NORTH SEA COD IN CRISIS

ANALYSIS

The publication of ICES scientific advice on cod and other North Sea demersal stocks, following weeks of speculation, has come as a shock. According to ICES, the cod biomass is in steep decline following a long spell of steady growth. ICES has recommended capping the 2020 fishery at 10 457 tonnes, a 63% reduction. The strong indication is that poor recruitment is the underlying problem, while also suggesting that as yet unidentified changes to fishing patterns are part of the overall situation. According to the NFFO, a mix of environmental and fisheries effects are at work, suggesting that the EU landing obligation may be one of the factors, while

climate change and environmental shifts can be identified as possible factors behind poor recruitment. “Cod in the North Sea is not a targeted species but is caught as a valuable by-catch along with other species in a mixed demersal fishery. This makes managing a reduction in fishing pressure on cod a difficult and challenging prospect, particularly in the context of the landing obligation and the potential for cod to choke other demersal fisheries,” an NFFO spokesman commented. 8 Full story page 4

The European Commission has lifted Taiwan's yellow card in acknowledgement of the efforts made to tackle illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The EC and Taiwan have been engaged in cooperation and dialogue since the issuing of the card in 2015 and the EC is confident that the Taiwanese authorities now have a broad range of efficient tools in place to fight IUU fishing. "I welcome the considerable efforts undertaken by Taiwan to reform its fisheries legal framework, implement new control tools and improve the traceability of marine fisheries products,” said Karmenu Vella, Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Efforts to address challenges facing Taiwan’s fisheries have been welcomed by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) but it warns that more needs to be done. It is concerned that the EC has not considered human rights issues as part of its decision to remove the yellow card.

8 Taiwan’s yellow card has been lifted, but concerns remain

"Taiwan has started on the journey to sustainable and ethical fishing, but it has by no means reached the destination," said EJF's executive director, Steve Trent. "Its new laws need full implementation and rigorous enforcement, recognising that any law is, ultimately, only as good as its enforcement." 8 Full story page 4

Kissing cod goodbye

Unfortunately for Baltic cod, they’ve already run out of mountain

We’ve been here before. North Sea cod are in sharp decline once again. The advice, naturally, is to slash fishing effort. That sounds familiar. Baltic cod have also been in a state of crisis for years. It’s accepted that cod are a thing of the past in the Channel. Now it looks like it could be the turn of the North Sea. The solution, as always, is to cut fishing activity still further. It’s not as if the fishing industry hasn’t been through all this before. There are never simple answers. The NGOs would have us believe that scrapping more boats is the key to everything, furiously blaming government apparatchiks for failing to act, instead of treading a fine line between conservation and real people’s livelihoods – while those same bureaucrats are on the receiving end of the industry’s fury. Let’s take into account that there’s a complex set of circumstances at play here, including the ramifications of the brand-new landing obligation, plus the natural cycles of marine species such as cod, inextricably entwined with the natural cycles of their food sources and predators. Behind all this is the polewards shift of marine species as they seek the temperatures and conditions that suit them. It’s the Alpine situation, as flora and fauna have already been observed moving higher up the slopes as temperatures and habitats change. The problem is what happens when they run out of mountain. ICES points to poor recruitment as the fundamental problem facing North Sea cod. According to a recent report by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Baltic waters are becoming warmer, increasingly acidic, less rich in oxygen and with decreasing salinity. So it’s hardly any surprise that Baltic cod aren’t happy fish. Unfortunately for Baltic cod, they’ve already run out of mountain. The underlying issue is that despite the strident claims of the climate change deniers, changing climatic conditions are taking fish away from their habitats as they look for somewhere comfortable to live. It’s not the relatively modest number of trawlers that are the root cause of the problem. No amount of tinkering with regulations, grids and mesh sizes, or quotas or days at sea is going to change that. Maybe it’s time for the NGOs that have been so fervent in their demands to reduce or end fishing to instead focus their significant energies on the real problem that’s facing fishing and so much else – to address the sickness and not the symptom.

There’s a strong element of déjàvu about seeing the North Sea cod stock again in crisis.Much has changed since the 1990s and early 2000s when cod were last seen being in serious decline. According to the NFFO, lessons from that time need to be learned, taking into account that drastic cuts in the TAC for cod within a mixed fishery resulted in large-scale discarding. “In today’s context that means illicit discarding, or chokes. Both carry serious consequences,” The NFFO stated. "Input controls in the form of days-at-sea restrictions do not work. There is no linear relationship between a reduction in permitted time at sea and fishing mortality on cod. Effort control has a tendency to generate perverse outcomes.” The NFFO points out that as vessels are no longer permitted to discard and chokes occur when a quota for one species is exhausted, there is a concern that the cod quota will be out of alignment with the TACs for haddock, whiting, saithe, and plaice, increasing the risk of chokes dramatically in 2020. At the same time, cod are not easily separated from other species without losses of target catch, making even greater gear selectivity a long shot. “The fishing industry is noticeably adaptive. Fishing vessels, as businesses, will seek to remain viable trip-by-trip, under whatever the regulatory regime may apply. In the past, drastic

COD UNDER PRESSURE

management measures have generated pressures leading to fleet displacements into adjacent areas, or into changing target species, or gear types. All such displacement effects have potential knock-on effects,” the NFFO states. “A step-wise approach rather

8 Lessons need to be drawn from the 90s, when cod were last in decline, according to the NFFO

than big bang measures often delivers better results in the longer term, and more intelligent ways of avoiding concentrations of cod are likely to have more effect than drastic TAC cuts and effort control.”

TAIWAN TAKES MEASURES ON FISHING Taiwan has made significant steps towards bringing its fishing industry into line in the last few years under the framework of its National Plan of Control and Inspection for Fisheries (NPCI). According to the Taiwanese Council of Agriculture, the legal framework has been enhanced with the adoption of the three fisheries acts that came into force in 2017, while eLogs have been made mandatory for distant water fishing vessels and a round-theclock fisheries monitoring centre is now in operation, in addition to the establishment of a landing declaration scheme. Taiwanese vessels can only land or transship at designated

overseas ports. More fisheries inspectors and observers have been recruited, plus a strategy for auditing the distant water sector of the fleet has been implemented. International co-operation has been expanded, along with the establishment of a specific task force to combat IUU fishing activity. The UK-based EJF, which has monitored the Taiwanese fishing industry closely for a number of years, has acknowledged the progress made, but states that its investigations continue to reveal that the distant water fleet fails to abide by the new legislation “Taiwan has started on the journey to sustainable and ethical

fishing, but it has by no means reached the destination,” said EJF’s Executive Director Steve Trent, commenting that Taiwan needs to go further to bring its fishing fleet out of the shadows. “Transparency must be improved as a simple, costeffective way to combat both illegal practices and human rights abuses in the fishing industry. Taiwan has made some progress to allow public scrutiny of its fisheries, but it needs to do more. Bringing its laws fully in line with key international conventions and revealing the true beneficial ownership of vessels are critical next steps that we urge Taiwan to take.”

With the The European Commission launching its annual consultation on the state of fish stocks and the preparation for setting fish quotas for next year marked by the objective to fish all stocks at MSY levels by 2020, the good news is that most of the stocks in the North East Atlantic have already reached this target, according to Europêche managing director Daniel Voces. However, some fish populations are struggling to rebuild or even to remain at current level – and the answer may be found in the latest scientific advice which revealed major challenges in some fisheries caused by the destabilising effect of the full introduction of the landing obligation and environmental factors such as climate change. “Scientific data prove that the introduction of the EU landing obligation has been and still is more complex than politicians have foreseen and has led to unintended, harmful consequences in fisheries management, undoing the achievements and sacrifices made over the past years by fishermen,” he said. “It confirms that from the perspective of fisheries management there was no need to introduce the landing obligation in the EU. The landing obligation is

8 According to Europêche, the increase in NE Atlantic fish stocks was been made possible by a far-reaching reduction in fishing effort

changing fishing patterns with potentially (and mostly still unknown) destabilising knock-on effects. The advised steep TAC reduction for cod will certainly lead to choke situations in many fisheries, preventing fishermen from fully utilising their quota with significant economic losses as a consequence.” He pointed out that in the NE Atlantic there have been very quickly realised achievements as in 2019, 59 out of 76 TACs have been set according to MSY levels compared to only five in 2009. “In addition, the size of the fish stocks in the NE Atlantic has increased by more than 36% on average over the last ten years. This huge improvement has only been made possible by a farreaching reduction in fishing effort. Still, it must be acknowledged, effort reductions do not always translate into larger quotas,” he said, commenting that southern North Sea and eastern Baltic cod stocks represent examples of fisheries which, despite continuous effort reductions and after years of slow but steady recovery, are again in sharp decline.

The arrival of Brixham’s cloud-based KOSMOS electronic auction has ended the port’s traditional shout auction for good, and widens the auction’s scope, providing access for remote buying. The new system, developed by Aucxis, got off to a strong start on the first day of selling online, despite some buyers having been anxious about using it, but the feedback was very positive. According to BTA, which operates the auction, the decision to change has been primarily because fishermen want to see their production available to a wider section of the market. “We do think it will encourage a lot more fishermen to land their fish in this port which would give our buyers a lot more opportunity to buy a lot more fish,” said BTA’s Barry Young, commenting that KOSMOS is a world first, enabling fish buyers to purchase their fish at the

Three-year cooperation plan keys in on Port State Measures, gender, ghost gear and sustainable marine ecosystems. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Iceland have agreed to work closely together to facilitate the design and implementation of programmes supporting the longterm conservation of living marine ecosystems and to unlock the potential of the world's marine and freshwater ecosystems. The partnership is geared to provide financial and technical support to ongoing institutions and initiatives including the Port State Measures Agreement and to reduce the quantity of discarded fishing gear in the world's oceans. Other areas slated for support under the agreement are land restoration, gender issues and FAO's broader Blue Growth activities. The three-year agreement lasts through 2022, the International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

SEAFOOD’S CHANGING TIDE One hundred and fifty-three billion dollars. That’s the latest estimated traded value of seafood products globally, with a current annual growth rate of around 4%, according to the most recent seafood trade map and report compiled by Rabobank International. While both demand and supply are expected to continue to rise, the multinational financial company’s ‘World Seafood Map 2019’ anticipates that current issues such as global trade tensions and uncertainties, emerging aquaculture techniques, and biosecurity risks in animal protein production will increasingly shape and reshape global seafood flows in the future. Not surprisingly, China continues to be the number one seafood exporter in volume and value with around 4.2 million tonnes of products generating overseas sales in excess of $20 billion (€17.7 billion) in 2017. It’s followed by Norway in second place with 2.5 million tonnes earning more than $11 billion (€9.8 billion). Rabobank’s analysis confirms that both countries added more than $2 billion (€1.8 billion) to their seafood exports in the five years between 2012 and 2017, but that there was only a minor increase in the volumes shipped. In the upcoming years, China and Norway are expected to keep their positions as the main seafood exporting nations, but that there will be a slower growth rate in Chinese seafood exports. Indeed the country is becoming an increasingly important importer, bringing in close to 5 million tonnes of products worth more than $14 billion (€12.4 billion). At present, the domestic requirement for seafood and increased consumption is spiking due to the African Swine Fever (ASF) situation in China's pork production. While in the background, the country’s demand for imported and particularly premium seafood is building due to increasing purchasing power and food safety concerns over local production in the market. The EU is still the largest importer of fish and shellfish, and it increased its imports by $4 billion (€3.5 billion) from 2012 to 2017, while the second largest seafood importer, the United States, also imported more seafood in the last five years, with an increase amounting to $5 billion (€4.4 billion). With China increasing its seafood imports by more than $3 billion (€2.7 billion), it’s expected to soon overtake third-placed Japan, which imported 2.4 million tonnes of products worth $15 billion (€13.3 billion). Rabobank analyst Behyhan de Jong, who compiled the analysis, explained that Japan’s imports were already on a decreasing trend due to such demographics as an aging population. Rabobank further found that the value increase in the EU, the US, and China is predominantly driven by increased salmon and crustacean imports. CONSUMPTION PATTERNS The map illustrates that the strong dependence on imports among the main seafood consuming markets will continue for the foreseeable future. The EU produced around 6.6 million tonnes of seafood in 2015 but consumed more than 12.3 million tonnes of products, resulting in a net import trade of 5.7 million tonnes. Rabobank forecasts that while EU production will increase to 6.7 million tonnes by 2020 and to 6.8 million tonnes by 2025, its consumption will also rise by relatively similar amounts. In the US, seafood consumption is expected to rise from a 10 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

While the global seafood trade is expected to continue to grow, recent analysis points to shifts in the market dynamics, writes Jason Holland

level of almost 8.6 million tonnes in 2015 to more than 9 million tonnes in 2020 and 9.3 million tonnes in 2025. Over the same decade its production is expected to decline by around 100,000 tonnes to less than 5.4 million tonnes, making it a net trade importer to the tune of almost 4 million tonnes. China’s production, meanwhile, is forecast to grow from 64.6 million tonnes (2015) to 69.5 million tonnes by 2020 and 74.7 million tonnes by 2025, during which time its consumption will increase from 61.3 million tonnes to 70.4 million tonnes, giving it a positive net trade of almost 4.3 million tonnes in 2025. Again, though, there are clear signs of change. Seafood eating in China is traditionally concentrated in the urban areas of south and southeastern coastal regions, but with increasing urbanisation, the development of e-commerce and cold chain infrastructure improvements, seafood consumption is now increasing everywhere. Furthermore, while freshwater fish, including carp species, are the most consumed type of seafood, followed by molluscs, the consumption pattern is shifting, whereby consumers are developing an interest for the more premium and imported seafood species. In line with these increased demand and supply constraints, China’s large net trade surplus can therefore be expected to reduce in the long-term.

8 Recent analysis indicates shifts taking place within the seafood market’s dynamics

TRADE DRIVERS The analysis finds that in value terms, currently the largest trade flow continues to be from Norway to the EU, and this mainly consists of salmon and some whitefish. This is followed by salmon and crustaceans from Canada and flows of whitefish and crustaceans from China to the US. From 2013 to 2017, the crustacean trade increased globally, with the US, the EU and China increasing their imports of these products. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico and Ecuador have been the main suppliers due to higher and more efficient production in these regions. Likewise, the salmon trade increased globally due to demand growth. For example, Chile has doubled its salmon exports to China over the last four years. For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT

In fact, all salmon producers, and particularly Norway, increased their exports to all consumer regions. Whitefish still has the largest traded volumes, though, and this position is expected to remain stable despite changes in the trade patterns. This category consists of farmed and wild-caught species. Also, a big portion of this trade flow includes China’s reexports of processed whitefish from Russia. In comparison to 2013, China’s whitefish exports – mainly tilapia – to the US have dropped by 33%. However, Vietnam filled this gap by increasing its exports to the US, which is dominated by pangasius. Due to improved supply conditions in Peru, the fishmeal and fish oil trade has increased in the last four years. Driven by its large aquaculture industry, China remains the largest consumer of these products. The relatively higher prices of fishmeal and fish oils have also led to a value increase in trade flows. In 2017, for example, more than 1 million tonnes of Peruvian fishmeal was exported with a value of $1.5 billion (€1.3 billion), up from 600,000 tonnes worth $1 billion (€888 million) a year previously. China accounted for 80% of this trade.

“In the future, we might even see farming of different seafood categories growing. Aquaculture will keep its importance as a contributor to global seafood trade,” she said. All large seafood categories are expected to grow in the coming years, forecasts Rabobank. Although the growth will be strongest with crustacean and freshwater fish farming in developing economies in Asia, South America, and to a limited extent, Africa. Salmon production will continue to grow, mainly in value terms, in Europe, Canada, Australia and Chile. NEW INFLUENCES While the analysis expects seafood to hold on to its rank as one of the world’s most in demand and traded food categories, it suggests that the further growth of farmed seafood consumption will come at the expense of wild-catch seafood. It explains that the increase in trade in recent years has been primarily driven by farmed species, consisting of high-value premium crustaceans and marine species and lower-value whitefish species traded from Southeast Asia to western countries. Rabobank anticipates that this trend will continue, and also that large seafood consumers such as China, where supply can’t keep up with demand, will keep importing more seafood products. However, it also believes that trade dynamics and routes likely to change in the upcoming years, due to influences such as increased protectionism, current uncertainties in trade relations among several trade partners such as Brexit and the U.S.-China trade war, the growing aquaculture sector in different parts of the world with new technologies like land-based and offshore farming, and biological challenges in the animal protein sector, including the aforementioned African swine fever crisis, which is expected to lead to production losses of 25-35% in China alone this year.

AQUACULTURE OVERTAKES WILD-CATCH Acknowledging that production from the wild-catch sector is “flat”, while aquaculture keeps growing, Rabobank expects the future growth in seafood to continue to come from the farmed sector, which will be driven by improved genetics, new husbandry technologies, innovations in aquafeed, and the switch to more efficient and intensive farming technologies. In 2020, the volumes from aquaculture production are expected to exceed 90,000 tonnes, thereby surpassing the volumes from wild-catch seafood. Crucially though, while the overall harvest will still continue to increase, aquaculture’s growth rate is expected to slow down in comparison to the last decade, said de Jong.

LAKE VICTORIA CONSERVATION EFFORTS

There is nothing unusual about high levels of resentment among fishermen in developing countries, directed at the law enforcement authorities that make efforts to prevent the use of illegal and non-selective fishing gears, reports Lilian Elekwachi

Stephen Nyombi is a clear exception, working with the Uganda Marine Police Force and the army to prevent destructive fishing in Lake Victoria. A director of Nalongo Fishers, he turns out to be something of a rarity as both a fisherman and a conservationist. Fishing company Nalongo Fishers began in 1991 with a rented boat and in 1995 he acquired his first boat. In 1999, Nalongo Fishers Limited became registered as a capture fishing company in Uganda, specialising in catching Nile perch and tilapia which they sell to factories and consumers. The company now has thirteen approved boats with more than 20 employees. The average size of the boats used is 11.50 metres, which is above the the enforcement team’s recommended size. Being a friend to police and army officers who enforce conservation on the water is unique. Stephen Nyombi explained that he saw early in his fishing career that it is much more profitable to catch few large mature Nile perch or tilapia than smaller young fish. He commented that in the early 1990s, before fishermen started using damaging fishing gears, there was a lot of fish in Lake Victoria. This situation changed suddenly as almost all fishermen started using highly 12 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

destructive gears, to the extent that by early 2000s, fishing in Lake Victoria became increasingly difficult. At first all his fishing colleagues resented him for supporting the police and army efforts to oppose the use of destructive fishing gears. After some years, a number of fishermen joined him in supporting the efforts of the police and army efforts in conserving Lake Victoria’s resources. Stephen Nyombi and his friends have over the years helped police and army officers to identify fishermen using destructive fishing gears and catching juvenile fish. Both the immature fish caught and destructive fishing gears are confiscated and the gears are burnt while the immature fish is given to the community members by the enforcement team. The fishing gears commonly used in Uganda and seen as destructive include beach seine nets, trawls, cast nets and small gauge hooks. Captain Nuwagaba, one of the army officers leading the Lake Victoria enforcement team agreed with Stephen Nyombi’s views about the situation of fishing in Lake Victoria. “I have never seen such a man like Mr Nyombi for supporting the army and police enforcement team on Lake Victoria as if For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

he is not a fisherman himself,” Captain Nuwagaba said, confirming that fisheries have suffered with the number of fishing gears in use that catch immature fish. He said that illegal fishing led to the drop in the Lake Victoria Nile perch stock from approximately 2.3 million tonnes in 1999 to less than 300,000 tonnes in 2008. The major species of fish in Lake Victoria such as Nile perch and tilapia have experienced significant reductions in stock levels, resulting in many fish processing factories closing. Captain Nuwagaba said that fish exports contributed 12% of the total GDP in 2002 but this figure has been falling ever year since. Uganda’s Fisheries Protection Unit (FPU) was formed by president General Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in 2016 to combat illegal fishing in a number of lakes – starting with Lake Victoria. According to Captain Nuwagaba, since the start of their operations on Lake Victoria, many tonnes of illegal fishing gears and a number of boats have been confiscated and burnt to avoid fishermen from re-accessing them. The unit’s activities also involve an education process to inform fishermen about conservation measures and sustainable management of Lake Victoria’s fishery resources.

Unit in 2016, Lake Victoria’s fish stocks appear to be more healthy. According to research carried out by the National Fisheries Research Institute at Jinja, stocks of Nile perch and tilapia have increased by 30%. Captain Nuwagaba commented that this is a real success story for Uganda’s fisheries, and added on that all the fish processing factories that had closed resumed their operations.

Focusing on Fishery Development

SAMSKIP OFFERS SHORTSEA FISH EXPORT OPTIONS Worth an estimated NOK7.9bn (€800m), revenues from Norway’s pelagic fisheries increased by over 10% in the 2018 season as prices for fish oil and fish meal climbed, demonstrating its continuing importance to the nation’s economy. However, despite being an activity strictly undertaken within quotas, the September to December season was by no means predictable, with 250,000 tonnes of mackerel being caught later in the season than anticipated over a concentrated 12 week period in locations south of the expected fishing grounds. Skippers are used to following the fish, but recent years have seen more southerly fish loading ports in Norway gravitate towards containerisation, while points further north stick with conventional and sideloading reefer vessels. Managing director Are Grathen, said that this past season has tested the flexibility of the supply chain and its ability to adapt to landing port, storage and carriage requirements, demanding agility from the transport companies delivering Europe’s main fish importing markets. Multimodal group Samskip has been making significant investments in Norway over the last two years, both through acquisition and organic growth. With several weekly container services to and from Rotterdam, Bremerhaven and Hamburg, the group already transports around 95,000 TEU a year between Norway and Northern Europe. Increasingly, Norwegian fish exports have become a focus for growth, through holdings in the frigoCare cold store and terminal hub in Ålesund, and through taking direct control over the marketing of two reefer ships formerly pooled with Silver Sea. Its most aggressive move saw the acquisition of Nor Lines in late 2017, adding the multi-purpose operator’s North NorwayNorth Continent services. The acquisition strengthened Samskip’s position significantly in the fish export market, adding a diversified logistics operation in 14 locations, further terminal activities, warehousing and haulage services, plus two multipurpose vessels, and four sideport reefer vessels. One year on, the new subsidiary’s shortsea services have been fully restructured to co-ordinate with the group offering and to better serve the need for flexibility demanded by this specialised export market. The restructure has also seen a broadening of the Samskip service offering, extending the northerly reach beyond the Norwegian border to Murmansk, and bringing Faroe Islands calls into its North Atlantic services umbrella. “The unpredictability of this last fishing season offers a prime example of the flexibility that this dynamic market needs,” Are Grathen explained. “Of course the Nor Lines acquisition brought scale, but the service restructure has not only been about cost cutting; it has been about making our logistics services more attractive in key market segments.” He highlights the flexibility of having containerised, multipurpose and sideloading reefer vessels at its disposal to serve liftings southbound, but adds that substantial cold store facilities and international freight forwarding mean Samskip “covers more of the transport value chain than our competitors.” Nor Lines continues to run its weekly ro-ro/heavylift/reefer liner service connecting Western and Northern Norway to the 14 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

Flexibility in shortsea containerised, reefer and multipurpose service are persuading fish exporters to choose shortsea over other options, according to Samskip Norway’s Are Grathen

Netherlands weekly, connecting into Rotterdam and Velsen/ Amsterdam. However, fish exporters - and especially fisheries traders along the port range north of Trondheim - now also benefit from revisions to separate Nor Lines multipurpose reefer services that are designed to offer both greater loading flexibility and more delivery options. Here, the Nor Lines three-vessel reefer/palletised/deck service Norway-North Continent has been replaced by two services, sustained by four ships. The new Baltic service connects ports as far north as Tromsø to Denmark, Poland and Klaipeda with three vessels; meanwhile, the fourth ship has been deployed in the Arctic service, linking the Dutch fish distribution port of Velsen direct with ports as far north as Hammerfest and Murmansk. Part of the restructure sees southbound calls along the Norwegian coast southbound less fixed but potentially more frequent and responsive to loading requirements. The addition of the 2800 dwt geared reefer vessel Samskip ICE provides more frequency, for example, while loading capability has also been upgraded through the replacement of an older vessel with Samskip Frost (2900 dwt). Are Grathen emphasised that Samskip is committed to serving Dutch fish cold store markets as demand dictates, especially into Eemshaven, but the addition of Velsen to the Nor Lines portfolio is highly significant for Norwegian fish exporters. The 80,000 tonne capacity Kloosterboer Velsen cold cargo storage and distribution centre and offers effective shortsea links to the UK and its highly prized ‘fish and chips’ market, and provides effective shortsea competition for trucks to Portugal. He added that new scale and frequency increases creates other opportunities. “We have strengthened the side-port operation to improve capacity in the Baltic ports, but we’re also creating synergies between traditional side-port reefer shipping and container services, with the potential to containerise more of the market,”

he said, commenting that the ability to offer choice, whether through full container solutions from Norway, sideport vessel/ container combinations, or trucks when speed is required, is bringing new competitiveness. Furthermore, in addition to the volumes processed in North Europe, around 30% of southbound container, conventional or palletised fish from Norway is subsequently transhipped onto deepsea container vessels to Asia. “Our position as a multinational logistics provider of reefer cargo creates a specific advantage in such cases: we offer endto-end solutions throughout the value chain – from a fishing village in Norway to the Japanese buyer taking delivery of the container. We are also seeing growth in fish volumes shipped to Asia or the Baltics for processing before being redelivered in Europe.” Setting aside the airfreight market for fresh fish, the service changes also make shortsea more competitive against trucking, he adds. Trucking takes a strong share of fish exports based on flexibility, delivery speeds, and the willingness of some foreign drivers to accept the cold hard miles others may not.

“We are already seeing that our service changes are having an impact when it comes to the choices shippers make; recently, we’ve been obtaining cargoes that we otherwise would not have been able to,” Are Grathen said. “As more and more of them come to see that the short sea option is increasingly the flexible choice, I am convinced this is only the start.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

SERVING A HIGH-TECH, HIGH-EFFICIENCY FLEET Iceland has long been a prime market for electronics company Scanmar, with an Icelandic subsidiary managed by Thórir Matthíasson from workshops in Garðabaer

8 Scanmar Iceland’s Thórir Matthíasson at the company’s offices in Garðabær with a sensor that has been in use for almost 30 years – and still has plenty of life in it

“Scanmar is doing well, but Scanmar Iceland is only a part of the whole,” he said. The market in Iceland has been through some major changes as much of the fleet has been renewed, alongside the process of consolidation that has seen the fleet shrink to a smaller number of vessels. “This is a high-tech, high-efficiency fleet now,” he said. “It has changed a lot and is still changing. Although there is still older tonnage in the fleet, there has been a huge amount of renewal, and there’s more coming, big and small, including two new pelagic vessels being built in Denmark for Samherji and Síldarvinnslan.” Apart from Rammi’s factory trawler Sólberg, which is one of Scanmar’s longstanding customers, the renewal has been in fresher trawlers as there is an increased focus on shore-based processing. “Change always comes in waves,” Thórir Matthíasson said. “The changes we are seeing is that skippers are demanding more and more information, and they want more precision – and that’s what Scanmar is responding to.” He explained that Scanmar places emphasis on obtaining the most possible precision from trawl sensors, and an example of this is that Scanmar is the only manufacturer to include temperature compensation. “The speed of sound in water is 1500m/sec at a temperature of approximately 14°C, and at lower temperatures it slows down a lot, so results are going to be different,” he explained. “This makes a difference and this can be as much as 6-7%, 16 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

and also depends on the depth. So Scanmar sensors record the changing temperature in the water column as the gear is shot away, and this information is used to generate a graph. The data received is then automatically corrected in line with a mean water temperature between the gear and the trawler, adding precision to the sensor data when it reaches the wheelhouse screens. This has been part of Scanmar sensors for quite a while now.” He commented that the next big step in fishing gear sensor technology seems likely to be a link which would represent a massive increase in the data capacity. “There are limits to what can be done with wireless technology, and the next revolution in this is going to be fibre optics. That opens the possibilities to see the fish in the trawl mouth, for the skipper to be able to see the species and size, and be able to take a decision on whether to catch those fish or not. Scanmar ought to be the one taking the end of that cable and making full use of it,” he said. He commented that Scanmar has always placed the emphasis firmly on quality and reliability – and offers a five year guarantee with its sensors, although many are in use long after the guarantee has lapsed. “We had one that came in last week that’s twenty-nine years old, and it’s fine,” he said. “This is a codend sensor and they come back every few years for the battery to be changed. So we changed the battery and checked it out, and expect to see this one again in a few years.” For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

According to Paul Dunn, chair of the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA), with these small and unobtrusive devices, which are also seen as handy platforms for the unique identifiers required as part of advanced track and trace programmes, holography is finding a new role in fisheries. He cited India as an example, as the state government of Kerala has introduced 300 Holographic Registration Plates (HRPs) in a move to tackle the increasing number of unregistered fishing vessels operating in coastal regions and which have been linked to criminal activities, including human trafficking. The HRPs, which are designed as a tetrahedron to be visible from all sides, feature embossed security holograms which are extremely difficult to duplicate. Individual plates are fixed on top of the wheelhouse with an identification ion number laser etched to ensure each of the vessels has a unique identifier. The application of holograms in this way is replacing the traditional registration marks. This enables the authorities to better identify unlicensed fishing vessels, improve coastal

security and conduct rescue operations more effectively. The project is already reaping benefits, according to Fisheries Department director S Venkatesapathy, who is quoted as saying HRP will prove extremely helpful in ensuring coastal security and vessel identification. Looking to the future, the department is considering the practicality of creating an HRP networking

system for real-time monitoring of sea-going vessels through incorporating the HRP with GPS functionality. A microchip containing vessel and crew details could also be fitted with it. “The capacity for holography to incorporate other data forms and recognition information continues to grow in importance,” Paul Dunn said. “With advances in technology and widening applications, there’s no reason why the technology should not continue to play a critical part in the on-going battle to remain one step of ahead of the counterfeiters.”

In recent years, as the international community has intensified its fight against IUU fishing, as nation states and RFMOs have increasingly sought out the services of Icelandic tech company Trackwell Maritime. “Trade in illegally caught fish and its products are extensive and practiced across borders. The international community is constantly calling for increased action and Trackwell has responded, steadily securing its position as a leading service and retailer of Fisheries Control Systems worldwide as a result,” said Trackwell project manager Thorvarður K. Sigurjónsson. The Trackwell Vessel Monitoring System (Trackwell VMS) is software for Fisheries Monitoring Centres (FMC) that enables monitoring of EEZs for fishing activities.

information between authorities, neighbouring countries and regional fisheries offices.” The system supports integration and compatibility with the FLUX (Fisheries Language for Universal Exchange) system to assist and support the distribution of fisheries-related data to e.g. RFMOs. Australia is one of the leading fisheries nations using Trackwell VMS to manage the activity for thousands of commercial fishing vessels within the third largest EEZ in the world. The system helps the Australian Commonwealth and selective state and territory fisheries agencies ensure continuous compliance with fisheries management regulations. “Trackwell also serves RFMOs such as the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), who both play an important role in the fight against illegal fishing,” he said. “The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) is also a premier client in which, Trackwell VMS is used to manage four thousand vessels in the Pacific Ocean for the twenty-six FFA and WCPFC member states.”

FISHTEK MARINE CROWDFUNDS BYCATCH PREVENTION Marine bycatch prevention pioneer Fishtek Marine has netted its full £900,000 impact investment via the Triodos Bank UK crowdfunding platform, enabling Fishtek to develop its range of products, conduct more live sea trials and help enhance global awareness

8 Pete Kibel (left) founder of Fishtek Marine and Dr Rob Enever, Head of Science and Uptake at Fishtek Marine

Fishtek Marine was born out of a passion to help tackle the worldwide problem of marine by-catch, established by Totnes-based brothers Pete and Ben Kibel, a marine biologist and engineer respectively, who started developing products to deter animals from nets, funding their work themselves. However, in order to further product development, drive sales and raise awareness they launched the investment crowdfunding offer on the Triodos Bank platform. “This investment is totally transformative. It is enabling us to take the organisation to the next level in both product development and global awareness of what we do and the problem we’re trying to tackle,” said Pete Kibel. “No-one wants to see marine species become injured or die in fishing nets, and our products help to guide animals away and keep them safe. We’d like to thank every investor who has supported us and invested in our future, and we can’t wait to bring them on this exciting journey with us in helping to conserve more marine animals, so by-catch becomes a thing of the past.” The organisation already received £400,000 of the capital raised at the first close of the share offer in December 2018. This money has primarily been used to help develop and test a range of products, including the SharkGuard - to minimise the huge global problem of millions of sharks being killed, injured or caught by longline fishing vessels every year. Early prototype trials have demonstrated a 90% reduction in by-catch. Commercial sea trials take place in France this summer and will enable Fishtek to further measure the effectiveness of SharkGuard in action. Another Fishtek initiative is the NetLight, which illuminates nets so that turtles, seabirds and dolphins see and avoid them. 20 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

Fishtek has captured the hearts and minds of our investors who strongly believe in its purpose and products. We’re extremely proud to have been able to raise the full investment on the platform and can already see the fantastic impact the initial funding has had on the organisation Sea trials are currently being carried out in Northern Cyprus, El Salvador and Peru. Recent results from South American trials showed 80% reductions in by-catch across all species. Fishtek has been working closely with the Cornish fishing industry on banana pingers to minimise cetacean by-catch, sharing evidence about the efficacy of pingers which emit sound to deter animals from being caught in nets. Pingers are expected to be adopted by some of the Cornish fishing fleet in winter 2019 following a 100% reduction in by-catch rate during trials. “Fishtek has captured the hearts and minds of our investors who strongly believe in its purpose and products. We’re extremely proud to have been able to raise the full investment on the platform and can already see the fantastic impact the initial funding has had on the organisation,” said Dan Hird, head of Corporate Finance at Triodos Bank UK. “We wish them great success in the future and look forward to seeing the full impact this transformative funding will have on Fishtek, and its work in alleviating marine by-catch around the world.” For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

CURIO: MATCHING THE MACHINE TO THE FISH Icelandic fish processing machinery speciality Curio continues to expand as its innovative range of fish processing machines grows

8 Curio’s managing director Elli Hreinsson with one of the company’s filleting machines

Based in an industrial district overlooking Hafnarfjörður harbour, Curio’s managing director Elli Hreinsson took a break from the design desk to explain that Curio Food Machinery is already active in Scotland, the UK being one of the company’s key markets. Added to this are Curio Food Machinery AS at Molde in Norway, and the the company is also looking to establish itself in the fish processing heartland of Tromsø. “Our main customer base in Norway is around Tromsø, and we have more than fifty machines in use in Norway,” he said, adding that Curio USA is now also in the process of being set up in New Bedford. The technical complexity of Curio’s high-tech machines is such that training staff isn’t a simple process, and two of the Curio Food Machinery staff in Scotland have been travelling to Iceland for a couple of weeks every month for more than a year. “It depends on the background how long they need to train – and on how deep into all this you want to go – and the aim is that they can then train others,” he said. Curio has had a few busy years – with new skinning machines also ready for launch, growing interest in its products from Russia, France and Spain, as well as the company’s established markets, plus a long overdue expansion in Iceland. “Last year was a good year, and this one has started well. There has been a lot going on in the last few years, and it all seems to be coming together at the same time,” he said, adding that the delay in expanding the premises in Hafnarfjörður has been a headache caused partly by Iceland’s overall prosperity that has led to a shortage of available construction workers. But now Curio is about to get the much-needed additional space, with an additional 1300 square metres of workshop, with plans for more to come. This comes at just the right time, and 22 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

Curio has already been able to bring its delivery times down to 12-14 weeks, which the additional workshop facilities are expected to keep at this level or below. “Once everything is ready around mid-August, we can expect to see an increase in growth with this additional production capacity.” COLLARBONE CUTTER The latest addition to the Curio range is a collarbone cutter developed for processing H&G fish, and this has become an extensive project that attracted a Horizon 2020 grant towards completing the work that Curio had already begun in developing this. “We were aware that a lot of our customers were either using old machinery that had been adapted, or else cutting by hand – and not very successfully,” he said. So Curio started working on a machine that would take the heavy work out of this process, as well as being able to do it with greater efficiency than can be done by hand. “We took the proof of concept and the work that had already been done, and the EU agreed with us, giving us a grant to help finish the development and market the machine,” he said. “We’re working at full speed on this now to produce four test machines that can be tried out in production, and we want to make this as varied as possible, testing this across different species and using both fresh and defrosted raw material. 2019 is the year to build and test the collarbone cutter, and we aim to have this on the market in 2020.” One of the test collarbone cutters will be going to Norway, and another will be tried out in the UK. “We’ll be testing one in Iceland as well,” Elli Hreinsson said. “That was a surprise, as we didn’t see a need for this in Iceland, For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

PROCESSING & QUALITY

but it seems there’s interest after all. We’ll be rotating these collarbone cutters between companies while they are tested, and there’s also interest in these from the Faroes.” PUTTING TO REST THE HAND-FILLETING MYTH The thinking behind the Curio machines brings a different approach to filleting fish, and from the outset the intention was to come up with a pattern that would make it possible to adapt filleting technology to fish ranging from 350 grammes all the way up to 20kg. “We started in the middle and added larger variants, XL and XXL, and then went on to extra small. But it’s all the same machine and at Brussels this year we introduced our latest extra small option designed for handling fish around 350 grammes,” Elli Hreinsson said. This has performed well in trials, and shown good results with small haddock, saithe, whiting and cod. “We supply a machine and a kit that goes with it to adapt to other sizes. Norway is an important market for us, and for Norwegian processors this makes things very convenient. They have a January to May season when there’s a high rate of large cod, and at the end of May then need to switch to processing smaller haddock and saithe. So they can process both with the same machine. It’s an hour’s work for a small adjustment, or a day’s work for their technician, depending on how much of an adjustment needs to be made.” “We have also been supplying a lot of our XXL variants in the last few years, for both factory vessels and production ashore, as there is more large cod to be processed,” he said, adding that until now, the majority of cod in the 6-18kg range has been

8 Curio has grown in the last few years, both in Iceland and across a number of overseas markets

filleted manually, but the arrival of Curio’s XXL option is eliminating hand filleting. “There’s no good reason to fillet groundfish by hand any longer,” he said. “It’s an old myth that filleting by hand gives a better yield – that’s not the case any longer. The fact is that machine filleting now will always give a better yield than filleting by hand. We’re not looking at a five-fish test here, but this needs to be compared over a full day’s production.” He commented that trials have demonstrated that machine filleting in the right machine is better for quality, producing a cleaner, better-looking fillet. “Bigger fillets looks so much better when they come out of this machine,” he said.

SKAGINN 3X’S EFFICIENCY BOOSTING VALUEPUMP Skaginn 3X’s new ValuePump™ offers a combination of ideas in a system that has a wealth of possibilities 8 The ValuePump copes with temperatures from 20°C up to 80°C, opening up a wealth of processing possibilities

The concept behind the ValuePump is a large-gauge spiral that forms the body of the system, which provides providing opportunities to apply a range of functions while fish are in transit from input to output. “What we have here is a pump, with the added capacity to shorten bleeding times significantly as the fish pass through it,’ explained Skaginn 3X’s founder and CEO Ingólfur Árnason. But that’s just the beginning. While the ValuePump can be used to bleed fish effectively and fast, this offers opportunities to chill, freeze, defrost, disinfect or cook fish in transit as it can cope with temperatures ranging from -20°C all the way up to 80°C, including possibilities for transporting live fish as part of a delousing process. “This offers possibilities for significant increases in productivity as the spiral configuration means that we can subchill fish two to three times faster using this method – in 15 instead of 45 minutes. Fish processing demands speed, and this is a tool that can get the fish to optimal condition very fast,” he said. “In fact, this is a very flexible tool that can slot into a processing system. Two pumps would be enough to cover a whole factory’s transfer needs.” He commented that the ValuePump itself is not complex technology, as it brings together ideas that Skaginn 3X’s engineers have already been working with, but the combination is what makes this special – and highly versatile. “It’s not a fundamentally complex piece of engineering, although it uses much of the technology we have developed ourselves, such as heat transfer techniques,” Ingólfur Árnason said. 24 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

“It can handle everything from small fish up to 10kg fish – and that could be pelagic or demersal fish, wild fish or farmed fish, with a choice of treatments available during the transfer,” he said. “It’s a new tool in the toolbox, and the ValuePump can be large or small, depending on the requirement. This is something that can be placed in any existing processing line, and at the same time it provides opportunities for fish transfer between points in the production system.” During trials, fish were frozen in the ValuePump to a below zero surface temperature, while the fish itself is kept at the optimum temperature for processing. The fish were filleted as the final stage of the test, with positive results. “Once the fish has been chilled like this, it goes through the filleting process much better. The ValuePump’s cooling efficiency is very good, and it’s part of our mission to extend shelf life,” Ingólfur Árnason said. “The mission is to get as close as we can to a 30-day shelf life with efficient and effective chilling,” he added. “The trick is knowing that we can’t improve quality. We can only preserve it and the key is to delay degradation, starting as quickly as possible after slaughter. We can do this post-rigor, although it’s more effective to start pre-rigor, and we have to fix the quality at that point to be able to maintain it for as long as possible – and this is a big step in that direction.”

average of other Latin American countries. But we can definitely see the results of the actions taken by the government and the companies in this sector to improve the quality of products and to promote their consumption,” he added. Small producers still depend heavily on big exporters and are affected by fluctuations in international trade, which can sometimes have significant impact on the domestic market. These are the reasons why the government is currently working on plans to improve their access to the national domestic market. One of the ongoing measures is a programme to put them in direct contact with costumers, such as restaurants and grocery stores. “The government is also helping them to invest in certified processing plants, as a way of raising the value on their side of the chain,” Diego Niño said. Colombian tilapia exports are following the overall increase in production. In 2016, the country exported tilapia worth US$34.4 million. In 2018, the export revenue jumped to US$ 54.5 8 Cages in Betania

Some of Columbia’s larger companies are already competing in international markets. As a whole, Columbia’s aquaculture rose from 104,300 tonnes in 2016 to 120,200 tonnes in 2017, with a sustainable growth rate that can be noticed over the past years, according to Diego Niño of the National Authority of Aquaculture and Fishing in Colombia. In 2018, total production totalled around 130 thousand tonnes – and tilapia accounts for approximately 62% of the total. “The growth in tilapia production will continue in the future. There was a transformation in the mindset of the producers in the last two decades. People now see their farms as professional businesses, and they are concerned with such themes as raising productivity and investing more money on production,” Diego Niño explained. Initially, aquaculture in Colombia was an alternative for farmers who nervous about having large cattle herds on their properties. Given that both paramilitary and rebellious armed groups historically disputed several regions in the country since the 1940s, fish tanks were a less visible way of investing money and therefore they minimised the risk of being robbed, Diego Niño believes. “In regions such Huila, closer to the capital Bogota, this kind of business grew more and more over time and entrepreneurs started to see it as a viable trade. Nowadays, Huila is the most important producing hub in the country, along with other regions in the eastern and northern parts of Colombia,” he said. Domestic consumption of fish has also been growing steadily over the last three decades, going from an annual consumption rate of 1.7kg per capita to 8.4kg per capita. “Colombian average consumption of fish is still below the

million. One of the companies leading this trend is Comepez, part of a family-owned cluster of companies which also includes Proceal, Tilapez and Exporpez. According to Andres Macias Rubio, head of Tilapez operations in Spain, the group started exporting 15 years ago, initially selling fresh tilapia to the United States. “The United States and Canada continue to be our biggest international buyers. But now we are also present in the English and Spanish markets,” he said. The pioneering cluster has a strong presence on the Columbian domestic market, but exports are the main business. Roughly 65% of total production is sold abroad. One of the turning points for Comepez’s international expansion was the 4-star certification from the Global Aquaculture Alliance's Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), that the company obtained in 2011. “Our fish has no antibiotics, no hormones and no water, a quality standard that assures our presence in the international markets.” Thanks to Comepez and other big players of aquaculture in the department of Huila, tilapia is more important to the region now than coffee, the historic major export from Colombia. “Luckily the government understood the importance that tilapia and trout acquired in the country, helping companies like ours to open new markets abroad,” said Andres Macias Rubio. On the European market, Comepez is now the Colombian aquaculture’s spearhead. Besides the markets it already covers, the company has plans to expand to Belgium, France and Germany in the future. Contacts have also already beeen established with Asian markets. Through their partnership with

Costco in Great Britain, its tilapia has arrived on the shelves of Iceland’s supermarkets. Comepez’s – and Colombian tilapia, in general – biggest competitors are companies from Brazil, Honduras – such as Regal Springs – and the Norwegian salmon exporters. But Andres Macias Rudio is betting on the quality of Comepez products to keep the company growing. “We have a terrific climate and can produce the whole year with great quality. And we’re lucky to have in Colombia a good availability of air freight companies that deliver our products, and key partners that work with us locally. So, we’re continuously trying to improve our standard and evolve with the market.”

NEW THINKING BEHIND ANCHORING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Photo: SAIC

A consortium of engineering experts in Scotland is developing innovative anchoring technology for the aquaculture industry which could enhance the sector’s environmental impact

Sustainable Marine Energy Ltd, the tidal energy technology specialist; the University of Dundee, marine equipment supplier Gael Force Group, and the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC) are exploring the development of a ‘groutless’ anchoring approach, derived from techniques currently used in highly energetic marine energy sites. The technology could significantly support the aquaculture industry in finding ways to anchor farms in new locations. While concrete or steel anchors are suitable for existing sites, the technology will increase the options available for high-energy locations, as well as those further from the shore, with solid rock on the seabed. “For some time we have seen applications in other sectors that would benefit from adaptations to our rock anchoring technology. For us, this project brings together a very strong Scottish team of project partners with the appropriate skill set and experience to develop the right rock anchoring solution for the aquaculture market. Together, we can quickly begin to unlock the sector’s latent potential, by opening up areas hitherto unsuitable for aquaculture farms,” said Andy Hunt, Chief Engineer for Anchoring and Connectivity at Sustainable Marine Energy. Focussed on reducing the cost, weight, and environmental impact of anchoring, the new approach will use much lighter anchors which form a mechanical ground lock without the need for resin or grout. The reduction in weight allows operators to use more modestly-sized, readily available vessels for deployment. Using a remotely-operated drilling rig positioned from a workboat also enables operators to be more precise with installation in deep-water, high-energy sites. The use of lownoise rotational drilling would minimise disturbance to the marine ecosystem and damage to the seabed, while the anchors would be fully removable and potentially re-usable. “This type of anchor technology allows deployment in more 28 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

8 If successful, new ‘groutless’ anchoring techniques could provide more options for aquaculture in high-energy locations, both further offshore and over solid rock seabed areas

energetic environments and in deeper water, with increased confidence with respect to performance on solid rock. The challenge from an engineering perspective is to develop an anchor that is efficient, easy to design and works in variety of rock types and rock mass conditions. While it is easy to design a heavy and expensive rock anchor that works well in all scenarios, we need to refine the anchoring system specifically for aquaculture application,” explained Michael Brown, Reader at the University of Dundee’s Geotechnical Engineering Research Group. “To achieve this, we will use both scale-model testing and calibrated numerical simulation of the rock anchor systems under realistic operational conditions. This is a specialist area of expertise at the University of Dundee, currently being used to develop foundation and anchoring systems for tidal stream generators and future floating wind farms.” Adoption of the technology would allow fish and shellfish farms to look at areas which are currently unsuitable for use. Locating operations in deeper, higher energy waters could potentially help to reduce gill health issues among fish, the spreading of sea lice, and disease risk. It could also lead to an increase in the industry’s capacity, by allowing the development of larger farms. “This technology could prove a real breakthrough for aquaculture in Scotland, enhancing sustainability in the industry and unlocking some of its latent potential,” commented Polly Douglas, Aquaculture Innovation Manager at SAIC. “If successful, the new anchoring technique would support the industry in meeting many of the Scottish Government’s long-term ambitions for the sector, providing a sustainable foundation on which we can double the economic contribution and number of people employed in aquaculture between 2016 and 2030. It builds on many of our previous projects around the prevention of sea lice, gill health, and environmental impact by adopting approaches taken in other sectors and applying them to aquaculture.” For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

NEW PORTAL SHEDS LIGHT ON NORWEGIAN SALMON FARMING The impacts of salmon farming – on land and at sea – are being highlighted thanks to a new sustainability web portal in Norway, reports Bonnie Waycott

Photo: Frank Gregersen

In 2014, FAO statistics showed that aquaculture had surpassed global capture fisheries production. As the world's fastest growing food sector, aquaculture provides just over 50% of the fish supply for human consumption today. The FAO now predicts that by 2050, the world's population will reach 9.7 billion, with the need for protein expected to grow by 40%. At the same time, however, the actual demand for protein is expected to double. Fish, in particular farmed salmon, is seen as one way of meeting this demand. In Norway, the farmed salmon industry has been evolving substantially since the 1970s and is now one of the country's biggest export industries. But since the industry's early days, Norwegian authorities have been concerned with its environmental impacts, how profitable it could become and whether it could provide employment and sustain livelihoods, particularly in rural areas. Some sustainability challenges stemming from the early days of Norwegian salmon farming have been resolved, including specific diseases and the need for antibiotics but others, such as the impact on wild fish and sufficient contributions to local jobs and incomes, still remain.

IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY AND SOCIETY? With sustainability a fundamental prerequisite for aquaculture, hopes are high that a new sustainability portal for the Norwegian salmon industry will help increase knowledge of the impacts of salmon farming, and contribute to a fact-based public discussion on the industry's benefits and risks. "The portal presents indicators across twenty themes on how Norway's salmon and trout aquaculture affect three dimensions of sustainability – environment, economy and society," said project leader Kine Mari Karlsen, Senior Researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (NOFIMA). "The indicators have been chosen to cover substantial aspects of each theme. They are clearly related to aquaculture and not strongly affected by other activities or factors. The data used for the indicators are already publicly available and come from authoritative sources like public authorities and research institutions."

8 The aquaculture industry recognised the need to have access to sustainability status reports.

30 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

The aim of the project is to provide users with easy access to a variety of facts on Norwegian salmon farming and increase their understanding of how salmon farming affects the economy, society and the environment. Developed by researchers from Nofima and SINTEF Ocean, with developers from BarentsWatch and Bouvet, the idea of a sustainability portal came about after the aquaculture industry recognised the need to have access to sustainability status reports. The portal's environmental themes include data on salmon lice, disease, fish mortality, utilisation of residual raw materials and escape. Economic themes include the contribution to GDP, profitability, feed composition and origin and efficiency, production value and costs while society themes cover certifications, occupational injuries, area use, employment and taxes. Users can also see trends that are occurring within several fields and how different aspects of salmon farming have evolved. For example, the themes include what may be termed positive and negative effects of salmon faming, such as employment and escapes but the trends for the indicators could turn this positive/negative theme on its head. In other words, if employment is going down it is negative, and if the number of escapes are going down it is positive. But despite this information, Kine Mari Karlsen says no overall conclusion can be drawn from the portal on how sustainable Norwegian salmon farming actually is. "The portal presents indicators for many themes but does not give an overall assessment of whether or to what degree Norwegian salmon farming is sustainable," she said. "There are several reasons for this. For some themes, we can say when they surely are sustainable, in an isolated manner. For example, if there are no escapees, that would be sustainable in an isolated sense. But if there are some escapees, where is the sustainability limit? We don't usually have a clear answer to that. Also, for some of the themes, the indicators are only at a national level while for others, regional indicators are included. It's then not possible to define a sustainability limit at a certain level, for example, because natural and social conditions vary greatly across Norway. Also, the status and development of

regional and local data for more indicators, to make the portal more useful for local and regional planning and management." Since its launch, the portal has garnered an array of positive feedback from Norway, Europe and North America. Public authorities, aquaculture industry suppliers and municipal planners have found it easy to find information and describe the portal as being able to point out the challenges facing Norwegian salmon farming today. Others have found it useful in areas such as coastal planning, and expressed high hopes that it will be an important input in the debate over Norway's salmon aquaculture. Financed by the Norwegian Seafood Research Fund, the Sustainability in Aquaculture Portal is hosted on the Barentswatch platform (www.barentswatch.no), which has been established to collect, develop and share information about Norwegian coastal and marine areas.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK The themes and indicators were selected based on a survey and an iterative process among the project researchers, in addition to input from a quality assurance group with members from academia and an environmental NGO, as well as a group with members from the aquaculture industry. Over 600 respondents were asked which topics would be most important to assess sustainability and what would be important for the portal's credibility. A mixture of the importance of various themes, how well the available data and indicators substantially covered a theme, and how suitable it could be for presentation in an online portal for a general audience all played a part in deciding what themes to include. "The portal was launched in December 2018," Kine Mari Karlsen said. "The second phase of the project will involve updating indicators, automating data collection and presentation as much as possible and coming up with other themes and indicators to add. We will also consider presenting

different indicators may need to be weighed up against each other, as achieving sustainability in one area may reduce sustainability in others." For each theme, the portal's web page includes a short introduction and key figures that typically cover the latest full year, followed by the indicators for each theme, which are represented as graphs. There is also information on data sources and where to go for further information. Some of the indicators are updated automatically every week or month after regular monitoring and reporting. Others come from data from research projects that are only updated at irregular intervals.

AQUACULTURE

UNDERWATER FORECASTS: TEMPERATURE, SALINITY AND MORE A new computer model is giving aquaculture a lifeline as it seeks to adapt to ever-changing undersea conditions, reports Bonnie Waycott In the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington and British Columbia) a range of marine species including salmon, crabs, oysters and clams, have been thriving in stable marine conditions. But over the years, climate change has had substantial impacts in the area, changing biodiversity and promoting toxic algal blooms. Industries such as aquaculture and commercial fishing have also been affected. Ultimately for fishermen and fish farmers, knowing about conditions underwater in advance is key. Now, a group of scientists at the University of Washington (UW) has developed a new computer model that predicts complex undersea interactions and conditions underwater. LiveOcean simulates water properties and ocean currents in the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest. It currently covers various important coastal estuaries such as Willapa Bay and the large fjord-estuary system known as the Salish Sea, which contains Puget Sound and the Strait of Georgia. Each day, it creates realistic three-day forecasts for the region like a weather forecast model. These are then made available online to the public and other researchers. "The programme started about five years ago when Washington State decided to respond to the issue of ocean acidification," said Parker McCready, LiveOcean lead researcher and Professor of Oceanography at the University of Washington. "The Washington Ocean Acidification Center at the University of Washington was then established to coordinate a number of research projects, including the creation of short-term forecasts of ocean acidification." LiveOcean focuses on the local shellfish industry and two managed species in particular - oysters and razor clams. Pacific oyster farming is one of the biggest industries in the coastal and inland estuaries that are covered by the LiveOcean model, and scientists have found that larval oysters cannot survive in water that is too corrosive for them to generate their shells. The razor clam is another key species and an important, recreational, commercial and subsistence fishery in areas covered by LiveOcean. Although they feed on all phytoplankton in the surf zone, they sometimes eat the diatom Pseudonitzschia, which forms a neurotoxin called Domoic Acid. This is poisonous to anyone who eats the clams. Today, LiveOcean is part of a system used by shellfish managers in Washington and Oregon to ensure safe razor clam harvests and high water quality for oyster farming. "With the oysters, we've found that levels of aragonite are particularly low in the local waters they grow in, but aragonite is necessary because it's the form of calcite that larval oysters use to make their shells," said Parker. "So LiveOcean forecasts aragonite levels, as well as other measures of water quality and microplankton. For the razor clams, Live Ocean predicts when water from known Pseudo-nitzschia growth areas offshore might reach nearby beaches." Running daily on a UW supercomputer, LiveOcean also generates three-day forecasts of sea level, currents, temperature and salinity, and simulates biology and chemistry including nitrate, phytoplankton, organic particles and dissolved oxygen. By taking in information about the state of the ocean, atmosphere and rivers on any given day, it uses the law of 32 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

physics to predict how underwater conditions are likely to change. Data on currents, temperature and salinity on the seaward edges of the LiveOcean domain come from a global ocean forecast model called the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model or HYCOM, which is run by the US Navy, while data on atmosphere, including winds, sunlight and clouds, is generated from a regional forecast model. Other information such as river flow data comes from observations and short-term forecasts made by US and Canadian agencies.Parker and his team also conduct regular tests to see how the model is working. For aquaculture, understanding how climate change is linked to threats to water quality and fish health is essential to predicting where and when certain areas might be damaging to species and farms. LiveOcean also uses particle tracking codes to simulate the spread of invasive species such as the European Green Crab, and could help industries like shellfish farming gain a deeper understanding of the potential impacts of changing undersea conditions on their work, allowing them to adapt farming schedules before more permanent solutions can be established. Daily forecast movies can also be viewed on the LiveOcean website, but in order to make the forecast fields more relevant to the decisions made by people such as fish farmers, Parker and his team are engaging in conversations with users, in particular shellfish growers, to learn more about what metrics they would like to see. "There is a growing cohort of daily forecast models in coastal areas around the world," said Parker. "LiveOcean is designed to do the best possible job at predicting the coastal ocean. It's also designed to easily allow further refinement: nested sub-models of specific estuaries where finer spatial resolution is required." Feedback has been enthusiastic and positive. At a recent shellfish growers' conference where LiveOcean was presented,

audience members praised the computer programme but requested that the information be made available in simpler forms and more directly relevant to shellfish growers. One way of achieving this would be to make maps of both seasonal patterns and daily forecasts for where it is "good or bad" to set out oyster seed based on a range of parameters such as salinity or aragonite saturation state. Parker McCready and his team are working to combine LiveOcean with satellite-based observations to better predict harmful algal blooms on the outer Washington-Oregon coast. This is currently being done in partnership with the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. Hopes are high that it can be adapted to help predict harmful algal blooms that are a major concern for Scotland's salmon aquaculture. A different ocean model system has been developed independently for the Scottish coast and sea lochs where salmon aquaculture is concentrated (the Scottish Shelf Model). Parker and his team hope that strategies for merging transport maps and water properties from ocean models, as well as maps of plankton abundance from satellites, will be portable. "The model is always evolving and improving, based on new information sources, comparisons with data and increasing computer power," said Parker. "In the next year we will also be adding high resolution submodels of several areas such as Willapa Bay and South Puget Sound, both important shellfish aquaculture areas. LiveOcean is designed to forecast the carbon chemistry that shapes ocean acidification, and will be useful for testing future scenarios where atmospheric carbon dioxide increases. It could be run to test other scenarios if needed. There is always room for

improvement, however, and top of the list right now is to do more comparisons with data concerning carbon chemistry and to better define uncertainty metrics in our forecasts." "Having said that, however, the model has many possible uses," he continued. "Our goal is to make it relevant to as many groups as possible, not only shellfish farmers but also fishermen or beachgoers."

CAGE CLEANING TECHNOLOGY FOR TOP SALMON PRODUCER It is in the vitally important area of cage hygiene that MOWI in Ireland have opted for technology provided by Norwegian firm MPI (Multi Pump Innovation) and their Racemaster. This is a remote-controlled robot with pressurised water jets powered by a Volvo D500 engine under a canopy combined with a Hughes pump, to ensure that all marine growth is removed. Capable of cleaning an entire cage in just over an hour, this equipment requires just one operator sitting in front of a monitor and guiding the cleaning head as it travels along the sides and bottom of the cage. “This kind of cage cleaning technology is the future for Irish fish farming and will be vital in the progress and continuity in maintaining the highest standards in farm management” said Liam Doherty, MOWI Northwest Marine Operations Manager. MOWI has continued in the development in Ireland that began in 1979 in Fanad Fisheries in Donegal and has now expanded to include the Lough Swilly, Mulroy Bay and Inver sites, as well as other full production sites in counties Mayo, Cork and Kerry, all of which rear organically produced salmon. Organic means more than simply chemical-free production, and this also takes in fish density and feed patterns – and cage cleanliness. Based near Oslo, MPI has grown with the aquaculture sector and has witnessed the rapid growth in this industry over the past two decades. This meant that the company has been ideally placed to develop and research a product that could remove the highly labour-intensive and expensive chore of manually bringing gear ashore to be washed – and the first generation RONC was born – a fairly primitive but fully functioning automated cleaning system that fish farmers welcomed with open arms. “We used the RONC for over four years before moving up to MPI’s Racemaster for the past two seasons,” explained MOWI’s Scraggy Bay site manager Kevin Friel, adding that any glitches that the RONC might have had have been ironed out with the Racemaster. “You can certainly see the difference with the nets. One sweep of the Racemaster and all marine growth is completely removed and this cleaning is so important for us because of the obvious factor of keeping growth away and ensuring good filtration of fresh oxygenated water, and if growth is allowed develop on the cages then our cleaner fish cease to do their job of eating lice off the salmon and instead focus on feeding on the marine growth,” he said. The Racemaster requires just one operator in front of a single screen but in the case of MOWI’s system, where they are constantly going from cage to cage, alternating between two operators for each cage and this, explained senior operator Declan McAteer is to ensure that full attention is paid to the job in hand. “The Racemaster does a great job but as in any such technology, its only as good as the man behind it – focusing intensely on a screen for over an hour is mentally tiring, no matter what job you are doing, so myself and Declan Duffy take turns after each cage to ensure there’s a fresh set of eyes in control,” he said. “We did experience some minor operational issues in the early days of the RONC system but that’s to be expected with relatively new technology and the first generation of equipment – but nowadays, since getting the Racemaster system, this really does an excellent job.” Liam Doherty commented that keeping marine growth to a minimum is a constant challenge. 34 | JULY/AUGUST 2019

“Uncontrolled growth not only stifles fresh water current but can also result in brittle pieces of growth being inhaled by the fish and causing minor gill bleeds with can then potentially result in disease,” he said. “We have yet to see any product that can clean our cages as efficiently as MPI’s Racemaster does, “ he commented, adding that this technology has performed so well that it has prompted MOWI to invest in another complete cleaning head and full power pack for its Castletownbere, Co. Cork sites. “Another major benefit for us with this system is that we can now have it permanently on board our own vessel which has become a dedicated cleaning vessel which we can not only move cage to cage, but from site to site.”

ALGAE-BASED OMEGA-3 BOOSTS SUSTAINABILITY

Photo: Corbion

AlgaPrime DHA, an algae-based food manufactured by Corbion, has been successfully trialled in shrimp feed produced by Thai Union Group. AlgaPrime DHA is a sustainably produced, algae-based source of long-chain omega-3s which helps improve omega-3 traceability and reduces the fish-in fish-out ratio of farmed seafood. "Our new opportunity with Thai Union demonstrates our continued commitment to sustainability," said Chris Haacke, global aquaculture lead at Corbion. "Shrimp farming is one of the fastest growing sectors in the aquaculture industry, and AlgaPrime DHA has the potential to offer shrimp farmers assurance in traceability and sustainability of their feed, while also allowing them to add beneficial omega-3s to their product." Shrimp farming currently consumes approximately 100,000 tonnes of fish oil annually, predominantly because fish oil contains DHA, a key ingredient in shrimp growth and development. Global demand for omega-3s is growing rapidly but the availability of omega-3s from their current source â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wild-caught fish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is limited. Since 2016, Corbion has been producing AlgaPrime DHA at a large industrial scale to

SEINER/TRAWLER’S ELECTRIC DECK PACKAGE Built at TB Shipyards in Harlingen for Maarten van Duijn, Annalijdia LT-43 is a combined twin-rigger/fly-shooter designed to operate in the North Sea and English Channel

Photo: TB Shipyards

A Vestværft design, Annalijdia has a 37.51 metre overall length and a beam of 8.70 metres. TB Shipyards acted as the main contractor responsible for co-ordinating sub-contractors and delivering the completed vessel. Annalijdia is one of the latest generation of fishing vessels capable of alternating stern trawling and fly-shooting, using electrical winch systems that are becoming increasingly popular. VCU’s TCD technical division developed the pioneering Ósey Urk winch arrangement for Annalijdia. When requests started to come in for electric winches, TCD was presented with the challenge of coming up with a solution and found the answer with local company Dromec, which has a background in building small electric winches and capstans, and which has built up a strong reputation in dredging and offshore sectors as its product line has expanded. “We discussed with them and they were confident this could be done,” said TCD’s Lourens de Boer, explaining that they were reluctant to go down the route of working with clutches, and instead had the challenge of developing the gearboxes and electric motors that could combine freewheeling rope off the drums to shoot away with high-torque, low-speed hauling capability. “Dromec came up with an electrical package and we supplied the winches,” he said. “The electric system is marginally more expensive, but there are many advantages,’ he said. ‘It’s very simple to build in an autotrawl system. The trials all went well, especially showing that we can maintain a constant tension on the ropes during shooting and hauling.” TCD delivered a pair of winches capable of holding 3700 metres of 50mm seine rope, which can also be used for twinrigging with Dyneema warp, plus a centrally mounted mid-wire winch with capacity for 750 metres of 26mm wire, and which is also prepared for Dyneema warp. The package also includes twin 12m3 net drums built into the aft gantry, with Dromec supplying the drives and control systems. “An important feature of the electric winch control is that shooting is at a controlled high speed and tension, and the drum

is not clutched out of the motor,” Lourens de Boer said, commenting that the control system incorporates automatic wire spooling, automatic shooting with tension control, automatic hauling at equal speed and tension and programmed hauling speeds. Annalijdia’s catch handling system is supplied by TCD, and this is designed to be able to handle flatfish catches in significant quantities as promptly as possible during the summer, while also having capacity to handle smaller catches of a greater variety of species while fly-shooting in the winter months. TCD’s designers developed the layout with reception facilities for both quantity and variety during the sorting process, with a rotary washer system. Once the client had approved the design and layout, the catch handling system was constructed at TCD’s stainless steel workshops in Urk, and then installed and commissioned at TB Shipyards in Harlingen. The setup includes VCU’s catch management system in the fishroom, where fish are weighed and each box registered, with the data shared with the VCU CatchManagement software in Annalijdia’s wheelhouse. VCU’s refrigeration engineers fitted the fishroom cooling system and also supplied and fitted one seawater flake ice maker and a slurry ice machine.

Cooke Aquaculture in Atlantic Canada has a number of fish farms located in protected waters around the Maritime Provinces, and needed to secure transport of supplies and gear between the farms and the shore. To meet the requirements of serving its farm locations, Cooke Aquaculture went to Poseidon Marine Consultants Ltd to develop a 12 by 6 metre powered barge design. Based on an earlier vessel, three boats are now being built in steel, with an aluminium houses located forward to leave flat decks aft. The vessel’s 1.4 metre molded depth provides buoyancy for significant loads while maintaining a relatively shallow draft. A Palfinger 18500M crane and two vertical capstans ease cargo and net handling. A 280hp Cummins QSL9 main engine turning a 32x20-inch four-blade propeller through a ZF3053 gear with 2.5:1 ratio provides propulsion power. This gives the barge a speed of eight knots. The engines were supplied and installed by Philip Leblanc Diesel from Nova Scotia who also completed the installation review and seatrials. A 12.5kW Phasor generator provides auxiliary power. Tank capacities are for 2300 litres of fuel and
