcal/h of cooling capacity, enabling pelagic catches to be brought down to the desired temperature of -1.3°C/-1.5°C in the minimum timescale. Catches are discharged to processing factories ashore by twin Iras 4,200-litre vacuum pumping systems. Situated to port of the refrigeration machinery and operated by 4 x 87kW compressor units located in a dedicated adjoining room forward, the system has a delivery rate of 150t/200t per hour.

As well as the fish pumping arrangement, Macgregor have For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101
also delivered the complete AC electric winch system, with twin 90 tonne trawl winches and a pair of 95 tonne net drums. The split trawl winches, with hauling/shooting speeds of 35133m/min and 75-182m/min respectively, are positioned to be sheltered by the upper boat deck, and are driven by four motors (total power 606kW) and operated through a PTS-Pentagon Cbus EE system, a sixth-generation system developed by Macgregor for use its electric-driven multi-motor winches. The net drums, each driven by four motors (total power 817kW) and 8 x 300A frequency converters, are mounted on the shelterdeck slightly offset to port. The gear from the forward drum is shot over a large-diameter stainless steel roller mounted above the aft net drum. A 71 tonne lifeline winch for handling the bag is located towards the starboard side of the boat deck aft of the split trawl winch and a 46 tonne tail-end winch, is positioned to port on the upper boat deck, in line with a dedicated sheave mounted within the mid-height trawl gantry. Four auxiliary winches are mounted on the underside of the trawl gantry and on the boat deck adjacent to the net drums. Charisma is fitted with three customised deck cranes designed and manufactured by SeaQuest Systems. Two identical cranes with a 4t/14m capacity are mounted on either side of the trawl gantry aft. Each is fitted with SeaQuest type PB02 powerblocks featuring hydraulic tilt and continual rotation. The cranes are positioned to be able to reach down to the main deck, to manage the fish pumps efficiently and to have reach over the stern to handle the trawl doors. The forward knuckle-boom crane has a reach of 18 metres and is fitted with 4 and 2 tonne winches. PELAGIC TECHNOLOGY Swan Net Gundry’s Lerwick and Killybegs net lofts supplied Charisma’s fishing gear, including a 1024m dual-purpose mackerel/herring trawl with the forward section made with a combination of PE Over Braided ropes (PEPA) and Danline. Kraftex frame ropes are used, in conjunction with SNG’s own Prima Overbraided footrope which has proven to be excellent for its abrasion-resistant qualities. This trawl has an eight-panel belly, providing improved water flow, stability, added strength and increased mesh opening, and Charisma is among the pelagic vessels using SNG’s 65 metre fast-flow brailers with a

Dynice Handle System (DHS) and 44mm DynIce SK75 used for the splitters. Charisma has also taken delivery of a pair of 1460m mackerel trawls and a 1280m dual purpose herring/mackerel net from SNG. The winches are each loaded with 2000 metres of 38mm diameter Oliveira warp supplied by Selstad. Scalloway company H Williamson & Sons supplied, installed and commissioned Charisma’s electronics with a main forward console comprising a Furuno/Böning video wall of five 55-inch 4K Hatteland pedestal-mounted screens arranged in an arc. Charisma has Furuno FSV25 BB and FSV85 omni-sonars of which the operational frequencies are centred on 20kHz and 80kHz. Sounders are Furuno FCV 1900B and FSS1-BB units with species discrimination served by Airmar CM599 transducers. A Furuno CI-68 BB current indicator provides tidal data at five different depths. When tracking marks in heavy weather, heave compensation for the sonars and sounders is provided by a Konsberg MRU-3 motion reference unit. Charisma’s trawl gear is monitored by a Marport system feeding data from three Trawl Explorer and six hybrid catch, door and catch eye sensors. The Marport trawl monitoring system is integrated into the MaxSea TimeZero plotting system, displaying the position of the doors relative to the vessel.
