UN: 2022 IS A DEFINING YEAR FOR OUR OCEANS

NEWBUILDS

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14, which focuses on life below water, has to-date attracted the lowest level of investment of all the SDG targets, but there are top-level ocean meetings taking place this year that could reverse that failing, according to the UN’s special envoy for the ocean Peter Thomson. Speaking at this month’s 9th annual World Ocean Summit, and insisting that while ocean health remains in decline “there’s no healthy planet without a healthy ocean”, Thomson stressed the critical need to revive the fortunes of SDG 14. Alongside the considerable challenges posed by climate change, ocean acidification and ocean warming, which are making life harder in seas, he said it is important for decision makers to not take their eye off other really important tasks including ending harmful fisheries subsidies, stopping overfishing and eliminating habitat destruction.

8 There is a critical need to revive the fortunes of SDG 14, says UN special envoy for the ocean Peter Thomson

“A sustainable blue economy is the future of mankind. It’s where future security is going to come from. Be that nutritious food, new medicines, renewable energy – it’s all going to come from the ocean,” he said. “It’s time for us to shift the investment needle in the direction of the sustainable blue economy.” Six important international meetings are taking place across the calendar year 2022 that could prove game-changing, Thomson acknowledged. “I really do believe that in 2022 we could stop the decline of the oceans’ health. I’m not saying we are going to fix the ocean – that’s a job for our children and grandchildren because things like acidification are going to continue because the wheels are rolling on that. But we can stop the decline, and it’s very much in the hands of member states.”

BLUEWILD CONTRACTS NEW FACTORY TRAWLER Ålesund, Norway-headquartered Bluewild is expanding its fleet with a new factory trawler that has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS. The fishing company advises that gentle handling of the catch and the lowest possible energy consumption have been important elements in the design development. Called Ecofive, the 73.2-metre trawler will be built to the new design Ulstein FX101 at Westcon Yards in Ølensvåg, Norway. She will have a net cargo space of approximately 2,000 cubic metres and be fitted with quadruple and pelagic trawls. Her propulsion system will support fuel savings of at least 25% per kilo of fish product produced compared

Ours is a richly diverse and innovative industry

It’s been a long time coming, but at long last we have the opportunity to physically reconnect as an industry, with the doors to some of our favourite trade shows set to reopen in the coming months. I’m sure I am not alone in having grown weary of my interactions with colleagues and contacts being almost entirely conducted online for the past two years. As vital as these virtual exchanges have been during some extremely testing times, I think it’s also fair to say that it can be quite difficult to build professional relationships and trust when parties are not sharing the same space and talking openly – face-to-face. Ours is a richly diverse and innovative industry. As such, there’s great value in fishing, aquaculture and processing professionals and other supply chain stakeholders being at these events and engaging in conversations in the flesh. I believe the same goes for having World Fishing & Aquaculture present to contribute and document these talks. Of all the big events reappearing on the 2022 seafood calendar, I’m particularly looking forward to attending the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition 2022, which returns to the vibrant city of Reykjavík on 8-10 June. While this will be my first Icefish as this publication’s editor, it’s not going to be my first time at the event. I’ve already seen with my own eyes how crucial this show is to our industry. Indeed, as this month’s preview on pages 20-26 shows – with welcome contributions from some of the exhibitors, including some making their debuts – this is a highly-respected, hugely important gathering and networking opportunity for commercial fisheries organisations and associated businesses. From the conversations that I’ve been having, visitors can expect to see some very innovative new products and services. Additionally, the Icelandic Fisheries Awards will make a welcome return. Essentially, we can expect Icefish to again provide the perfect forum for those present to meet with current and potential clients, engage with other industry players, observe incoming and outgoing trends, and to showcase the progress being made. I hope to see you there.

AMERICAN PROCESSORS THROWN A $50 MILLION LIFELINE The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced an investment of approximately $50 million in grants to support seafood processors, processing facilities and processing vessels through the Seafood Processors Pandemic Response and Safety Block Grant Program (SPRS). This funding, to be distributed through state agencies, will help defray costs incurred by seafood processing facilities and processing vessels preparing for, preventing exposure to, and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, USDA explained. SPRS recipients include state agencies, commissions, or departments responsible for agriculture, fisheries, wildlife, seafood, commercial processing, or related commerce activities within Alabama, Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, as well as the territory of American Samoa. The programme is funded by the Pandemic Assistance provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. “USDA is working with agricultural and food businesses to ensure that, following the

pandemic disruptions, they have the resources and tools to continue building more and better markets, and to thrive in 2022 and beyond,” USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programmes, Jenny Lester Moffitt, said. “This funding for seafood processors and processing vessels will serve as a bridge, providing relief to an industry that was greatly affected by the pandemic as well as the resulting changes in consumer demand. This programme is part of our larger pandemic assistance programme, providing support to producers, distributors, processors and other small agricultural businesses to get our

food system back on track.” Once USDA has made the awards, state agencies will provide funds to seafood processing facilities and processing vessels. Seafood processors and processing vessels should apply directly through their state agency. States are being encouraged to prioritise applications that benefit smaller processors and vessels, socially disadvantaged processors, veteran processors, and/or underserved communities.

SCOTTISH SALMON EXPORTS RECOVERY Farm-raised salmon cemented its place as the UK’s biggest food export last year with sales achieving £614 million, up 36% on 2020, the latest figures from the UK government have confirmed. “These incredibly encouraging figures demonstrate the global demand for our unrivalled farm-raised Scottish salmon and the resilience of our industry,” said Tavish Scott, chief executive of Salmon Scotland. “For exports to recover to near record-levels after such a difficult economic period during the pandemic is testament to the

hard work and dedication of farmers to sustainable growth in the face of increased costs.” The figures are only marginally below the record £618 million recorded in 2019. Scott praised the sector for maintaining production during the run-up to the festive period through extensive work by a committed workforce as labour supply remained tight within the processing sector. But he also threw caution to the wind and warned that the sector’s future must be safeguarded. “We must also be aware that

our Scandinavian counterparts are growing faster and selling more salmon, so it is imperative that government enables a regulatory framework that is both transparent and efficient to ensure that Scottish salmon retains its place as the key flag-bearer for quality exports from Scotland,” he said. The Scottish salmon industry directly employs 2,500 people in Scotland and supports more than 3,600 suppliers, with 10,000 jobs dependent on the sector. Salmon was shipped to 52 different export markets last year, with growth across 10 of the top 20 destinations.

SHELLFISH FALLING FOUL OF EXPORT RED TAPE UK shellfish companies are particularly at risk from the certification processes that followed the country’s departure from the European Union, but all seafood supply chains have found themselves affected by the situation. Exporters have now endured more than 12 months of the new border-crossing arrangements, and while overseas trade is continuing to some degree, there are still key sections of the UK shellfish sector that are unable to supply to Europe at all, David Jarrad, Chief Executive of the UK Shellfish Association of Great Britain (SAGB) told WF. “Sadly, shellfish has been one of the most badly affected sectors by Brexit and the challenges that the certification process has thrown up,” Jarrad confirmed. Alongside the export block on bulk exports of live bivalve molluscs from B-class waters, products from A-class or depurated systems now must have a certificate that is signed by an official veterinarian, and which must travel with every consignment. This paper certificate is 14 pages long and requires 46 signatures by the veterinarians’ hand and 43 official stamps. It also needs to be in two or more languages depending on the borders crossed and the products’ final destination. While some of the bigger businesses exporting crustacea have managed to deal with the paperwork, it has come at huge expense. Typically, a medium to large exporter from the UK to the EU is probably now spending £150,000-plus just in additional time to complete the paperwork. Meanwhile many smaller-scale operators have said it’s not worth their while and have ceased exporting. They have instead had to turn towards the domestic market or have supplied their product to larger organisations who may export it. “When you think that the majority of the sector is made up of micro-businesses or SMEs,

that’s a sad state of affairs,” Jarrad said. “It’s a complicated story, and it’s affecting shellfish traders in a very big way – costing them huge sums of money.” A large part of the problem lies in the fact that these Export Health Certificates (EHCs) are paper documents, which in addition to requiring veterinarians to be on-hand, also makes them open to error. “The ironic thing is that other countries – such as the United States and Canada – have free trade agreements with the EU that allows them to use far less hardcopy paper, and a lot of the paperwork can be electronic, but we haven’t yet negotiated that with the EU and that leaves our industry in a poorer state,” Jarrad said. Negotiations needed urgently The SAGB chief was expanding on calls from the UK Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Working Group, which on behalf of £100 billion worth of food and feed supply chains, has warned that it is critical that veterinary agreements are quickly negotiated between the UK and the European Union to ease post-Brexit trade issues. Representing trade associations, hauliers, farmers and veterinary and environmental health professional organisations, SPS highlights that the red tape

8 Many small-scale UK shellfish operators have ceased exporting to the EU finding the trade unviable

continues to be very costly to supply chains. It estimates that in just one year (to November 2021) the new EHCs requirements imposed on exports to the EU have cost at least £60m in paperwork, with more than 288,000 EHC applications requiring the equivalent of 580,000 certifier hours or 285 certifier years. With the number of EU vets registering to work in the UK dropping by more than two-thirds it exacerbates already extreme demands on the UK veterinary cohort, SPS said. In turn, this situation has severely depleted the availability of qualified staff to certify not only the paperwork now required for export to the EU, but to anywhere in the world. SPS has calculated that to cover these additional costs, the UK’s food industry would have needed to generate around £3 billion of additional sales in the first year of Brexit. Furthermore, as a result of these new costs many food businesses can no longer afford to export to the EU. This means that many companies have ceased to trade with their previous largest export market, which impacts on livelihoods and the UK economy, it said. Amongst other things, the SPS

NEWS Working Group is proposing a veterinary agreement with the EU that reduces the administrative burden and certification costs, and for paperwork to be digitised. It is also calling for certainty regarding the veterinary checks being introduced later this year to ensure there is a level playing field between the UK and the EU on both exports and imports. Salmon adapted to obstacles Fortunately, some elements of the UK seafood economy have been able to respond to the new regulatory situation. Hamish Macdonell, Director of Strategic Engagement at trade body Salmon Scotland informed WF that the farmed salmon sector has adapted since January 2021 and the end-of-transition that brought delays, backlogs, confusion and problems. Macdonell explained that at the start of the new process, it was taking between one and two hours to process the paperwork in Scotland, but that is now down

8 Scotland’s salmon sector spent around £11 million preparing for post-Brexit export regulations

to about 40 minutes. At the same time, companies have adjusted their harvesting and transporting schedules to allow more time for the paperwork to be completed. “By allowing more time at the Scotland-end, they are able to

get the fish to France when it is needed so the delays do not have much of an effect on delivery times now,” he said. “There is still a cost, though. Our estimates suggest we spent £11 million in Brexit preparation and £200,000 in costs of implementation (which will rise over time).

“We are hopeful, though, that the digitisation of the EHC system will mean a much smoother service in the long-term.” He highlighted that currently, everything is in hard copy form where companies have to cross out all of the species of seafood that they are not transporting, rather than just ticking the box of the one that they are. This is where most of the mistakes have come from, he said. “We hope that moving the system online with prepared templates will eradicate many of the errors and lead to a smoother service. There is no date for that yet but we hope it will be this year.” Macdonell continued, “We are in a better place than many other food sectors. We spent the two years before the end-of-transition working with the Scottish Government and Food Standards Scotland to create hubs of certification so seafood consignments would be dealt with together, with certifying officers and vets on site.”

AVANTI JOINS BELGIAN FISHING FLEET Damen Maaskant delivers ‘magnificent’ beam trawler, fulfilling owner’s childhood dreams Designed to deliver considerable hauling power with less fuel consumption and also offering reduced drag in the water, the new 38-metre beam trawler Z-26 Avanti has been received by her owners, the Depaepe family of the Devan Shipping Company, and now takes up her place in the Belgian fishing fleet. Built by Damen Maaskant Shipyards, and with a design spanning the maximum length and tonnage allowed by Belgian maritime regulations, Avanti was built to the latest standards of comfort, technology and sustainability. Specific modifications were made to suit to the Belgian fishing company’s methods. “Devan Shipping Company aimed for a highly efficient and profitable ship. Damen Maaskant modified the design together with SIP Marine to reduce fuel consumption and increase hauling power. The ship also has an imprinted anode system on board, ICCP, eliminating the need for anodes on the hull. This has the main effect of reducing drag,” Project Manager, John van der Maas, said. New and unique on this fishing cutter is a cold room for provisions, which has been installed instead of refrigerators. “Cooperation with all subcontractors went like a well-oiled machine. This ultimately led to an excellent end result,” Van der Maas said. The hull was built and launched in Gdansk, Poland, and then finished at Damen Maaskant’s yard in Stellendam, in the Netherlands. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the trawler was quickly finished within the agreed timeframe. Devan Shipping Company Owner, Steve Depaepe, said he is impressed with Avanti. “As a 14-year-old boy, I dreamed of a real Maaskant beam trawler. Childhood dreams come true in Stellendam. A new fishing cutter for our Flemish fleet gives young fishermen hope for a future at sea and inspires new childhood dreams. My captain and crew are eager to go to sea with this magnificent vessel, equipped for comfortable and safe fishing trips.”

Damen Maaskant Shipyards Commercial Manager, Jeroen van den Berg, commented, “It is our goal to remain a leader in the development and production of innovative and sustainable vessels for growing, harvesting and catching food from the sea. In this way, we want to secure the future of our industry for generations to come.” Z-26 is the second vessel built to Damen Shipyards’ BT3808 design.

NEW HYBRIDS FOR INVERLUSSA Two hybrid aquaculture services vessels have been ordered by Inverlussa Marine Services that will see the Mull, Scotland-based company’s fleet reach 20 vessels later this year

8 Inverlussa’s first new vessel will be delivered September 2022, with the second following in December

The first new vessel, Eloise Eslea, will be delivered late September, with the second (currently known as N023), to be delivered late December. The company also expects to recruit an additional 12 crew/staff, which will take the company’s headcount to 115 local employees. The signing of these latest contracts marks the second and third vessels to be built for Inverlussa at the Netherlandsbased Nauplius Workboats. The first being the recently delivered 34-metre delousing vessel Camilla Eslea, which is on a long-term charter to Mowi Scotland. Inverlussa said the vessels incorporate the latest fish welfare and high capacity delicing systems. They are equipped with a diesel-electric propulsion system to ensure the optimum availability of power in all working conditions, thereby increasing their weather resilience. The inclusion of hybrid technology and cutting-edge

battery technology enable the vessels to either use energy from the batteries, or store energy in the batteries when surplus energy is produced from the ship’s generators. The reduced fuel consumption will in turn help drive down the operation costs for our customers. These vessels, along with Camilla Eslea, will be the first fish farm vessels in Scotland to use azimuth propulsion which enables the vessel to use full power in any direction allowing the ability to move in wind speeds which would normally not be possible with conventional vessels. Another major attribute is the dynamic positioning system allowing the vessels to remain stationary on any one position for long periods which is also a first for Scotland. Since March 2020, Inverlussa has taken delivery of six new vessels – all designed and built specifically for Scottish aquaculture.

PG Flow Solutions supplies to two new Sølvtrans vessels Aas Mekaniske Verksted has awarded Norwegian pump and liquid handling specialist PG Flow Solutions a contract to deliver equipment to two wellboats that the Norwegian shipbuilder is building for wellboat company Sølvtrans. PG Flow Solutions will deliver eight of the company’s large seawater circulation pumps, which ensure continuous seawater circulation in the boat’s well, to each of the two wellboats. Additionally, the company will supply various engine room pumps that are required for the main engine and support engines, plus various other general-purpose pumps as required for operating the wellboats.

8 Aas Mek’s newbuilds 208-212 for Sølvtrans

The two new wellboats are newbuilds number 211 and 212 from Aas Mek. Verksted. At year-end 2020, PG Flow Solutions won the contracts to deliver similar pump systems to newbuilds 208, 209 and 210.

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

The two sister wellboats are of the yard’s own design, type AAS 3002 ST. Each vessel has a load capacity of 3,000 cubic metres across two wells. They are 76.96 metres long, 17.8 metres wide and 5.8 metres depth moulded. They will be delivered to Sølvtrans during 2023. The pump systems will be assembled at PG Flow Solutions’ main manufacturing facility at Sande in Vestfold, Norway, and delivered to Aas Mekaniske Verksted’s yard at Vestnes. PG Flow Solutions has not disclosed the value of the contract. She will also be the third vessel that Tersan Shipyard has built for Canada.

ESTABLISHING BETTER REARING ENVIRONMENTS FOR SALMON

Image: NSC

Technological advancements are key to aquaculture’s sustainable growth. Now, two initiatives could make significant contributions towards healthier production systems for salmon, writes Bonnie Waycott

The world’s appetite for fish is expected to near double by 2050, and aquaculture is one way to meet this demand. But with many arguing against open-ocean net pens, land-based fish farms are becoming more common, and with this, an increased recognition of the importance of husbandry measures. After 10 years of research and development, Danish firm Blue Unit has developed data and visualisation technology to improve water quality control on RAS salmon farms in Norway. Known as the Blue Unit Platform, the system uses sensors to collect data on 12 vital water quality parameters from up to 12 locations on a farm. There is also a built-in alarm that notifies farmers where and why a change in water quality has occurred. “On RAS farms, a biologist usually takes a water sample once a day but that isn’t enough to understand the daily fluctuations in water quality that fish may experience, let alone how the water treatment system is performing,” said David Owen, Technical Manager at Blue Unit. “In 2012, I began to develop a centralised monitoring system to help farmers understand water quality gradients across their RAS farm.” By centralising sensors and transporting water samples to them, water quality gradients can be determined without the risk of sensor error affecting the result. Measurements are taken with the same sensor before water enters a component and after it leaves, allowing farmers to see the difference in water quality across the given component. In this way, Blue Unit determines what’s happening with different components such as the fish tank, drum filter, biofilter

and degasser. The sensors measure carbon dioxide, total carbonate, pH, redox, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, oxygen, temperature, H2S, rH and total dissolved solids. The required computing power and algorithms are then used to analyse and visualise the results. Optimising land-based production Good water quality control is key for RAS farming. It enables fish to grow fast and reach the required size before they are moved to the next stage. It also prevents stress among the fish and provides a healthy rearing environment. In the long term, Blue Unit’s system means less feed waste, reduced expenses, better animal welfare and g greater p profit. “Our data is modelled led and calculated to provide a bigger, better picture for decision-makers cision-makers and to enable them to understand what it takes to achieve good water quality control,” said Ove Heitmann tmann Hansen, CEO at Blue Unit. “We can identify a change in n a process, and analyse its root causes. In this way we can help with an early warning off an impending problem, and recommendations mmendations for how to remedy it.” Over the last few years, some fish farms have joined together ether to form bigger companies, which has as led to a need to compare data between een different farms that are within the same company. erformance Understanding the performance

of the main components in different RAS facilities and benchmarking them has become increasingly important for certain companies, said Hansen. This is an opportunity for Blue Unit to help them decipher large amounts of data to better understand the situation on their farms. Preparing farmers for challenges Meanwhile, for companies farming in open-ocean pens, harmful algal blooms (HABs) – caused naturally by large phytoplankton populations – are a considerable and increasingly frequent problem, affecting fish through physical interference, de-oxygenation and even death.

It’s hard to quantify how severe a HAB might be at a certain site at a certain point in time, but the risk of mortality events occurring on farms is incredibly high

‘‘

Dr Ryan Mowat, RS Aqua Knowing the timing, location and magnitude of these events in advance would be of great value to farmers, which is why UK ocean science technology provider RS Aqua is looking to build an HAB early-warning system. “There is no specific solution to warn farms that HABs are coming, and yet the commercial and biological damage they cause is something you hear about annually in the media,” said Dr Ryan Mowat, Director of Fisheries & Research at RS Aqua. “We found a funding stream that we thought we could tap into, that would allow us to put the necessary work into developing a solution. We felt that we had the core sensing system already through Innovasea, our Canadian partner on the project, but there was additional cause to make that system applicable to HABs, which is what the funding allowed us to do.” RS Aqua’s system will notify farmers of potential and imminent HABs before they arrive, enabling them to respond

ahead of time and take steps to protect stocks. An oceanographic buoy with water quality sensors will be positioned down-current of nearby farms, while more sensors will be deployed on the farms themselves. Data from all sensors will be sent to the cloud in real time for processing by AI algorithms to inform a risk index, which will be available on farmers’ smartphones. Parameters to be measured include DO, temperature, chlorophyll, turbidity, salinity and meteorological conditions. The sensors will communicate their measurements acoustically through the water to a single data receiver, which is connected to the surface and sends data online via wi-fi or mobile internet. Learning from experience “It’s hard to quantify how severe a HAB might be at a certain site at a certain point in time, but the risk of mortality events occurring on farms is incredibly high,” said Mowat. “At some sites, for example in Shetland, HABs happen between March and October at different areas and times so the risk there is 100%. It’s really down to the measures farms can use to mitigate quickly enough to ensure against commercial and biological damage. “Our system enables farms to learn about the conditions and how conducive they are to HABs happening, allowing them to take appropriate action ahead of time, while the lack of sensor cables makes operations much more streamlined and efficient.” Although the system doesn’t offer advice or recommendations on the type of mitigation measure, it can advise on where such measures could be taken. Another advantage is that it will learn from a farm’s historical water quality monitoring data, and determine the types of harmful phytoplankton that might be expected on a site at any time. But the system’s most important feature, says Mowat, is the possibility to install it at any site and make it work with the environmental conditions specific to that location. Trials are now underway at a Scottish Sea Farms test site in Shetland. Ongoing phytoplankton monitoring data is being collated with sensor data from the site with the aim of having a working system by early 2024.

Focusing on Fisheries Development

PAIRING OCEAN RESTORATION WITH COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY Urchinomics, a Norwegian sea urchin ranching operation has been formally endorsed by the United Nations as an Ocean Decade action, one of only three commercial ventures worldwide to be selected. Bonnie Waycott reports

Marine ecosystem balance Urchinomics was officially launched in summer 2017. What followed was two-and-a-half to three years of research on feed and recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) before the company built the world’s first RAS farm to ranch sea urchins. Hopes are high that with the UN endorsement, Urchinomics will play a key role in meeting priority challenges of the Ocean Decade related to ecosystem management and restoration. “It’s with the utmost humility that we accept the endorsement of our technology and methodology to be recognised as being part of a wider solution to protect ocean biodiversity and promote economic development,” said Brian Tsuyoshi Takeda, CEO and Founder of Urchinomics in a recent press release. “It’s a powerful validation of our ranching technology, which turns a destructive species into a premium, restorative, delicious seafood that therefore helps to bring the kelp forests back to life, promoting balance in our marine ecosystems. We look forward to contributing to meeting the vision of the Ocean Decade, and inspiring other industry partners to commit to delivering ocean science solutions for sustainable development.” Following a nine-month due diligence process, Urchinomics was formally endorsed by the UN in October 2021. With the

On 1 January 2021, the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) was launched by the UN to bring ocean actors together to foster partnerships and generate the knowledge needed to support a well-functioning, productive and resilient ocean. The aim is to create a paradigm shift in the generation of qualitative and quantitative ocean knowledge for the development of solutions that contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Essentially, partners are expected to come together at local, regional, national and global levels to design and deliver solutions such as policies, innovations or management frameworks based on scientific data and knowledge. One such partner is sea urchin ranching firm Urchinomics. Based in Norway, this pioneering aquaculture venture is combatting the destruction of kelp forests by collecting large numbers of sea urchins, on-growing them in tanks and selling them to restaurants. Its aim is to rehabilitate unhealthy oceans into healthy ecosystems by turning ecologically destructive, overgrazing sea urchins into premium seafood products that can be consistently supplied year-round. The company’s business model is helping to restore kelp forests, which in turn supports greater marine biomass, biodiversity and capacity to sequester CO2, all while creating meaningful, full-time employment in rural, coastal communities around the world. What started in Norway is now underway elsewhere – Urchinomics is operating commercially in Japan and setting up operations in California and Canada.

vast majority of endorsements going to government projects, scientific research projects or research institutes rather than industry, this is the first time that a for-profit company has been highlighted. “When we say we’re a UN-endorsed Ocean Decade action, it’s clear that we are doing something for the ocean and that it’s something good,” said Takeda. “What it does for us in practical terms is immediately give us the ability to talk about the real issues. To be able to say yes, we are a for-profit company but we are not a traditional for-profit, is huge. The endorsement helps us get that credibility to be able to talk with key stakeholders and share our vision.”

their livelihoods. Yet predictions of the ocean’s future are dire. It is said that by 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish, while coral reefs may disappear by the turn of the century. With such a bleak outlook, what can the UN Ocean Decade do to establish a framework that will catalyse transformative ocean science solutions for sustainable development? Takeda maintains that focusing on science is key, as well as the many different players of the ocean as a whole, not just specific fields such as aquaculture or fisheries. “The UN Ocean Decade is science-based, which is fantastic because a scientific understanding of the ocean’s responses to pressure is fundamental and we need to work off the science,” he said. “What I also like about the UN endorsement and the wider initiative is that even though science is the driver behind it, it’s not specific to aquaculture or fisheries but rather the ocean in general. “Urchinomics is a hybrid of wild-catch and aquaculture and we work with a vast network of non-profits, science, government, industry and artisanal fisheries so the aquaculture side of things is relatively minor. Furthermore, fishers, government regulators, seafood distribution networks, restaurants and chefs help us tell our story to the end consumer so they understand why they are making these food choices. Working together with many different partners in this way is one big step towards securing the future of the ocean and the welfare of our planet.” Addressing the carbon crisis With the impact of climate change on ocean health hitting the headlines, adaptation strategies and science-informed policy responses are urgently required, and Urchinomics has drawn attention over the years for its ability to restore kelp forests and bind and sequester carbon in the sea in a way that is financially viable. As concerns rise worldwide over whether carbon binding and sequestration is possible in a biodiversity-sustaining way,

Brian Tsuyoshi Takeda, Urchinomics

Takeda believes that Urchinomics’ ability to deliver or contribute to the restoration of kelp forests and biodiversity is a unique and valuable proposition. “A lot of companies, such as energy companies, have reached out to us, which is evidence that they are concerned about their carbon footprint,” said Takeda. “Ecosystem restoration is a positive result of our work and with climate change such a significant topic, this is really important. “We want the biodiversity because the greater the biodiversity is the more stable the ecosystem and the more balanced the environment. Kelp forest restoration increasingly appears to be the driver behind why various companies and stakeholders want to collaborate more with us, and we hope to focus even more on this field as part of our work with the UN Ocean Decade.” Alongside its active operations in Japan, the United States, Canada and Norway, Urchinomics is seeking additional permitted aquaculture sites and local partners in Japan, North America (west coast), Canada (east and west coast), Mexico, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Korea.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

ASSESSING SUMWING’S BENEFITS Fishing company Waterdance, based in the south of England, last year embarked on a trial on board beam trawler Margaret of Ladram by replacing the traditional hardware part of its beam trawl gear with a pair of Sumwings

8 The Sumwing has already proved itself with the Dutch fleet, and trials on board UK beamer Margaret of Ladram have delivered positive outcomes in terms of reduce fuel consumption and ground contact

While the Sumwing was developed in the Netherlands for the Dutch fleet and has been shown to be effective on North Sea fishing grounds, this is the first time that it has been tried in the UK’s south-western waters. The initiative to try out this alternative set of gear and to assess it for reduced ground contact, reduced fuel consumption and emissions, and for catch quality is supported by the Western Fish Producers’ Organisation, of which Waterdance is a member. Traditional beam trawl gear uses a cylindrical steel beam with shoes at each end that are in contact with the seabed, either with wheels or a flat steel base, and the trawls towed from attachment points on the beams and shoes. Game-changing introduction The arrival of the Sumwing was a significant innovation for the Dutch fleet when it was introduced, reducing drag and therefore fuel consumption, and for Waterdance this is a highly relevant factor as twelve of the company’s vessels are beam trawlers. The Dutch fleet’s trials and experience demonstrated a 9% reduction in drag as the conventional cylindrical beam is

16 | MARCH 2022

replaced with a shaped wing which generates lift and flies the beam just clear of the seabed. The original trials in Holland also showed an 84% reduction in ground contact, as the usual heavy shoes at each end of the beam are done away with and a single skid in the middle of the beam instead keeps it oriented in the right position. While conventional beam trawl gear relies on weight to keep the gear on the seabed, the Sumwing is kept in position by its hydrodynamic properties with the force of the warp and the drag of the net behind generating torque that pushes the Sumwing into position, and the single skid serves to lightly touch the ground to balance the Sumwing and keep it in its required position. Increased targeted catch According to Waterdance and the Western FPO, the results of the trials with open beam trawl gear on board Margaret of Ladram have been highly positive, showing a 42% saving in fuel consumption and an accompanying reduction in emissions. Skipper Adam Cowan-Dickie stated that since the end of the trials and while fishing normally, he has seen a continued

FISHING TECHNOLOGY Reduction of the carbon footprint of fishing methods is vital for the future of the industry

‘‘

Waterdance saving of around 30% compared to standard gear, or 60-70 litres per towing hour. The trials were carried out with UK seafood authority Seafish, which reports that there are further advantages, not least that there has been a 69% reduction in benthic discards while fishing. Traditional gear is reported to catch an average of three times more per haul of material that is discarded, and catches have been shown to be practically free of shells. This is believed to be due to the reduced gear footprint on the seabed, and this has the benefits of improving catch quality as well as reducing wear and tear on the trawl gear, extending its longevity and reducing running costs. Further efficiencies Waterdance now intends to work with Brixham fishing gear supplier Brixham Trawl Makers to make further improvements to the gear in line with the fishing grounds the company’s trawlers work, and part of this focuses on further testing, monitoring and observation using underwater cameras. The fishing company is confident that further improvements can be made and is also looking at further modifications, such as alterations that would make it possible to work

closed beam trawl gear with a Sumwing so that this technology can become available to the wider fleet in addition to its own vessels. “Reduction of the carbon footprint of fishing methods is vital for the future of the industry, through positioning fish as an environmentally-conscious option for the public and to the overall reduction of the environmental impact of food production,” Waterdance stated.

8 Unlike traditional beam trawl gear, the hydrodynamicallyengineered Sumwing does not rely on weight to keep the gear on the bottom

TWISTERS DON’T DISAPPOINT When new Icelandic pelagic trawler Börkur was delivered last year, the choice of trawl doors went to a pair of Vónin’s Twisters

8 Börkur was supplied with one of the first pairs of Vónin’s Twister trawl doors when it was delivered new last year. Inset: Börkur’s skipper Hjörvar Hjálmarsson is very satisfied with the Twister trawl doors

The new doors incorporate shutters allowing the lift force of the doors to be altered as required, plus Twister doors are prepared for an active control system that Vónin expects will make these the first smart trawl doors on the market. Skipper Hjörvar Hjálmarsson is already satisfied with the Twister doors that have performed in capelin, herring, mackerel and blue whiting fisheries since Börkur was delivered. “These trawl doors have not disappointed and have performed very well on every occasion,” he said. “You have to chase and turn a lot to hit the marks when fishing for fast-swimming mackerel. But it was very easy to keep the doors right at the surface. Before going for capelin,

we were very excited to see how the Twisters would work because it often can be a challenge to get trawl doors to work at slow towing speeds high in the water. But we saw immediately that the Twister doors were working perfectly. We were even getting 30% more spread close to the surface compared to the other pelagic trawlers.” He added that to set the doors to seek up or down, it’s no problem to adjust the shutters, and even with the new vessel’s largest haul to date, a 900-tonne capelin tow, the door spread was not affected. “These are very powerful, strong doors – the Twisters are the best trawl doors I’ve ever used,” Hjörvar Hjálmarsson said.

Perfect performance With Iceland’s capelin fishery coming towards the end of the season, as the migration passes along the south coast and the concentrations of fish become tighter and often close to shore, Brim’s pelagic vessel Venus sailed with a brand-new purseseine for this critical phase of the season.. According to skipper Bergur Einarsson, they managed a first trip with the new gear, taking 1,800 tonnes of capelin in just four shots, before heading in to discharge the catch before another storm closed fishing down for a few more days.

18 | MARCH 2022

“The new shallow purse seine worked extremely well and performed exactly as expected,” he said. “We’re fishing down to 80 metres and as shallow as 10 metres along the southern part of the shoreline around Iceland The purse seine performed well both when shooting and pursing, and it hauled very evenly through the power block and into the net bin.” The new shallow purse-seine, delivered to Venus when it was spooled on board at Hampiðjan’s Skarfagarðar net loft in Reykjavík, is robustly built in heavy nylon

twine sizes from 210/36 up to 210/72 in the bag to be able to withstand the tensions that are generated when fishing in shallow waters. With the exception of the triangle, the mesh size throughout is 19.6mm and the overall weight of the gear is around 40 tonnes. With a 524 metre corkline and a vertical depth of 126 metres, it provides a 1:4 proportion that is ideal for shooting in a circle around a mark of capelin in shallow water. The gear is rigged with 3600 purse seine floats, with a double row of floats along practically the whole corkline.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY The Spanish tuna fleet has become the world’s first fishery to run an onboard telemedicine project for its crews. This initiative, which forms part of the social sustainability policy the fleet pursues under the banner of the Organisation of Associated Producers of Large Tuna Freezers (OPAGAC), is scheduled to take place over the next 20 months. The three-phase project will be conducted under real-life working conditions on 10 Spanish tuna vessels operating in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, with over 400 crew members on board. Phase one will focus on analysing and studying the kinds of health problems that most often become an issue at sea, to identify the best equipment and medical technologies to install. This study will be conducted by the Polytechnic University of Madrid. Phase two, which will begin next summer, will outfit the participating vessels with what has been found to be the most appropriate equipment, and the third and last phase will involve collecting data and results. OPAGAC’s intention in this project is to address one of the main challenges facing offshore fleets, good medical attention for any on-board health incidents, and to take advantage of the possibilities made available by cutting-edge technologies like satellite

ONBOARD TELEMEDICINE TRIALS

communications and the Internet of Things (IoT). The fleet’s objective is to furnish its crews with smart, connected medical service and thus strengthen its social sustainability policy. OPAGC Managing Director, Julio Morón, explained that the association looks at sustainability from three viewpoints, and from a social viewpoint, the top priority is guaranteeing employee wellbeing and safety onboard its vessels. “We want to equip the officers of our vessels

8 The new project is seeking to offer an intelligent and connected service that facilitates the correct medical attention of any health incident occurring onboard

with the tools they need to take better decisions if a medical issue crops up, by facilitating communication with healthcare professions on land.” The plan is to test the project’s feasibility, and once its efficacy is verified, to transfer that knowledge to other fleets.

PRECISE SALMONID PROCESSING FROM KROMA Gutmaster X, Kroma A/S’s long-awaited equipment for processing farmed Atlantic salmon and trout has been launched by the Danish-headquartered company following extensive trials According to Kroma CEO, Ivan Kristensen, the company “revolutionised” the Gutmaster X design to ensure that it can perform multiple tasks “impeccably” and requiring no more than the press of a button on the machine’s display unit. First and foremost, Gutmaster X detects individual fish sizes the moment that they arrive at the machine. It then conducts all of its cuts accordingly. A specially-designed fish cutting technique ensures the fish are portioned while leaving the heads and tails untouched. Afterwards, a gentle suction unit removes the waste and blood from the fish. Kroma’s suction function also conducts a double-cleaning of the fish, which ensures superior quality. “Gutmaster X is the only gutting machine with an integrated water hose attached to the suction unit, that removes both guts and the whole bloodline from the fish within a second of work, providing excellent result,” Kristensen said.

Ivan Kristensen, Kroma With Kroma’s its strong focus on hygiene, Gutmaster X has been designed in such a way that all the inside components can be easily washed from all the angles or demounted with a quick-release system for disinfection purposes. Some of the tools can be even washed in a dishwasher. Moreover, Gutmaster X can be upgraded with multiple accessories. These optional additions include Visiomaster, which inspects each processed fish and determines whether it

requires manual inspection or can further continue to the next step of the processing line. Other options, such as CIP and cleaning mode systems make sure that a Gutmaster X machine can be cleaned several times in between the gutting process. However, Kroma believes the most exciting accessory is the Remote Access Supervision, which gives one of its service technicians direct access to the gutting machine – no matter where in the world that machine is stationed. The only condition required is the availability of the internet connection. Through this innovation, Kroma is able to check and control all electrical functions of the gutting machine at the fish processing site.

NAVIS PRO SCALES UP ITS FISHING BOAT EXPERTISE Having quickly made its mark with its 8-metre 800 Fisher boats, young Lithuanian boat-building company UAB Navis PRO has won praise and orders for its larger 13-15 metre vessels, and is keen to showcase its work at the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition in June Navis PRO only acquired its fishing and leisure boat moulds and the rights to produce them from their very successful Norwegian owners in March 2020. Navis PRO spokesman Kostas Norgėla explained that adding the 40 years’ boatbuilding experience of the company’s owners and partners, it got to work constructing and certifying a series of 800 Fishers. At the same time, it restored and upgraded a 15-metre mould capable of delivering the same level of build quality in 13-15 metre fishing boats. It is already working with two Norwegian clients – one for a 15-metre vessel and the other for a 13-metre boat – with design details close to finalisation. Additionally, negotiations are ongoing with a Danish dealer that supplies 15-metre vessels to Greenland. Norgėla explains that having a flexible design is key, and that each design process must factor in all of the client’s needs, including floor plans and how many crew will be onboard fishing trips. As such, Navis PRO boats can differ greatly in terms of shape and layout. Once Navis PRO knows exactly what the client needs and what the boat must look like, the moulds are prepared and construction can begin. “All of the Norwegian agents that we have spoken to and who have seen our 800 Fishers have been very pleasantly surprised at the quality that we have produced. That was our

goal – to get the smaller boat right first so we can prove that we can make the bigger ones too. After all, the build process is exactly the same for 8-metre boats as it is for 15-metre boats; the larger ones just take longer,” Norgėla said. He added, “We are a new company, but we are eager to prove ourselves as a strong player. Also, our production manager has been building GRP boats for more than 30 years now, so we know how to build strong, durable boats that are up to the rigours of fishing, and that’s what we want to show to visitors at the expo in Iceland.”

Thyborøn takes door technology to a new level The Bluestream Type 22 trawl doors introduced by Thyborøn Trawldoor four years ago have been highly successful, but now the company has pushed development even further, while also preparing for full door control of the doors in the water. Now in use, the new Type 32 Bluestream doors not only show a significant increase in efficiency, but these are also prepared for remote control functionality – a process that Thyborøn has had in development for some time, but which was held up by the COVID pandemic. The Type 32 doors have been tested initially onboard trawlers in Greenland and Iceland, followed by a 10m2 pair being supplied for further testing on board pelagic vessel Frank Bonefaas, replacing a 12m2 pair of Type 22 doors. Its first production doors have also reached customers, with Faroese pelagic vessel Jupiter heading for mackerel grounds in international water with its 12.5m2 Type 32

8 The Type 32 Bluestream doors show a significant increase in efficiency and are also prepared for remote control functionality

doors which were delivered in Kollafjørður, and Shetland pelagic vessel Antares called in Skagen for a 12.5m2 pair of doors. Refinements to the hydrodynamics, working with CFD simulation and with wind tunnel and flume tank testing, have built on the success of the Type 22 doors and the Bluestream technology to develop something new, while working within the overall dimensions and door weight largely unchanged.

These Type 32 doors have significantly more spreading force than Thyborøn’s Type 22s, which the company’s Henrik Andreassen maintains are the best on the market. “The Type 32 doors have a deeper curve to the foils which forces a larger volume of water through the door. That makes them both more powerful and gives them even greater stability. This isn’t a small increase – this is a big step in terms of generating spread,” Andreassen said. He added that the deeper profile of the doors, combined with the high tensile steel that Thyborøn Trawldoor uses, makes these doors even stronger than previous pelagic trawl doors, traded off against a slight increase in weight. The Type 32 doors are tailor made for each customer and can be supplied either straight or in a V configuration, plus they can be rigged to either V or parallel bridles, and protective door keels can be added for towing close to the seabed.

FUEL & POWER

HYBRID PROPULSION WITH BENEFITS Because Bluewild’s new trawler will primarily be used for shrimp and whitefish trawling, and recognising that these fisheries require different levels of towing power, Ulstein has developed a battery hybrid propulsion solution that is expected to provide large reductions in diesel consumption and emissions compared to a trawler with traditional propulsion. To optimise the 73.2-metre vessel’s fuel-efficiency, its hybrid system comprises two propellers that can combine battery power with both diesel-electric and dieselmechanical propulsion. “Through analyses and tank tests, we estimate that this hybrid system, together with other energy-saving measures on board, will give at least a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and emissions compared to a similar modern trawler performing this type of combination fishing, and the savings can in some operations exceed 40%,” Ulstein System Architect, Frode Sollid, said. “If designing and planning only for maximum engine power to ensure that the vessel will be able to perform all the assignments in the operation profile, the vessel will be expensive to operate and lead to unnecessary emissions during the less energy-intensive operations. In such development work, it is therefore important to ask the question: Can this be done in another way?” he said. Two is better than one For Ulstein and Bluewild, the first step in the process towards lower energy consumption was to map how vessels use their power systems and to establish their most important properties. For a freezer trawler, for example, the dominant mode of operation is trawling, while the vessel is rarely transiting at high speeds.

Many elements together make this trawler a masterpiece

‘‘

Frode Soll, Ulstein Design & Solutions With the decision taken to focus on increasing efficiency during trawling, two propellers will be installed instead of the traditional one-propeller solution because the increased propeller area increases the vessel’s towing efficiency. Additionally, the two propellers will be placed in separate skegs in a twin-skeg hull, which provides advantages in terms of equipment placement and propeller efficiency. The ship is also to be equipped with rudder nozzles, which, during trials, were found to be significantly more efficient than ordinary rudders. Ship designer Bjørnar Hatløy, who has led the development of the ULSTEIN FX101 design, said that a lot of attention has been given to how very different operations can be carried out as economically and energy-efficiently as possible.

Ecofive, the new factory trawler being built for Ålesund, Norway-headquartered Bluewild, has been designed by Ulstein Design & Solutions AS to meet the fishing company’s ambition to minimise its emissions

Based on this, a system architecture was designed that is optimal for performing efficiently at a low-, medium- and high-power consumption, he said. “During the most energy-intensive operations, such as shrimp fishing with quadruple trawl, both main engines will be used – mechanically connected to each propeller to be most efficient at high power. But the vessel should also be able to operate efficiently with lighter trawling that requires less engine load, and it has been enabled to do so in dieselelectric mode with only one of the main engines in operation.” Enabling the propellers to run at a very low speed, gives very high efficiency during trawling, Hatløy said. “The vessel will be quieter and little power is needed to operate the ship. In this way, the advantages of both diesel-mechanical and diesel-electric power systems are utilised.”

8 The newbuild’s propulsion system will support fuel savings of at least 25% per kg of fish product produced compared to a conventional power system

Future-proofed design Sollid added that knowing what a vessel will be tasked to do, where it will operate and how much power will be required are key to its design. He said that for Bluewild’s newbuild, good experiences of the X-BOW in other ship types led to a hull that is tailor-made for this type of vessel, and that together with the decision to optimise the hull lines for a speed of 10-12 knots, the vessel has larger capacities than those of other fishing vessels of this length. “The hybrid propulsion system of the Bluewild trawler is a very future-oriented solution that makes it possible to conduct different types of fishing in an efficient way and ensures future opportunities for new fisheries that may come. Many elements together make this trawler a masterpiece,” Sollid said.

FUEL & POWER

DELIVERING 100% EMISSION-FREE ENERGY FOR AQUACULTURE Many fish farms don’t have access to shore power and 40% of those along the Norwegian coast rely on diesel generators, demonstrating there’s a clear need for an alternative that doesn’t generate CO2

8 Electricity sourced from a combination of solar and hydrogen could supply the 40% of Norwegian fish farms facilities that don’t have shore power

A patented floating solar power plant developed in Inseanergy is intended to provide green and emissions-free electrical power to fish farms. But when solar power production is low, there is a need for alternative zero emission energy – and this is where Norwegian Hydrogen comes in, being a producer and supplier of green hydrogen. The two energy suppliers have therefore entered into a strategic collaboration agreement. “By combining our solution for local energy production from floating solar cells with a hydrogen fuel cell system and green hydrogen from Norwegian Hydrogen, we can offer a complete emission-free solution to all off-grid fish farms,” Inseanergy CEO, Jan Erik Våge Klepp, said. “The Norwegian aquaculture industry is already a world leader in sustainability, and if we can enable them to cut all greenhouse gas emissions from the operation of their facilities, they will further reinforce this position.” Norway has around 400 fish farms that do not have access to a shore power connection. To provide the feed barges of these facilities with electrical power, an estimated 10 tonnes of green hydrogen per plant is expected to be required, in addition to energy generated by Inseanergy solar power plants. The energy demand becomes significantly larger if the requirements of service vessels are added to this, with a potential annual need for thousands of tonnes of green hydrogen. “There’s no doubt that this co-operation represents a great potential for us,” said Jens Berge, CEO of Norwegian Hydrogen. “Green hydrogen and solar cells complement each other very well, providing 100% emission-free energy to customers.

28 | MARCH 2022

It is a winning recipe we strongly believe that many aquaculture companies want, and in the long term the opportunities are great for other customer segments as well.” Berge pointed out that the systems it is now developing with Inseanergy can be applied for all types of energyintensive marine purposes that are difficult to electrify directly through shore power connection. “We are impressed by how far Inseanergy has come in a short period of time and see a huge potential far beyond what we are now collaborating on,” he added. Although there are other hydrogen suppliers, Våge Klepp at Inseanergy has no doubt that they have found the right partner. “We needed a national player who can ensure that we can offer our customers a consistent year-round delivery regardless of where they are located,” he said. “There are not many such players, but in Norwegian Hydrogen we have found a very good match. The fact that we both already have projects aimed for the aquaculture industry means that we quickly found good synergies, and we really look forward to further collaboration.” The two companies mpanies are now setting aside resources to define the collaboration in further detail, and nd in order to identify what is required to merge rge the two technologies into one hybrid concept. cept. Inseanergy and nd Norwegian Hydrogen also plan to explore opportunities to realise pilots together with customers to test and mission-free energy validate the emission-free system in real operations.

AQUACULTURE

TURKISH AQUACULTURE ON THE RISE Diversification will be key to the country’s fish farming growth, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

8 Fish farming is one of Turkey’s blue growth activities

If Turkish aquaculture integrates the latest advanced technologies and establishes new product segments, it could drive up its total output up to a level beyond 1 million tonnes per year by 2030 – that’s the widely-held view of many of the country’s fish farmers and those closely associated with the industry. Over the past decade, Turkey has achieved exceptional results with regards to the development of its fish farming industry, albeit focused on the production of three key species: gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In 2020, the Turkish overall aquaculture production stood at 421,000 tonnes, with these three species jointly accounting for more than 90% of the total volume. Expanding on the official data, Prof Bayram Öztürk, head of the Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), told WF that in 2020, Turkey produced 148,900 tonnes of seabass, 109,749 tonnes of gilthead sea bream, and 144,182 tonnes of rainbow trout, including 126,000 tonnes of inland production and 18,182 tonnes in marine cages. Turkey’s aquaculture exports have steadily grown over the past decade – exceeding US$1 billion for the first time in 2020, with the country supplying around 40% of all the gilthead seabream and European seabass sold in the global market. By 2023, Turkish farmed fish production is projected to reach around 600,000 tonnes, TUDAV forecasts. And, since most of the additional quantities are destined for export, the

30 | MARCH 2022

Turkish Central Union of Fishery Cooperative projects the export to pass the $2 billion mark in 2023. At the same time, and while the growth potential within the seabream and seabass sector is yet to be exhausted, Turkish fish farmers are increasingly looking into new segments. “Bluefin tuna, yellowtail (Seriola dumerili), meagre (Argyrosomus regius), dentex (Dentex dentex), shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa), common sea bream (Pagrus pagrus), and some other species are cultured in small amounts according to the market demand,” Öztürk said. He also highlighted that trout farmers’ associations expect Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) production using recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) to start in Turkey in the near future. Mussels, salmon growth Öztürk told WF there is some room for development in the seafood segment. In particular, the growing of Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) is gaining popularity in Turkey, with production jumping from 329 tonnes in 2016 to 4,037 tonnes. Several more major mussel farms are now under construction in the country aimed at raising the local supply. “The driving force behind the mussel farms was a new concept of mussel restaurants. Wild stocks failed to provide the mussels needed to meet the new demand, and so new farms were established,” Öztürk said. Mussel consumption is indeed on the rise in Turkey, even

AQUACULTURE though this segment faces new challenges. In 2021, a group of experts warned against eating mussels due to the pollution that causes marine sludge or mucilage. Nuray Erkan, an aquatic sciences expert from Istanbul University, told local press that aquaculture products with poor meat yield and nutritional content were expected last season due to a mucilage invasion that had impacted the feeding base of several species. Despite efforts taken by the authorities to battle the mucilage, concerns remain that this sludge, which thrives in warm temperatures, has taken a foothold in the Marmara Sea. Among the causes of the problem, global warming is believed to be partly culpable. As per a 430-page report published by TUDAV in 2020, the country’s mussel production is set to rise to 40,000 tonnes in the next few years, with this figure not taking into account inland farming. Most farms are expected to be built on the southern Marmara and Aegean coasts. However, mussels are not the only aquaculture segments showing promise in Turkey. Ufuk Atakan Demir, a Member of the Board of the Aegean Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters’ Association, said the prospects of salmon farming also look rather optimistic. “Exports amounted to $130 million in 2021. This year it is set to rise to $250-300 million,” Demir said, adding that Turkish farmers have secured a farmed salmon foothold in the Russian market. “We look forward to the future of Turkish salmon. Apart from Russia, we export to the United States, European countries, Japan and the Far East,” he said.

Demir forecasts that in 2022 Turkish salmon production can be expected to reach 60,000 tonnes. He also maintains that Turkey is still at the beginning of the road when it comes to salmon production, and that its output is set to rise further as Turkish salmon finds a place in the world market alongside the products coming out of Norway and Chile.

AQUACULTURE

8 Turkey is close to being fully self-sufficient in terms of both aquafeeds and broodstock

State support As Turkey mainly exports its fish to the European Union, any spikes in sales have not gone unnoticed by European companies and regulators. The Turkish government has also provided the sector with support in the form of subsidies in excess of €600 million between 2003 and 2016, according to TUDAV estimates. “Recently, state subsidies have been cut by the government due to the pressure from European producers who claim that Turkish government’s subsidies create unfair competitive conditions,” Öztürk said. The EU imposed a countervailing duty on rainbow trout from Turkey in February 2015 to prevent this kind of unfair competition from Turkish imports, as a result of a complaint lodged by the Danish Aquaculture Association on behalf of EU trout farmers. The countervailing duties ranged from 6.7 to 9.5%. Over the past few years, the European Commission has been of the opinion that the Turkish government constantly changes its trout farmers’ subsidy programmes in order to avoid countervailing duties. And it is believed that Turkish trout farmers continue to receive subsidies that allow them to import into the EU at prices that are very close, if not below, EU farmers’ cost of production. While the government support programme has been altered, it has not been abandoned altogether. The state still largely supports the trout segment, including subsidising broodstock production. In addition, authorities put some effort into promoting the growth of production of mussels, carp and new species. So far, these endeavours have not attracted the attention of the European regulators. “State aid is important for the SMEs. Most of the time, they struggle to fight with the changing market conditions where bigger producers can support their cash flows with exports,” Öztürk said. In the meantime, Turkey is expected to further strengthen its position in foreign markets in 2022. The lira exchange rate plunged by 44% against the dollar and euro last year, making all Turkish goods more attractive in overseas markets in terms of price, and making international trade more lucrative for the country’s fish businesses. Strong supply base Öztürk also advised that Turkey’s fish farmers can source broodstock, aquafeed, and equipment on the domestic market, which is an essential factor driving the growth of the aquacultural industry’s production performance. “Turkish aquaculture industry is mostly self-sufficient in terms of broodstock. In fact, the world’s biggest larvae producers for seabass and seabream are in Turkey, and they

provide larvae and fry to the Mediterranean basin fish farms,” Öztürk said. There are only gaps in the off-season and for disease-free eggs for trout farming, which are currently imported, he remarked. That said, the booming Turkish salmon production has resulted in some investments for off-season and diseasefree egg production, which will provide half of the imported eggs. Therefore, the gap will likely be closed in the near future, and trout egg production will be fully local, he added. Similarly, the country has a strong aquafeed industry, Ozturk said, with more than 30 fish feed plants already in Turkey, most of which are integrated with fish farms. The sector’s main issue is the lack of fishmeal, which is mostly imported.

8 State aid for aquaculture in Turkey

We look forward to the future of Turkish salmon. Apart from Russia, we export to the United States, European countries, Japan and the Far East

‘‘

Ufuk Atakan Demir, Aegean Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters’ Association “Farming equipment (feeds etc) are both imported and exported. There are local equipment producers who are successful exporters at the same time. Some farms prefer imported, branded equipment with good reputations whereas others prefer locally produced counterparts,” Ozturk said. “The production growth will most likely come from Turkish salmon, mussels, and to some extent from seabass and seabream. Production will continue to grow even after 2030, but it is not easy to provide a production forecast with the current economic situation and pandemic conditions,” Öztürk said. Öztürk also explained that Turkish aquaculture has been growing at a rate of 6-10% annually since the 1980s, and it is believed that this will continue at a similar pace over the next few years. If this forecast is realised, then Turkish farmed fish production will exceed 1 million tonnes by around 2029, he suggested. 8 Turkish aquaculture production is expected to rise beyond 600,000 tonnes in 2023
