THE COMMON DRIVING FORCE

….The search for SUSTAINABILITY

ECONOMICAL

SOCIAL

ENVIRONMENTAL

… but with «localized» focuses and approaches


DRIVING FORCES – SALMON INDUSTRY

SHORELINE

The exponential challenge of the coastal sone

• CONCENTRATION OF STAKEHOLDER INTEREST

• WATER QUALITY

• AVAILABLE SPACE FOR EXPANSION

• ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF CONCENTRATED ACTIVITIES

MAIN FOCUS AREA FOR TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

MAJORITY OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION


DRIVING FORCES – SALMON INDUSTRY

SHORELINE

AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY MAKES DIVERSIFICATION FROM COSTAL SONE POSSIBLE

EXPOSED SITES FARMING

LAND BASEDFARMING


CAGE FARMING DEVELOPMENT

SHELTERED EXPOSED OCEAN FARMING

SHORELINE

INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT:

• ENLARGEMENT AND

INCREASED ROBUSTNESS

INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENT:

• BASED ON EXPERIENCES FROM AQUACULTURE

AND OFFSHORE INDUSTRY


DEVELOPMENT OF LAND BASED AND CLOSED CONTAINMENT TECHNOLOGIES

SHORELINE

• Based on principles of water treatment developed over

decades

• Rapid amendment of technology to aquaculture

• Reuse of water and energy in controlled environment

• Extensively used for multiple species

LAND BASED TECHNOLOGY


DEVELOPMENT OF LAND BASED AND CLOSED CONTAINMENT TECHNOLOGIES

SHORELINE

• Primarily based on principles of cage based technology

• Seeks to solve the challenges of the coastal zone and

regulatory framework

• Most examples early phase technologies

CLOSED CONTAINMENT TECHNOLOGY AT SEA

DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE REQUIRES

ALL CRITERIA IN PLACE


THE ESSENSE OF

A RESPONSIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH


THE CHALLENGE AND THE PARADOX

AQUACULTURE COULD BE AN

ANSWER TO BOTH

THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE;

• World population increase• World’s food production systems are unsustainable• Managing the contribution of the food system to the

mitigation of climate change• Maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services while

feeding the world

THE GLOBAL PARADOX;

o 1 Billion people worldwide are starvingo 1 Billion people worldwide are obese


IS THIS THE «EARTH» – OR IS IT THE «OCEAN»?
