Slight fall in production but value remains steady – testament to growing demand for Irish farmed seafood Donal Maguire, Director of Aquaculture Development Services at BIM European Maritime Fisheries Fund, better known as the EMFF. Although there are still some hurdles to overcome, the Seafood Operational Programme should be in place by the end of 2015 and in 2016, and with a following wind, there should be a healthy flow of investment, backed by the state and the EU into the sector.

LICENSING

Donal Maguire

lthough there has been many a recent false dawn in the turning about of the fortunes of the Irish aquaculture sector, I do think that genuine, albeit small, green shoots of recovery are visible at present. The seed mussel fishing season of 2014 showed a marked improvement over the previous 3 years with some 10,000 tonnes of seed being successfully re-laid and our salmon farmers also managed to bring nearly all of their young stock through the critical AGD period last year. These positive developments will filter through into increased levels of output and sales by the end of 2015 and into 2016. As important as these modest output increases are, in and of themselves, more important will be the restoration of confidence to the owners and investors in the farming companies. By virtue of this recovery the

farm managers are showing that they are coming to terms with the production difficulties that beset their sectors and that they can effectively manage the risks associated with production, meaning that they can once again begin to set longer term plans to grow their companies into the future. On the “official” or administrative side of things there is also some progress to report. The prospect of a new and exciting period lies ahead with the introduction of the new Seafood Operational Programme under the aegis of the

Salmon Cage

Even that old chestnut aquaculture licensing is showing some thawing of the perennial permafrost. Licence determinations have been arrived at in Roaringwater Bay and Castlemaine Harbour, and Dungarvan will follow in the relatively near future. The system still requires a lot of improvement and it has not yet settled down to become the predictable reliable and commercially aware licensing system that we all ultimately wish for. Nevertheless, we must applaud progress when and where we see it and then redouble our collective efforts

to overcome the remaining log jams that still persist in bedevilling the system. Government policy in favour of increasing output remains firm and is now backed by very strong support from the EU. The road ahead is not fully clear but we can move forward.

DEMAND

FOR QUALITY

PRODUCT Driving all of these efforts is the demand for high quality sustainably produced Irish farmed seafood in the marketplace - and thankfully, the prospects there remain very bright. Although production volume from the Irish aquaculture sector has fallen over the last five years, its value has remained relatively steady. This is testament to the strong demand for quality Irish farmed seafood and all of the indicators are that this demand will stay steady, or in most cases, will continue to grow. The opportunity for Irish farmed seafood undoubtedly remains bright, if collectively, we can overcome the remaining administrative and technical obstacles that still stand in our way. Personally, knowing the Irish aquaculture industry and the individuals within it as well as I do, I have every confidence that we will now begin to witness a sustainable Renaissance in output growth that will last well into the foreseeable future.

Demystifying IMTA Benen Dallaghan, GIS Officer with BIM explains the principles behind Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture and how it could benefit Irish aquaculture

have been keeping aquariums for over 40 years and during this time I have learned a lot about fish and other aquaria species. Starting out, many people quickly realise that locating a fish tank close to a window doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work as algae quickly colonise the glass and water, thereby making it difficult to see the fish. To counter this, you might move the tank to a more shaded position as less light means less plant growth. Another way to control algae is to introduce cleaner fish and/or aquatic snails which graze on the green algae covered glass, plants and pebbles. When aquarium keeping, it is essential to maintain good water quality. In a low tech domestic aquarium, this usually means using a pump to aerate and circulate water, coupled with a water removal/replacement regime to reduce the buildup of nitrates and other nutrients that result from fish excretion. I generally remove a third of the aquarium water on a

weekly basis and then use this water for growing green house plants. This works well and these crops flourish as a result because water rich in nitrates is good for plant growth. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise it forty years ago but my fish tank was a small-scale example of IMTA (Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture). This term sounds complicated but in reality the concept is quite simple: i.e. using a variety of aquatic species, each at different levels in the food chain (trophic level), to create a balanced

aquaculture system. In short, fish higher up the food chain help to nourish those lower down. For example, salmon fed a diet of high protein food pellets generate nutrient waste and this, in part, provides sustenance for filter-feeding animals such as mussel as well as seaweeds such as kelp. There is great potential for IMTA in Ireland, and many of the lessons learned from the household aquarium are applicable on a larger commercial scale. Salmon cages can be kept clean by

grazing sea urchins in much the same way as snails keep glass clean in a domestic fish tank. The difference is that sea urchins are good to eat. Mussel and seaweed growing structures can be located close to salmon farms thereby encouraging excellent seaweed and shellfish growth. All this makes good commercial sense as sea urchins, seaweed and mussels are all prized seafood items and have established global markets. Some Irish bays could be

Sea urchins and sea cucumbers can play an important role in IMTA.

considered to fall under the IMTA heading to varying degrees. In Cleggan Bay for example, you can see cultivation of mussels, oysters and salmon, and in Killary harbour there are mussel and salmon aquaculture sites in close proximity. In Bantry Bay, mussels, salmon and seaweed all grow but at considerable distances from each other. There is also a solid ecological basis for IMTA as these systems offer a way of balancing nutrients in the environment. For example, organic matter rich in nitrogen and carbon is released from finfish. This matter and its constituent nutrients are consumed/absorbed by shellfish and seaweed

they are grown alongside species such as abalone (large sea snails) and seaweed. In this type of system, abalones are fed a plantbased diet and the sea cucumbers feed on tank deposits that are generated by the abalone. Seaweeds are grown in the nutrientrich outflow that emanates from the abalone growing tanks. Sea cucumbers may also be used at sea in open aquaculture systems where they graze under sea pens. It is unclear how much potential sea cucumbers have in the Irish salmon industry, as these marine aquaculture sites are high energy (large waves/strong currents) and nondepositional which may lead to the animals having little to feed on. As a general rule in finfish aquaculture, feeding your fish is your greatest expense. IMTA is a way where you can get more back from the food you put in. Tangible results from costly food input can be maximised as fish higher up the food chain help to nourish those lower down. This also means that the grower has a greater variety of produce to bring to market. It seems obvious to me that these systems make sound economic and environmental sense.

thereby reducing carbon and nitrogen levels in the water. At present, many countries are researching sea cucumbers and their role in IMTA. These bottomfeeding animals are related

to sea urchins and are prized in Asia for their medicinal properties. Sea cucumbers are deposit feeders and in Ireland they are currently used in salt water RAS (recirculating aquaculture) systems where

Communicating Aquaculture: how salmon farming created its own biggest problem Richie Flynn, IFA Aquaculture

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney TD (right) accepting a copy of the 2015 International Salmon Farmers Association Report from Richie Flynn, IFA Aquaculture

n 2015, the International Salmon Farmers Association (www.salmonfarmers.org) report on the socio economic impact of salmon farming worldwide received a lot of press. Everyone agreed this positive action from ISFA and would encourage decision makers to look at the sector armed with more facts than emotion. But the real question here is why should a €10 billion international industry feel the need to constantly justify its existence, despite creating a phenomenal 14.8 billion meals a year? Some would argue that the industry needs to battle against the negative images and false accusations of NGOs and other activists.

Industry feels constantly embattled by these attacks and we think that politicians’ support for the

sector is threatened by the steady negative stream of de-marketing messages. But I would argue myself

out of a job potentially and say that as an industry we shouldn’t spend so much time or energy directly responding to every attack. The most persuasive argument in favour of a different approach is the actual wealth of polling data in Ireland and the EU which shows quite clearly that the vast majority (80% plus) of the population neither know nor care about aquaculture. They want cheap, safe, high quality fish in the most convenient form possible and then to move on with their lives. That is a fact but because social media and The Irish Times give such a disproportionate view of the world and amplify the concerns of what really is a very tiny minority of wealthy salmon anglers and private fishery owners, does

not mean we should waste scarce resources rising to their bait every time they cast out. We forget that for the “antis” it’s a game. If they think their message is threatened or nullified by science or success, they simply change the rules or move the goalposts. No one asks them the hard questions. What we also forget is that the rules of business and logic are anathema to negative campaigning strategy. If an NGO gets what it purportedly wants, by definition it loses its reason to exist (and its crucial income stream). Human nature and the survival instinct make sure that the door is always left open and resolution is always beyond the collective grasp thanks to the “big, bad industry”. The truth is that we handed the “antis” all of the ammunition they needed when decades ago the industry naively assumed that scientists, academics and hardworking entrepreneurs – none of whom were trained in communications – should be the vanguard of industry public relations. But for all their good intentions, they failed miserably because no matter how skilled or confident these very bright people were in their own fields, they were constrained morally and on principle from playing fast and loose with facts. And they enjoy explaining things using long words and complicated sentences. They shy away from confrontation. They’re a media turn off, to be honest. And they’re also why the industry internationally is so weighed down with inappropriate and scary

language about cages, feed, mortalities, etc that can be manipulated and used against us. Take a simple example. Why do we talk so much about “tonnes”? Why mention them at all? Do you ever hear another type of farmer describe his operations in “tonnage” terms? Does the person in the street know what a tonne looks like or means? Is a tonne as big as a car or big as a house? We might be comfortable with it but an office worker, teacher, taxi driver or even politician doesn’t have a clue: and why should they? Our assumptions that people will “get” the science behind aquaculture is presumptive and patronising. I’ve seen industry people get frustrated with members of the public because they don’t understand the concept of feed conversion! Instead we need to speak in the language of our most important audience – our customers. We need to consider what they know, what they want to feel assured about and what

points of reference we can use to give them ownership of ideas and images they are confident about. Ignoring the antis is hard. They may only represent 2% of the population but they are loud, leveraged and skilled at creating negative images. Think of “farming tigers”, “clouds of lice”, “sewage of a small city” – all nonsense concepts if critically challenged, but by then it is too late and the target audience has already assimilated a simple phrase and feels confident in repeating the nonsense as if it were their own idea. The internet and social media has created new prophets of doom (who wouldn’t survive

two seconds in a real life debate), amplified negativity and drawn the industry into an energy-sapping and unwinnable conflict which is actually absolutely meaningless beyond the confines of a very small audience. Leveraging control of the agenda using neat and audience-focused ideas are the real power of NGO communication and they put a lot of effort into it. And that’s the key lesson the industry too has to learn, by putting its efforts into being better than the NGOs at this type of messaging and learning to stop digging holes and start building ideas.

OYSTERS IN ASIA: are far off hills always greener? Richard Donnelly, Aquaculutre Business Planning Manager, BIM ith Irish gigas oyster production increasing to 9,000 tonnes in 2014 the market in France has continued to be challenging - particularly towards the end of the year. Ireland continues to export the majority of its oysters - over 88% in 2014 - to this market with the vast majority sold in bulk format. This creates problems for producers when market conditions are less than favourable. This is clearly evident in the Christmas season of 2014. Prices remained positive right up to the Christmas period when a number of factors such as increased production of large oysters from France coupled with a lack of promotion at retail level drove the demand from Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main export market down significantly. Ireland, although producing oysters of excellent quality is unable to capitalise on this as Irish product is more often than not only considered by the French packers at lower prices or when production in France is limited. More importantly however, Irish oysters are not recognised for their quality in the French market as many are simply relayed in France or packed under French brand names. With the scale and fragmentation of the Irish industry it is very difficult to get brand recognition and

product placement at retail or food service level in France. Therefore some Irish exporters are looking at developing more direct sales under a branded offering to markets in the Far East.

WORKING

TOGETHER A group of five key producers have decided to work together to promote Irish oysters in these far off markets. The companies: Irish Premium Oysters; Little Samphire Island; Majestic

Oysters; Harty Oysters; and the Carlingford Oyster Company came together under the Asia Oyster Group to sell under the common theme of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oysters from Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. While there has been a lot of talk about lucrative markets in this part of the world the reality is that it is an extremely difficult and selective market. The export of French oysters to Hong Kong and China amounted to a total of 1,529 tonnes in 2014. During

this same period Ireland exported a total of 81 tonnes of oysters to this region. While Irish oysters have been very well received in these export markets it has been difficult to get brand recognition for Irish oysters. But in Hong Kong, for example, where Irish oysters have been a regular on the menu for many years consumers are beginning to identify the product - in particular brand names such as Majestic, and Irish Premium Oysters. The Asia Oyster Group has been working extensively in the Chinese market with the objective of securing high end exclusive markets for Irish oysters. This continues to be a challenging market in terms of consumer understanding and increasing volumes. Working as a group can considerably reduce costs as market development is expensive, time consuming and has the added difficulty of cultural and time differences. Despite this, all the companies involved are extremely professional. They also have strong individual brand identities and are offering quality product. While this journey is just beginning it is hoped to substantially increase sales and create awareness of the quality of oysters produced in Ireland.

BIM Seafood Leadership & Scale Conference Donal Buckley, Director of Business Development and Innovation Services at BIM

ver 100 industry leaders and policy makers attended the BIM ‘Leadership and Scale Conference’ to debate leadership and how the industry will be positioned in 3-5 years both at sector level and as individual companies. This event was set to the background of global dynamics which favour seafood: 3 billion new middle class consumers (2030) - primarily in Asia where there is an insatiable demand for seafood, and with seafood prices expected to rise by 25% over next 5 years. The future looks promising, so what is stopping us ? Two key factors were debated at the conference. l Need for more raw material l Achieving “right size” companies to compete effectively in global markets Delegates debated historical “quota raw deal” but also the opportunity to become the North Atlantic Processing Hub, progressively landing and processing more of the international catch as well as our own quota. This has potential for significantly increasing coastal employment, improved valued-adding and increasing prices for the sector as a whole.

IRISH

SECTOR IS TOO

FRAGMENTED The second challenge is to achieve right size or a scaled sector. Compared with international competitors, our sector is too fragmented, and loosing value through internal rivalry and limited commercial and marketing resources. By collaborating better, we can reduce costs of processing and duplication between companies, and investing the savings in value-adding and marketing to generate higher returns for our seafood.

There was much debate on how to build scale ways forward with an emerging consensus to have less midsize companies and more specialised innovative type companies and larger companies ( €100 m + turnover). To achieve competitive scale, two ways forward were proposed. l Voluntary Sectorial Clusters l Development of Sectorial Champions

Voluntary Sectorial Clusters envisages likeminded companies coming together, with a common vision and setting up a NEWCO with common purchasing, processing and marketing, eliminating duplication. Examples were Dairy Co-operatives, Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group The second option is for the State to facilitate the development of Sectorial Champions underpinned by a sector strategy for industry as a whole with leadership upskilling and investment funding. This approach is consistent with the development of large export business that exist in dairy, beef poultry, consumer food businesses. Currently, BIM provides a range of supports including international reference tours, a range of financial supports to grow scale and innovation, and to assist companies to develop their management structures and understanding of joint ventures. To progress the scale agenda, a Sectorial Strategy will be developed in consultation with industry by end of 2015.

DELTA VALVES & PLASTICS

Irish Seafood Industry can achieve global status ‘by embracing ambition and innovation’ – conference told Roger Cole

ne of BIM's keynote speakers at its Leadership and Scale Conference in 2015 was Eddie Power, CEO and Managing Director of Green Isle Foods Ltd. An outline of his career (see box) suggests it is not unreasonable to listen and to take his remarks seriously, even if he himself admits from the outset that he has a limited knowledge of the seafood industry. A view of the forest rather than the trees is a view worth hearing even if it had a Daniel in the lion’s den feel to it! Ireland’s seafood industry is very fragmented with 170 companies, with a majority having a turnover of less than €1 million, with many focused on the home market. Many of the companies have a low sustained profitability and a limited ambition for development. The consequence has meant that the seafood companies are not competitive on a European scale, landing less than 25% of the available catch, exporting over 80% of landings in commodity form in 2014. Only 14% of landings undergo value added processing, significantly below the EU average. In short, the Irish seafood industry is processing only 5% of the total catch in Irish waters.

In the context of global trends which include the creation of bigger companies with critical mass, lower cost production, continued technological advances, and in the certain reality that change will continue, the question is how should the Irish seafood industry respond? In other Irish food sectors there has been a reduction in the number of companies and the emergence of major global firms like APB, Ary ZTA, Dawn Meats, Glanbia, the Kerry Group, Monaghan Mushrooms and Rosderra Irish Meats. As can be seen in Graph 1, the bigger competitors have scale. There can be no doubt looking at the performance of the Irish seafood sector 2006-2014 (Graph 2), in the

middle of a massive domestic recession that it has held the line relatively well in the domestic market and expanded its exports. Compared with the beef and dairy sector (Graph 3) covering the same period, the seafood export sector

has not achieved the same level of growth. However, there are reasons to be cheerful! Ireland has the most productive fishing grounds in the EU, it also has a green status with the promotion of Origin Green and Ireland has a good food image internationally. Seafood has a positive healthy food image and expects to see an extra 40 million tonnes produces to achieve demand by 2030. There can be no question that there is an opportunity to grow and expand the Irish seafood sector. However the challenge means facing up to the competition, and survival is not compulsory. While Darwin's case for survival was adaptability not size, standing still is not an option. The need is focus not on complaining about the

current quota regime, but on exploiting existing opportunities. To develop the industry needs significant consolidation or cooperation, and to achieve critical mass and scale to be competitive. It needs an export orientated to added value, the capacity to invest in technology and innovation and the scale to exploit by producers. There are two possible ways to move forward, via voluntary sectorial clusters or sectorial champions. The voluntary sectorial cluster route means that likeminded companies come together with a shared common vision by setting

up a Newco to implement that vision. The Newco would facilitate scale in sales & marketing, purchase and procurement, process asset utilisation, NPD & innovation, brand development and elimination of duplication. Participation in a Newco can be achieved by merging together with proportionate shareholdings held by the participants, by acquisition of businesses to create scale, holding shares in a Newco simply to achieve the central and synergies without change of ownership to the existing co. These Newcos should then seek partnerships or joint ventures with both Irish and

international catching and processing interests that are compatible with the agreed vision. In the absence of companies coming together on a voluntary basis, State Agencies should enable Sectorial Champions. Such Sectorial Champions should have a solid track record, a strategy for development, a commitment to added value processing, a plan to create more employment, and an appetite for consolidation and change. Since existing State support and grants perpetuate the existing current status quo, consequently the State Agencies should; develop a strategy for the different sectors of the industry, the Irish Seafood Development Strategy. Existing supports should be reviewed and a new set of supports designed to advance the ISDS should be developed. No incentives should be provided for projects unless they are compatible with the ISDS. The ISDS purpose is to achieve the vision to transform Ireland into a North Atlantic Seafood Hub.

An Ireland with a seafood industry that would have a €2 billion total revenue by 2025, €1.7 billion of exports, 500,000 tonnes of fish processed, integrated catching to value added, critical mass and scale, investment in NPD and innovation, four major Irish seafood companies and a turnover of €150 - €200 million each supported by the Irish Strategic Investment fund. The benefits of such a transformation of the Irish Seafood sector would mean additional revenue of over €1.1 billion, 4,500 direct and 7,000 indirect jobs focused in the coastal regions and revitalise the fishing communities. It would generate extra wealth and lay the foundation for future growth. Eddie Power concluded by saying that the prize is great and achievable with focus and determination.

Eddie Power graduated from UCC with a B Eng (Hons) in Civil engineering. He is an experienced Managing Director and Chairman in the food industry with an exceptionally strong record of delivering profits and growth in both Ireland and the UK. During his career, he has been Director of Avonmore Foods plc, Glanbia plc, Managing Director of the Grampion Country Food Group and Chairman of Cranberry Foods Ltd. He is currently Managing Director of Green Isle Foods Ltd, an Executive Director of the 2 Sisters Food Group and a Non-Executive Director of A H Worth Group Ltd.

The Sea Fisheries Protection Authority: keeping Ireland’s seafood reputation safe I

reland’s seafood industry continues to flourish with new markets opening across the world, while existing markets are continuing to grow, bringing both opportunity and responsibility. Ireland’s seafood is acknowledged globally as healthy and nutritious where food safety underpins this reputation. Reducing the risk to this reputation is critical to sustaining Ireland’s success

in this sector. Food safety is achieved through best practice farm management systems; adherence to the Food Business Operators obligations and complete traceability – from accurate Shellfish Registration Documents through to validated recall procedures. The Molluscan Shellfish Safety Programme ― Ireland’s shellfish

monitoring programme ― is acknowledged as being one of the best in Europe. A key component is the Microbiological Classification of shellfish areas, which is a requirement of European food law. In Ireland, the SFPA is the Competent Authority for the classification of shellfish areas. SFPA officers, in collaboration with shellfish farmers, carry out regular sampling of areas for analysis at laboratories under the supervision of the Marine Institute (MI). Every July, the SFPA publishes the Shellfish Area Microbiological Classification, an important document that classifies shellfish production areas according to water quality in line with European food regulations. Classification impinges directly on the business of shellfish production as it has ramifications for how shellfish may be placed on the market. The shellfish monitoring

programme is a comprehensive process with many stages. Earlier this year, the SFPA in conjunction with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI); Marine Institute and BIM held a series of regional information events covering the key topics associated with ensuring compliance with the food safety requirements for shellfish. Below are the questions most frequently asked about the Shellfish Area Microbiological Classification process and other matters key to ensuring food safety:

When there are two sampling sites in a production area, which site should be used for sampling? Sampling should take place at the more representative sampling site that would generally be the site nearest to where harvesting is currently taking place. If harvesting is taking place in proximity to both sites then a sample should be taken from both sites. Why do some species and production areas appear susceptible to toxicity and prolonged closures whereas others never seem to be affected? Analysis of the biotoxin data has shown that shellfish species take up toxins at different rates. Rope-grown mussels suspended in the water column are the fastest to show toxicity while other species such as razor shells rarely, if ever, show toxicity. There is also a geographical effect with some bays in the south west and west showing toxicity earlier and at higher levels than seen elsewhere. In contrast, bottom-grown shellfish on the east coast rarely show toxicity. How does the MI ensure that industry is alerted to offshore blooms that may cause fatalities in shellfish, such as the Karenia bloom in 2012? In addition to the weekly phytoplankton monitoring programme conducted at all shellfish growing areas, the MI continuously monitors satellite imagery that shows the density and movement of blooms but not the species of phytoplankton. Offshore blooms are seen every year. Most are harmless or do not move inshore, so it is difficult to predict their

impact. The MI produces a weekly Harmful Algae Blooms Bulletin on its website under shellfish safety data. (www.marine.ie) Why is Karenia so toxic to shellfish and other marine life? Karenia is the only HAB currently found in Irish waters that causes mortalities to marine life. A species of phytoplankton, Karenia mikimotoi contains a toxin that is dangerous to fish; when it occurs in very dense blooms it causes the oxygen in the water to be depleted. Will climate change impact on HABs? Changes in climate may impact on the

Thinning and harvesting mussels

phytoplankton species found in Irish waters and their relative densities. That may be beneficial if it provides an additional source of food to shellfish or it may cause toxic effects. A recent report on climate change concluded that no clear trend related to climate change can be observed in the incidence of shellfish toxin producing HABS in British and Irish Waters (www.mccip.org.uk)

MICROBIOLOGY What is a shellfish sanitary survey? These are an evaluation of the sources of faecal contamination in or near a harvesting area, together

with an assessment of the potential impact of these sources on the microbial status of the area. They are the first step in establishing a microbiological classification and monitoring programme for production areas. Guidance on sanitary surveys is included in the SFPA Code of Practice for the Microbiological Monitoring of Shellfish Production Areas. Why would two microbiological samples taken two days apart show very different levels? The bacteria E. coli can be accumulated and then eliminated rapidly by shellfish. Intermittent contamination or localised pollution events in a shellfish production area can result in significant differences in E. coli levels in shellfish taken only days or even hours apart. It is important with microbiological contamination to have an overall picture of pollution in an area. That is why a long-term classification system is used to assess the potential for contamination in any area rather than relying solely on the latest single result or a limited set of results. What are the pathogens of concern for the shellfish industry? Controls in Europe have virtually eliminated bacterial illness associated with shellfish consumption. However the risk of virus illness remains and outbreaks continue to occur. Norovirus is the most common cause of infectious intestinal disease in the community and is the most significant public health risk associated with LBMs

SFPA and FSAI, has produced a question and answer guide on the new food labelling rules that came into effect in December 2014. The guide is available at www.BIM.ie. What are the special legal requirements in relation to the date of minimum durability for shellfish? By way of derogation from the Food Information to the Consumer Regulation, the ‘date of minimum

durability’ may be replaced by the entry ‘these animals must be alive when sold’. The SFPA is committed to working in partnership with the seafood sector in order to ensure the production of quality seafood that is safe for human consumption.

consumed raw (e.g. oysters) in Ireland. Is the EU planning to set a Norovirus standard for shellfish? The EU is currently conducting a European baseline survey of background Norovirus levels in production areas. Industry will have an opportunity to comment before any measure is adopted. What is being done to increase awareness of the importance of pollution control and the risk to shellfish production areas? The SFPA actively liaises with IFA Aquaculture; EPA; Irish Water and the Local Authorities to follow-up on results of concern for production areas, and to assess the cause with the aim of improving water quality. The main human health risk is from human sewage sources but local efforts should also be made to reduce pollution from agricultural sources.

Both learning models offer progression on the Common Awards System http://www.qqi.ie/Publicatio ns/CAS%20restatement%20 of%20policy%20and%20gui delines%20FET.pdf and BIM and GRETB encourage learners who have completed QQI L5 to avail of progression opportunities. The Minister of State at DAHG Joe McHugh T.D., at the launch said “The EU has identified Aquaculture as a priority growth area for economic development and the new QQI L5 International Certificate in Aquaculture offers Learners the opportunity to avail of

essential skills training sought by employers surveyed in the recent Marine Skills Study by the Expert Group on Future Skill Needs (EGFSN)”. BIM have provided the marine and boat handling skills and aquaculture specific training expertise while GRETB have assisted with recruitment, provided local facilities, in addition to BIM’s mobile Coastal Training Units, for general studies including Information and Communications Technology. The shared resources have facilitated cost synergies and increased participation in a more cost effective manner.

As part of a recent €241m Seafood Development Programme to 2020 there will be €29.8m made available for Aquaculture Support and Development. ‘A range of support and development measures are proposed under the programme to support the sustainable development of the sector. The measures include: improving scientific and technical knowledge; business, planning and environmental advisory services; training and networking; capital investment in sites to grow production; new farmers scheme; organic and aid for aquaculture production; stock insurance harvesting suspensions’.

PHARMAQ introduces ALPHAJECT IPN-Flavo to protect against IPN and flavobacteriosis in very small fish A

bout 16 kilometres south of Osloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gardemoen International airport lies the small town of KlĂ¸fta which is where PHARMAQ has, this year, decided to locate its brand new virus production facility. In what is the largest single investment in the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history PHARMAQ is demonstrating that not only does it maintain supreme confidence in Norwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biotechnology sector but also the value in keeping vaccine and vaccine component production â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in-houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The facility at KlĂ¸fta is only 40 kilometres from

PHARMAQâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s R&D centre and current virus production unit in Skoyen. This close proximity will allow the company to continue to rapidly innovate vaccine solutions for global aquaculture. At a time when many biotech companies are relocating or outsourcing their production to facilities in the Far East or in the EU, this move against the trend may seem somewhat imprudent. Not, however, if the value you place in your own IP and people exceeds any apparent pecuniary benefit that may accrue from a lower cost location. This is exactly the

view taken by PHARMAQ in its decision to continue virus antigen production in Norway. One recent example of this valuable cutting-edge IP has been the development and introduction of the first socalled nano-dose vaccine which was granted a provisional Marketing Authorisation in Chile in February of this year. The new product, ALPHAJECT IPN-Flavo, comes as a 25 microlitre dose (0.025ml). This means it can be safely used in much smaller fish than can existing injectable vaccines, thus affording protection against IPN and flavobacteriosis to

very small fish during the freshwater phase of their production. Preliminary use of this vaccine has provided real benefit in the Chilean industry where it is often the case that young salmonids, having been reared in hatcheries are then transferred to fresh or brackish water sites. It is following this transfer that they have hitherto faced sometimes devastating challenges from both IPNV as well as Flavobacteria. The vaccine has meant that, at least in the case of the latter, the requirement for antibiotic as a treatment has now fallen significantly.

Seaweed-fed Salmon can improve human health Dr Stefan Kraan, Scientific Director and Co-founder Ocean Harvest Technology Ltd

atty fish like salmon have long been known for their health benefits. They are one of the few major sources of the healthy Omega-3 fats in the human diet. Adequate intake of Omega 3- fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve cognition, could relieve depression and may protect against rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease and even some types of cancer. However, beneficial Omega-3 levels in farmed fish are in decline, mainly due to the increasing use of vegetable oils in fish feeds. These oils partially replace the conventional - and now scarce - fish oils, but hardly contain any Omega-3. A 2005 study still measured 3-4 g Omega-3 per 100 grams (portion size) of farmed salmon. However, the results of a study by College of Fishery Science University of Tromsø in 2012 found only 0.8-1 grams of Omega-3 per 100 grams. This is rather a steep decline compared with a decade ago, while the less desirable Omega-6 fats from plant oil have increased nine fold. Recent data from farmed Atlantic salmon in Chile also showed levels of 0.9-1.2 grams of Omega-3 per 100 grams of edible fish. Inclusion of seaweeds in the industry standard high level plant oil diets may, however, account for this loss. Commercial farms that have used Oceanfeed™ (a proprietary blend of seaweeds manufactured by

Dr Stefan Kraan of Ocean Harvest Technology Ltd inspecting several different types of algae for inclusion in fish diets to boost Omega-3 levels

Ocean Harvest Technology in Milltown, Co Galway) in the diet have found, on average, an Omega-3 fatty acid level of 4.2 grams/100 grams, a factor of three to four times higher than the current standard farmed Atlantic salmon with high levels of plant oils in the diet or, for that matter, even wild salmon. The most well studied and established effect Omega-3

fatty acids is their prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It has been found that 250 milligrams per day of Omega 3 as part of the normal diet can prevent 7,125 cases of stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiac death per 100,000 people. Now that Omega-3 levels in farmed fish are decreasing, it gets even harder for the general population to achieve this

level of intake. So far, it looks like seaweed is capable of accounting for the loss of these beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids in farmed salmon, and can raise Omega-3 even in vegetable oil- fed salmon to a level higher than fish oil alone could do. Therefore, inclusion of seaweed into salmon feeds may well improve human health.

Focus on Seafood: Northern Ireland Dr Lynn Gilmore, Seafish Northern Ireland Seafish work across the seafood supply chain in Northern Ireland with fishermen, processors, aquaculture producers and retailers. Our mission is to support a profitable, sustainable and socially responsible future for the seafood industry. One of our current initiatives has been to develop a series of case studies on key seafood businesses in Northern Ireland and to date fourteen have been developed. The idea has been to create a suite of tools to allow the industry to promote their businesses and the quality of seafood from across Northern Ireland. A cookery booklet featuring a series of recipes provided by fishing families as well as a series of mini films, available on the Seafish YouTube channel, are other examples. This article features three local seafood businesses at the heart of the Northern Irish seafood industry.

Kilkeel Seafoods Kilkeel Seafoods have two factories in Kilkeel Co. Down and ongoing investment in state-of-the-art equipment, infrastructure and facilities demonstrate the company’s commitment to the Northern Irish seafood industry and confidence in the future. Kilkeel Seafoods are passionate about ensuring sustainability of Nephrops, the species used to make their delicious scampi. Nephrops are commercially the most important species to the UK fishing industry. Kilkeel Seafoods work with fishermen, scientists and organisations such as Seafish and the Marine Conservation Society to ensure the best information is made available to policy makers to ensure a sustainable and profitable Nephrops fishery for future generations and long term sustainability of their business and the fishing boats which rely on Kilkeel Seafoods. What is scampi?! Believe it or not, “what is scampi?” is the second most popular question on Google! Scampi is battered or breaded langoustine tail.

The scientific name for langoustine is Nephrops norvegicus and they are also known as a Norway lobster or a Dublin Bay Prawn. Almost every langoustine used in Kilikeel Seafoods scampi is caught by fishing boats working in British and Irish waters. Kilkeel Seafoods scampi can be found is a variety of outlets from Asda, Tesco and Sainsburys to leading pubs and restaurants pubs and restaurants such as Punch, JD Weatherspoons.

The membership, who are largely based in the fishing ports of Annalong, Ardglass, Kilkeel and Portavogie on the Co. Down coast are supported by nine Sea Source employees who ensure the needs of members are met. Sea Source members harvest a range of top quality seafood from the waters around the UK and Ireland ranging from mackerel, herring and other oily fish landed by a couple of the largest flagship vessels of the Northern Irish fleet; through lobster and crab from small inshore potting vessels; to langoustines or Dublin Bay Prawns, the mainstay catch of the Northern Irish fishing industry which is landed alongside a range of whitefish including cod and haddock by trawlers based in Co. Down’s fishing ports. Sea Source has a diverse remit from managing quota on behalf of members to fish sales, fish processing, fishermen’s training, assisting members in accessing grant aid and providing fishermen with alternative revenue streams through

servicing the offshore oil and gas industries. Sea Source is also a constituent organisation within the UK’s National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations (NFFO).

Rooney Fish Rooney Fish is a family-run business, founded in 1975 that specialises in processing the best quality shellfish the Irish Sea can supply. Rosemary and John Rooney founded the business back then and were joined by their son Andrew over 20 years ago. This year the family and their staff celebrate 40 years in the seafood industry. Their motto states what Rooney Fish is all about: “Capturing the flavour of nature’s fresh harvest from the Irish Sea”. The factory is a state-of-the-art facility, adjacent to Kilkeel harbour. The factory’s enviable position ensures the catch is processed within hours of being landed, ensuring top quality, fresh seafood for onward distribution around the world to loyal customers in Spain, France and Italy as well as further afield in China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan. In the fishing industry you can never rest on your laurels though! Rosemary, John and Andrew have recently diversified into a new oyster farming venture in Carlingford Lough. This is a particularly exciting development and one borne out of a lack of raw material for processing. So far, the burden of red tape has been laborious in getting this venture off the ground but it’s all systems go and oysters are being grown in the traditional method in bags attached to trestles on the lower shoreline of Carlingford Lough. Always committed to their staff and providing them with the

AquaTT - proven expertise in accessing support funding for European aquaculture, fisheries and sea food research projects Trevor Purtill, Communications Manager, AquaTT

reland has a strong track record in accessing EC funding to support projects in the aquaculture, fisheries, and seafood sectors. AquaTT, a Dublin-based SME, has been particularly active in designing and managing large-scale research and support projects for several years. Under the most recent funding programme, Horizon 2020, AquaTT has secured several projects that aim to support innovation and progress in these sectors. The most notable project is COLUMBUS, a €4m Blue Growth project designed to ensure that outputs arising from publicly-funded marine research projects have positive societal benefit. The project was designed and written by AquaTT, is coordinated by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), and features SmartBay Ireland as a key partner. “COLUMBUS is very much at the forefront of the Blue Growth agenda, as its overarching objective is to ensure that applicable knowledge generated through EC-funded science and technology research can be transferred effectively to advance the governance of the marine and maritime sectors while improving competitiveness of European companies and unlocking the potential of the oceans to create future jobs and economic growth in Europe,” explains Cliona NÍ Cheallacháin, a Senior Project Manager with AquaTT, responsible for the management of COLUMBUS.

Cliona NÍ Cheallacháin, an AquaTT Senior Project Manager with responsibility for the management of the COLUMBUS project

“The project will establish a ‘Knowledge Fellowship’, a network of nine full-time Knowledge Transfer fellows, whose role will be to carry out Knowledge Transfer for nine specific nodes, including an Aquaculture-specific node. The other nodes focus on: Fisheries; Monitoring & Observation; Marine Biological Resources; Maritime Transport & Logistics; Marine Physical Resources; Maritime Tourism; Marine Governance & Management; and Marine Environment & Futures,” NÍ Cheallacháin explains. “The strong Irish presence in the conceptualisation, implementation, and leadership of such a significant project as COLUMBUS indicates that Ireland is very much to the fore in current marine and maritime thinking. COLUMBUS is a high profile project with much expected

from it,” according to David Murphy, AquaTT General Manager, and Strategic and Operational Leader for COLUMBUS. “All the partners have an opportunity to deliver a project that could positively alter the European research landscape by piloting, promoting, and positioning knowledge transfer as a key component of all publicly-funded research,” he adds. European aquaculture AquaTT is also a key partner in the ParaFishControl project, which aims to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of the European Aquaculture industry by improving our understanding of fishparasite interactions and by developing innovative solutions and tools for the prevention, control and mitigation of the major parasitic pathogens affecting

the main European farmed fish species: Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, common carp, turbot, European sea bass, and gilthead sea bream. The project will address the most harmful parasitic species affecting either one or more of these six fish hosts. These parasites belong to nine different groups: crustaceans, monogeneans, myxozoans, microsporidians, cilliates, dinoflagellates, amoebae, oomycetes, and zoonotic helminthes. Additionally, AquaTT will be a partner in the forthcoming AQUAEXCEL2020 project, a continuation and evolution of the original AQUAEXCEL project. AQUAEXCEL2020 aims to integrate top class European aquaculture research facilities of very diverse natures, covering all relevant scientific fields for research and innovation in aquaculture, from genetics to technology through pathology, physiology and nutrition. It will put in place a user-friendly one-stop access to high-quality services and resources from 39 installations covering both established and new aquaculture species, all types of experimental systems as well as sequencing facilities. To learn more about AquaTT and the projects discussed above, please visit www.aquatt.ie or contact cliona@aquatt.ie.

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

Art Kavanagh QFA, Marine Finance Consultant I

n the past year I have been involved in a number of discussions with groups with the potential and the desire to invest in the Irish Seafood Sector. They are made up of individuals inside and outside the country who recognise the potential for the Irish Seafood Sector in the World Marketplace. The prospect of Investment from willing Investors is exciting in a scenario where the Irish Banking Sector is still to be convinced that the Aquaculture industry is worth pursuing. Initially the problem of sourcing bank finance stemmed from a perceived lack of security because of the view that the Aquaculture Licence could not be assigned as security. In the past few years we did get Ministerial confirmation that there is no legal reason why the Aquaculture Licence could not be assigned and through the good offices of a large Corporate Law Firm we established that a form of Documentation could be conjured up to create the charge in favour of a lender. This is all good news on the face of things….BUT! There is still a measure of uncertainty surrounding Aquaculture Licensing in Ireland which scares the living daylights out of investors and lenders because of delays in granting new licences and renewing existing ones. The length of the Licences and the frequency with which they must be renewed also creates an uncertainty which prevents Irish bankers from throwing themselves wholeheartly into the sector as they should want to - and prevents outside investors

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

Art Kavanagh QFA, Marine Finance Consultant

from supporting aquaculture projects as they really want to because they see the potential. The ruling by Justice John Blaney of the Supreme Court in 1996 that Fishing Capacity was deemed an intrinsic part of a Marine Mortgage and therefore formed part of the security held by a lender was a game changer in the financing of the Irish fleet by Irish Banks. Some similar declaration would certainly improve the prospects of the aquaculture sector here being properly and willingly funded . The Irish Government recognises the potential of the sector because we regularly have presentations from the Minister trumpeting the positives about the seafood sector. The 2020 Food Harvest Plan calls for a very significant increase in aquaculture output from Ireland if the targets set down in that programme are to be achieved. There are obviously rules governing the aquaculture licensing system in Ireland which are stricter than our nearest neighbour

and competitor in Scotland and we are quite entitled to impose those rules. In doing so however we must recognise that they disadvantage the sector and make it more difficult for it to function. Our established fish farmers are unable to plan for the future as any attempt to increase production can be very difficult. If these Rules make us uncompetitive can we not change them ? Our Minister is part of a Government with the largest working majority in recent memory so they can make any changes they want to the laws governing aquaculture licensing. So why not do it? After all he is in charge – isn’t he ? Someone is calling the shots here and the shots are hindering the growth of what is potentially a huge earner for the State. There are opportunities in the growing sector and also opportunities in the processing sector as the reputation of Irish seafood has significantly improved in recent years. I am in touch with a number of

Investors interested in delivering much needed Capital into Ireland. I also have the ear of the banking sector who will certainly take more interest if we can put the licensing system here on a footing which affords long term rights to the licence holders without the threat of difficulty in renewing or extending licensed sites. At the moment I cannot deal with realistic enquiries and hope that some sense of reality and national responsibility will be brought to bear before these opportunities are lost. If we are really as interested as we claim to be in developing Aquaculture let’s make rules that allow it to function respecting the right of Investors to choose to go elsewhere if our rules are too restrictive - as they currently are. If we are not sufficiently interested to make Ireland attractive as an aquaculture location- lets do the decent thing and say it and stop claiming that aquaculture is part of the Great Recovery and the 2020 Food Harvest Programme.How can we discuss strategies if we do not have the systems to back them up? There is a credibility issue here. There is so much to gain here at no financial cost to the State. The Investors are there if we are prepared to allow them to call at least some of the shots or at least feel that there is some security surrounding their Investments. As things stand we are saying we want their money but on our terms. I would not presume to advise the Department responsible on what they should or should not do , nor do I speak for the industry. I am merely pointing out the difficulties faced by potential investors or lenders who can introduce capital into the industry. Perhaps they have already started to upgrade the system- and if they have – fair dues to them !

Marine Harvest leading the way in Irish aquaculture T

he last 12 months have been an exciting period for Marine Harvest as the world’s leading seafood company and largest producer of farmed salmon. This is particularly reflected in Ireland where the country’s reputation for organic farmed salmon has continued to grow dramatically as demand increases for Irish product and Government strategy points consistently to the ocean as a key factor in economic recovery through sustainable export potential. Marine Harvest has a significant presence in Ireland with nine sites in operation dotted along the

Western seaboard. The company, which has its origins in Norway, has operations in 22 countries and employs approximately 10,000 people. 86% of the fish produced by the company in Ireland are exported throughout the EU as well as the USA’s East Coast. The company generates total sales of €65M annually from its Irish operations. It is our company policy to source goods and services from the Irish communities in which we are based. Marine Harvest Ireland (MHI) has approximately 800 local suppliers across its coastal locations with an annual

spend worth in excess of €15M to these local economies. In addition, we spend some €10M annually on wages and salaries in Ireland.

WWF ASSURANCE MARK In March 2015, we were delighted to become the first company in Ireland to achieve a prestigious international quality assurance mark from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The WWF, recognised all over the world by its Panda logo, selected a Marine Harvest Ireland site at Deenish Island in Ballinskelligs Bay in Kerry.

This is a great endorsement of the MHI brand and the high standards which we consistently aspire to and succeed, in reaching. This particular accreditation comes from an organisation with the credibility, status and profile of the WWF which is recognised globally as a benchmark in building a future where human needs are met in harmony with nature. “The awarding of the ASC standard is an important independent recognition of our efforts to produce food sustainably,” Catherine McManus, technical manager, MHI, told Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland. “It enhances our reputation with all of our stakeholders, which includes customers, suppliers, staff and wider society.” According to Catherine sustainability must be embraced by any business

reliant on natural resources: “We consider long-term investment in sustainability and the environment is the only way forward. With this commitment, MHI is showing how environmental sustainability is a precondition for economic sustainability, and that it takes global leadership to minimise its impact on the environment. Our overarching objective is to be the industry leader in sustainable salmon-farming practices. We strive to minimise our impact on the environment and to operate in a responsible manner towards society at local, national and international levels.” Among other criteria, the ASC salmon standard recognises our work in the conservation of natural habitat, local biodiversity and ecosystem function, and its use of resources in an environmentally responsible manner. We are a verified member of the Origin Green programme. “Verified membership of the Origin

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

Green programme further enhances our profile as a sustainable food producer and, more importantly, an Irish aquaculture producer,” said Catherine. “One of our key targets under the Origin Green programme is to have all of our farms ASC certified. No other food producing country has a national programme like this, particularly one which includes food production on land and sea. Since more than 85 per cent of our fish is exported, this programme enhances the image of Ireland as a sustainable food-producing nation, which is important for our international markets.” Our ambition is to have ASC certification for all of its farms by 2018.

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION Marine Harvest Ireland was of course the first salmon farm in the world to achieve organic certification. We now produce organic salmon and premium salmon under the names

‘The Irish Organic Salmon Co’ and ‘Donegal Silver’ respectively. As well as in Fanad, we produce Organic Atlantic salmon at Inver in Donegal Bay, at Clare Island in Clew Bay, Co. Mayo and in Bantry and Kenmare Bays, in counties Cork and Kerry. While MHI operations in Ireland contribute over €15million to the domestic economy, perhaps even more significantly, we have a €22million investment earmarked for Ireland over the next five years, subject to new licences and renewals and improvements of existing ones. This alone, could create a further 250 direct jobs. The single biggest issue MHI faces today is that we cannot meet the demand for our product. To put this in perspective, the Scottish salmon farming sector contributed €1bn to the Scottish exchequer in 2013. That equals Ireland’s total seafood targets for 2020. In Scotland, licensing approval takes approximately 22 months compared to a process which takes more than five

years here. The Irish Government has identified and set specific targets with regard to our seas. It wants to make our ocean wealth a key component of our economic recovery and sustainable growth, generating benefits for all our citizens. In the Government’s July 2012 report entitled, “Harvesting our Ocean Wealth”, it states “There is significant scope to expand Ireland’s aquaculture industry, with increases expected from both conventional aquaculture and a new deep sea salmon farming initiative, amounting to a 78% increase in volume of production by 2020.” It also sets the target of increasing the turnover of our ocean economy to exceed €6.4billion by 2020, subsequently doubling to represent 2.4% of GDP by 2030. We look forward to playing our part in the attainment of those achievable targets. MHI is encouraged by the health of the sector in Ireland on the back of a very successful last 12 months. MHI has been producing the finest quality Irish Salmon in Ireland since 1979 when Fanad Fisheries in North Donegal was founded by a group of Irish shareholders. In 1981, a 50/50 joint venture was established with A/S MOWI based in Bergen, Norway, and this greatly strengthened the Irish operation as it provided access to stock, technology and financial resources. The company has located its Irish headquarters in Fanad and it creates jobs predominantly in areas where other employment opportunities are limited.

Údarás na Gaeltachta continues to support marine-based enterprises in the Gaeltacht Siubhán Nic Grianna*, Údarás na Gaeltachta Ú

darás na Gaeltachta has long recognised marinebased sectors as having major potential for development and employment in the Gaeltacht. The Gaeltacht coastline stretches over 2,500km along the western seaboard, taking in counties Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry and Waterford. Together with the six Gaeltacht islands, almost 25% of the Irish coastline is in the Gaeltacht. The coastal positioning of the Gaeltacht places it in a natural position to develop marine related enterprises – aquaculture, fish and seaweed processing, as well as food, tourism and energy related projects. Údarás’ role is to support the creation of strong innovative enterprises which have the capacity to contribute to job creation in the Gaeltacht. Marine-based enterprises are important in terms of wealth-creation and employment generation and most especially because

businesses that rely on a local natural resource like the sea are more likely to remain in the region. With support from Údarás na Gaeltachta, a number of new and innovative companies that use marine resources and seaplants in the production of food products have come to the fore in the Gaeltacht. Fiontar Bia Chonamara or Connemara Food Ventures is a food ingredients company, specialising in bio-active and wellness products. The company has developed two products using Inagh Valley organic seaweed as the key ingredient. The smRt bar, is a gluten free, dairy free energy bar which has already been well-received in market tests, especially by tri-athletes and fitness enthusiasts, and NORI Bake is an easy to use 100% natural food ingredient to improve the nutritional value and texture of all baked goods. The company is headed up

by James Cunningham and his wife Deirdre Keaney, a nutritionist. The company’s Scientific Director Dr. Stefan Kraan is well-known for his work on functional food and the high-value applications of marine algae. Over the past 25 years Stefan’s innovations in seaweeds have earned him

international acclaim. With two products already developed this company is now planning their next phase of business development.

Achill Island Sea Salt is supplying the food sector with natural salt handharvested from the pristine wild Atlantic waters around Achill. The tradition of seasalt production is being revived by the O’Malleys in Achill. Kieran, Marjorie and Seán were inspired by a documentary on sea salt and a local history book which referred to salt production on the island and decided to start Achill Sea Salt. “We started off with buckets and pots in our kitchen” says Marjorie. They have since moved from their kitchen and now use a bowser to collect water which is evaporated in high-

grade vessels until the salt crystals form. It is artisan, sustainable and simple, but very labour-intensive. There has been a very good reaction from chefs and cooks to the appearance, texture and taste of the salt since production started. This young company will shortly move into an Údarás na Gaeltachta production unit in Bun an Churraigh, Acaill, a move which will enable them to increase their production capacity and ensure that they can fulfil the growing demand for salt product. Tropical coral reefs are under severe pressure from unsustainable harvesting and there are international moves by the Marine Aquarium Council and the Convention on International Trade for Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna to try to stem these practices. Koralsea, a small company located in the Inagh Valley in Connemara, Co. Galway , has established a commercial coral farm growing hard coral and also some high-demand reef species of fish such as clown fish. Koralsea is addressing the market-led opportunity for branded, ethicallyproduced live coral and other validated consumable goods. The company was established by Simon Kilroy

and is operating from the old hatchery in Lough Inagh, Co. Galway. Currently employing 4 people, the company hopes to increase their sales and employment over the next few years. Údarás na Gaeltachta is keen to stimulate and support Gaeltacht-based start-ups and established enterprises wishing to create added-value products utilising marine resources in other sectors such as food, biomedical, cosmetics and nutraceuticals. If you have a business idea, involving an innovative product based on marine resources, and are located or interested in locating in the Gaeltacht, contact Údarás for information in relation to the financial incentives and supports available to get your business off the ground. Údarás can also help with requirements in relation to enterprise facilities. It has a wide choice of premises available - including enterprise units, office accommodation, factories, and business incubation units located in modern business and industrial parks throughout the Gaeltacht.

Gem Plastics was founded in 1988 in Cavan, Ireland as a division of the lubricants distribution company Gem Oils, which was established in 1962. Since then, Gem Plastics has developed and expanded its range of blow moulded HDPE Drums, Jerricans, associated services and customer portfolio, supplying fillers - mainly those in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food and beverage industries - throughout the British Isles, including some of the world’s leading multi-national players in these sectors. The vast majority of Gem’s containers have UN packaging performance certificates, approved for the international Transport of Dangerous Goods. Additionally, they are made in conformance with ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 for packaging suppliers within the food supply chain. Gem Plastics remains a family owned company with inherent traditional values centered on upholding the highest standards in everything it does. The business is led by an experienced management team who, along with a loyal and dedicated workforce, places customer’s needs at the forefront of its everyday activities. Equally, it maintains an avid R&D focus in key areas such as raw materials, processes, products and customer service. MUSSEL FLOAT Alongside its mainstream industrial packaging activities, Gem Plastics manufactures other blow moulded articles for industrial and consumer applications. Prominent amongst these items, is its innovative Mussel Float that was developed in collaboration with the Irish Mussel Farmers and Bord lascaigh Mhara - The Irish Fisheries Board, for use in the cultivation and harvesting of mussels. Its novel and useful functionality resulted in Gem being granted a full European patent for the product in 2008. The float is made in three sizes by the extrusion blow moulding process, using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) giving it strength and guaranteeing a long working life. Coloured ‘Battleship Grey’ helps it blend in caringly with its natural surrounding environment. All the materials used in the manufacture of the float have been authorised for use contact with foodstuffs. MUSSEL FLOAT The Gem Mussel Float was designed with the purpose of playing a pivotal role in the cultivation of mussel spat on ropes suspended from twin anchorage points on the float, positioned top and bottom. A special valve is fitted to allow air pressurisation before and during use. This feature ensures that both shape and buoyancy are preserved in all marine conditions. Compared to the method of dredging mussels from the seabed, the Gem float offers a number of distinct advantages. ADVANTAGES OF GEM FLOATS • 3 different Types (300 Litre,200 litre ,100litre Sub-merged) • High strength handles for optimum usage. • Manufactured from 100% Virgin polyethylene. • Non-Toxic. • High Performance floats for all types of inshore & offshore farming conditions. • Long operational life with no maintenance. • Easy clean surface. • Special valve fitted to allow air pressurisation before and during use. • Excellent value on return of capital. • Stackable easy to handle

Bord Bia expanding the reach of Irish seafood exports

Karen Devereux, Bord Bia

ord Bia continues to broaden and tailor its seafood export programme to assist Irish seafood companies to capitalise on the growing demand for premium, quality assured seafood in emerging seafood markets in the Asia Pacific and other non EU markets. In 2014, Irish seafood exports delivered a solid performance with values increasing by 7% for the year to reach €533million. Ireland exports seafood to 80 markets worldwide. The top five export markets for Irish seafood products are France, the UK, Spain, Nigeria and Italy. These 4 EU markets, plus Germany, continue to dominate seafood exports, accounting for 55% of export values. However, this compares to a 58% in 2013 and demonstrates the on-going focus of the leading Irish seafood exporters in the development of new business in emerging markets to offset some price resistance in core European

Michael Carey, Chairman of Bord Bia (left) with Simon Coveney, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine at the Marketplace International event held in Dublin’s Exhibition Centre in March. It was Bord Bia’s largest ever exhibition, attracting 450 buyers - 300 from overseas - and more than 160 food and drinks companies

markets. In 2014, the biggest growth was witnessed in international markets, which grew by around 20% in value to €185 million. Notable growth was seen in African markets, such as Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt, as well as in Asia, particularly in China, Hong

Kong and South Korea. Exports to the three main markets in Africa – Nigeria, Cameroon and Egypt accounted for 18% of total seafood export values. Meanwhile, Asia reached approximately €50 million, led by China, where Irish seafood exports increased by 45% in 2014. Exports to

Hong Kong grew by 58% during the same period, while South Korea experienced a growth in value of over 10%. Economic development in both Africa and Asia has been key to the increased demand for quality, safe protein in these markets. Bord Bia predicts that this will continue into the future, with the middle class predicted to expand in both regions and GDP per capita projected to be the highest in Asia and Africa compared to other geographical zones over the next decade. As the Irish state agency responsible for promoting sales of Irish food and horticulture in Ireland and abroad, Bord Bia is working to support that international expansion, which is reflected in many of the key food and drink export categories. In March 2015, Bord Bia welcomed over 500 buyers

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

to Marketplace International in Dublin. This included more than 200 buyers from outside Europe who participated in the extended visit over four days. During that time, 45 international seafood buyers participated in 3 separate seafood specific itineraries, meeting primary producers and seafood processors in their area of interest. This was followed by one-to-one meetings at the Marketplace International event itself. Since 2011, Bord Bia has coordinated an Irish Seafood Pavilion at the China Fisheries Show which takes place annually in November. This is the second largest seafood trade show globally with an estimated 25,000 visitors from 100 nations attending. The presence of Irish companies on the Bord Bia stand has steadily increased since 2011 and this November, a record number of 16 of Ireland’s leading seafood processors will exhibit under the Origin Green banner. Bord Bia’s trade development programme has been very successful in encouraging high end retail and foodservice Chinese customers to visit Ireland to meet with Irish seafood processors on a one-to-one basis. These itineraries have been very effective in generating new business for the sector, providing Irish companies with an excellent opportunity to showcase their processing facilities and also allowing the customers to see first hand the excellent envirnonment in which Irish seafood is produced. These visits are very effective in providing a guarantee to Chinese customers on traceability, sustainability and food safety - all key issues of growing concern to the Chinese middle class consumer. During the last 4

Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland

years, Bord Bia has welcomed more than 50 Asian customers to Ireland on customised itineraries which has directly led to firm orders being secured by Irish seafood processors with customers in this region. Bord Bia has also launched a series of trade awareness events in Beijing and Shanghai running from March to September 2015. To increase exports of premium seafood from Ireland, Bord Bia is concentrating its promotional efforts on building awareness about new species from Ireland such as brown crab and Irish prawns. Targeting premium chefs and media, Bord Bia is coordinating a series of cookery demonstrations, focusing on introducing recipes for these species that are new to the Chinese market. The objective of this campaign is to build awareness about quality Irish shellfish with key opinion formers such as high-end chefs and media in Beijing and Shanghai. This campaign should assist the Irish processing sector in selling their range to distributors servicing the premium restaurants and hotels in these cities. Educating Chinese consumers will be assisted through a targeted programme of in-store tastings in a number of

supermarket retail chains throughout 2015 which will be supported by Bord Bia produced point-of-sale material such as recipe leaflets, promotional videos etc. Outside of the Chinese market, Bord Bia is also working closely with the Irish seafood industry to increase seafood exports in other growing seafood markets in the Asian region such as South Korea. In March 2015, Bord Bia supported an Irish food and drink promotion in the very high-end ‘Hyundai’ retail store group, mainly focused on their affluent stores in Seoul. A range of Irish premium seafood products were promoted to Korean consumers during this event including Irish organic salmon, live lobster, live brown crab and a range of ready-to-cook seafood ready meals. Further research and trade develepment links will be fostered in June when Bord Bia will lead a week long market study visit to South Korea during which 6 Irish seafood processors will participate. This event will give Irish companies valuable insights into this seafood market, which has the highest per capita seafood consumption globally, and an opportunity for one-to-one meetings with some of the leading importers, distributors and retail customers in this

market. Bord Bia is also undertaking trade research in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Taiwan in the second half of 2015 to identify new trade customers for the Irish pelagic and shellfish sectors. As the demand for premium seafood in Asia continues to grow and consumption of aquatic products continues to outpace growth in production of such products, Ireland is well placed to capitalise on the growing opportunity for Irish seafood in this region. Bord Bia’s focus in 2015 will be to continue on building exports reflecting Food Harvest 2020’s export target of €650mn for the seafood sector. This increase in exports will be achieved through greater penetration of sales into premium niche markets in Asia, the US and the Middle East along with a higher value positioning for key species in the traditional markets of France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK. In 2015, it will be important for the sector to continue to develop new markets outside of the traditional markets in Europe. Bord Bia will also work closely with the sector to grow awareness of species such as boarfish, oysters, brown crab and prawns in a number of these markets, notably in China and Hong Kong.

The Marine Institute: ensuring Shellfish Safety T

he Marine Institute is the National Reference Laboratory for viral and bacterial contamination in bivalve shellfish, and Marine Biotoxins in Shellfish. The control of these contaminants in shellfish is essential in the development of the shellfish industry in Ireland, and ensuring the quality and safety of produce going on the market. All methods conducted at the Marine Institute are in compliance with, and are fully accredited to the ISO 17025 quality standard. In 2014 the Marine Institute provided advice to ensure the quality of E. coli analysis in national laboratories involved in testing for shellfish samples for classification of harvest areas. This work is critical to establishing accurate classification of harvest areas which impact on industry competitiveness and consumer safety alike. The Institute works closely with the SFPA, FSAI and the shellfish industry to carry out comprehensive monitoring programmes for microbiological hazards, which also includes testing of shellfish for norovirus, which can cause a gastroenteritis type illness in consumers of contaminated shellfish. Apart from microbiological hazards, shellfish can also be contaminated by naturally occurring toxic marine micro-algal species which may accumulate within the tissues of marine bivalves, echinoderms and gastropods. At high toxin

concentrations, these shellfish, if consumed, can result in human illness. The Marine Institute works closely with the SFPA, FSAI and the shellfish industry to carry out comprehensive monitoring programmes to detect biotoxin producing micro-algae in water and to detect biotoxins in shellfish. Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) events in Ireland in 2014 were limited to the occurrence of three shellfish poison types detected in the course of the national monitoring programme. Unusually, there were no detections of ASP in rope mussels in the Spring/early Summer, and the usual late Summer Azaspiracid event was much earlier in May/June followed by a protracted DSP event that lasted from July through to the end of the year. This event extended into 2015 and finally cleared

during the month of February, coinciding with the establishment of increased diatom presence in early Spring. No other HAB events were reported other than a short-lived Phaeocystis bloom in early summer along the east coast which was harmless other than resulting in discoloured water and a small amount of foaming on certain shorelines. No fish killing blooms were reported in 2014. Mandatory sampling of phytoplankton was enforced at the end of summer 2014 resulting in an increase from an average submission of 30 weekly samples to over 70 samples per week from shellfish production areas. These samples are essential to provide

information on the causative organisms that result in shellfish toxicity. They are vital for triggering appropriate testing of shellfish samples. The production of weekly shellfish forecasting reports also depend on these phytoplankton samples, along with shellfish analysis, satellite images and modelled output of water movements along the coast that deliver toxic blooms into production areas. See www.marine.ie/habs for latest shellfish status and forecast reports.

JFC Marine - making waves in the marine industry! Karen Coss* W

ith over 27 years’ experience in the plastic moulding industry, JFC specialises in providing quality rotationally moulded plastic products. We offer a complete range of Mussel Floats, Navigation Buoys, Navigation Beacons, monitoring and control systems to suit all marine applications. JFC is delighted to introduce the launch of the MF330 Mussel Float - a new blow moulded manufactured mussel float. This superior performance mussel float is designed and manufactured for the most demanding conditions. Ideal for inshore and offshore locations, they are proven in the most exposed conditions of the Atlantic Ocean, and can significantly improve the profitability of mussel

farming enterprises. The float has been specifically designed to withstand the pressures of high waves and sit steadily on the water, even when loaded with a full crop of mussels. The patented stability fin of the JFC mussel floats ensures that JFC floats have a low profile in the water, causing limited vertical motion and reduced stress on the mussels. Consequently, this “reduced stress” on the mussels means that they can concentrate on growing as opposed to expending their energy on trying to remain attached to the rope during turbulent conditions.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE The design ensures that the mussel holding lines do not

brush “up and down” so preventing the crop from falling back into the sea. The end result is that mussels grown using JFC mussel floats, grow larger, have a higher meat quality, and are much less susceptible to losses. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer. JFC mussel floats have the potential to substantially boost the profitability of the rope-mussel industry whilst simultaneously reducing the number of mussel floats required per site.

NEW WEBSITE JFC Marine is also delighted to announce the launch of our new website www.jfcmarine.com. We provide a range of marine

product solutions to serve the Aquaculture, Marine Aids to Navigation, and Leisure Marine sectors. We now supply a range of products to the Aquaculture sector including Abalone Trays, Shrimp Graders and Storage Tanks.

Two centuries of innovation and change – key to success at net maker W & J Knox Ltd

&J Knox has been wellknown as a netmaker for many years, initially making trawls for traditional fishing then moving into knotless nets for aquaculture. The company has been based in the same small town of Kilbirnie in south-western Scotland since 1778 and believes that it’s the fact it has continually moved on and embraced new markets and products it is still in existence and thriving after more than two centuries. Managing Director, Jim Traynor, who has been with the company since the late 1970s spearheaded the MBO that bought the company from Cosalt plc in 2004. “Netting has always been the mainstay at Knox,” he says. “The original family business made nets by hand from natural fibres, then by machine, and then synthetic

fibres were introduced. We stopped producing trawls over forty years ago as we were becoming more involved in aquaculture, and began exporting worldwide as the fish farming industry took off.” It was W&J Knox’s growing involvement with aquaculture that led the company to purchase the workboat, Felsted, in order to complement both net manufacture and on-site service. Felsted operates with a 3-man team, managed by Dave Hutchens, and works throughout Scotland and Ireland, laying moorings for fish farm sites, changing nets as well as offering towage and dry cargo deliveries. The boat will be back in Ireland in the autumn at Glenarm, to work on moorings. Knotless nylon netting has been utilised for cage nets in

fish farming since from the start, but the last couple of years have seen a major change. Although nylon is still the first choice of many fish farmers, W&J Knox is now in partnership with Indian company, GarwareWall Ropes Ltd (GWRL), which has been active in developing new netting products for use in marine pens and to provide antipredator solutions. Star netting from GWRL was introduced to the market two years ago, specifically designed with the concept of “Eco Farming” in mind. As more fish farmers opt to reduce the use of copper-based antifouling products and choose to wash their nets in situ, they require stronger netting that also offers superior resistance to abrasion. Finlay Oman, Knox

Technical Sales Director, has seen encouraging results with the product after supplying cage nets constructed from Star netting to all of the leading salmon farming companies in the UK. “Star netting is the answer to the challenges of the high pressure washer. The smoother surface of this netting makes the cleaning process much easier, with algae and other fouling struggling to establish an anchor point,” he says. Another netting development from GWRL is Sapphire SealPro, a singlesided knotted HDPE with a polymer core. This is often incorporated as an antipredator base on nets made from Star. Initial reviews of this product indicate that the entire net maintains its shape very well in use and also withstands the rigours of high pressure washing. In addition to the manufacture of new nets, W&J Knox offers a complete back-up service by a dedicated team from its Scottish base. In addition to straightforward checking and repairs, nets can also be returned for complete renovation. During this process test detailed results are recorded on a comprehensive database, thus building up a full net history to which the customer is given full access to online. Continued innovation and a willingness to embrace change should see netmaking continuing at W&J Knox of Kilbirnie for another 237 years. For more details please contact Finlay Oman or Dave Hutchens.

Aquaculture UK continues to grow A

quaculture UK is the major aquaculture event in the British Isles. Bookings opened for the 2016 event at the beginning of March and already 65% of the space has gone. This response shows the level of exhibitor confidence in this show. The organisers have listened to feedback from exhibitors and visitors, and have improved the event by increasing exhibition space by 20%. In addition, an adjacent outdoor display is being set up, with ample room for visitors to walk around the equipment & vessels on display. In 2014 over 110 companies exhibited and more than a thousand visitors came. The organisers expect these figures to be exceeded in

2016. Over 26 nationalities attended -demonstrating the international standing of the event. A scientific conference is organised in parallel with the trade fair and Novartis is once again sponsoring the Young Scientist Competition on the first day. The winner receives an

expenses paid trip to Novartis’ research centre in Canada. Work is now in hand to gather a team of international speakers for Day 2 of the conference Jorgin Gunnarsson of Liftup, one of the world´s leading suppliers of mort extraction systems for fish farms, said: “The UK and

Ireland are very important markets for our company, and Aquaculture UK gives us an excellent opportunity to meet our customers. The venue is centrally located, professionally organized, and well visited. We especially value the opportunity to meet on location so many of the people who order our systems and also the people on the farms who use them. Lift Up has, over the years, exhibited at shows in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, but the Aviemore location is by far the best!" The organisers promise an enhanced and memorable experience for exhibitors and visitors at Aquaculture UK 2016, which takes place on 25th and 26th May 2016 in Aviemore, in the Scottish Highlands.

Organic Aquaculture Certification with the Organic Trust Fergal Guilfoyle*

rganic aquaculture is one of the fastest growing sectors of organic production worldwide. This market continues to expand in all sectors, and Ireland is fast gaining an international reputation for producing Organic Seafood. 83% of all Irish farmed salmon exports and over 50% of Ireland’s mussel production is certified as Organic. Irelands image as a green, unspoilt and wild place is perfectly in tune with the image that consumers demand of Organic products. The three main sectors of the Irish Aquaculture Industry which are converting to organic production are the farmed salmon sector, the mussel sector (both rope and bottom grown) and also the seaweed sector. There is the possibility within the EU Organic Standard to certify Organic oyster production, but there is currently no Irish operation certified as Organic. There may be an opportunity here. At a recent international conference on the seaweed industry, a leading expert in the marketing of seaweed products in Europe put it simply: “do not even attempt

to enter this market unless you are certified as Organic”. Organic is becoming mainstream, and has become a standard which is expected and required rather than being seen as desirable. The production of organic food is covered by a European Standard and the conversion from conventional to organic production is simple. Firstly, call Helen at the Organic Trust in Dublin on 01-8530271 or Fergal Guilfoyle the Aquaculture Inspector on 087 987 3030. An application pack will be sent to you in the post which will include a form and details of the information

required. A map of your production area, a description of the business and a simple, short report on the environmental management of your business are a few of the main requirements. Once we have received your application, an inspection will be arranged, and usually takes half a day. The inspection is in two parts, the physical inspection covers your production site, equipment and boats. The paperwork inspection covers traceability, recall procedures etc. Usually, your Organic license is sent to you soon after the inspection. The label

that you can now use is recognised worldwide and signifies that your product comes from an Organic Farm which is independently inspected and certified. Most aquaculture farmers find the process of converting to organic production is simple and quick. The cost is not prohibitive and the reports back to us are that Organic product is easier to market and that sales are quicker once you have the Organic Certification. For more information please contact Helen on 018530271 or Fergal on 087 987 3030 or check out our website www.organictrust.ie. We will be happy to help you with any queries you may have on the process of certifying your Organic shellfish or finfish. *Fegal Guilfoyle is a Marine Consultant Fergal.Guilfoyle@gmail.com Tel: +353 87 987 3030
