NEW HORIZONS

Fuelled by a spell of warm weather, a sudden surge of algae has hit Norway’s salmon industry hard, with an estimated eight million salmon killed off in the space of a single week and the salmon sector left counting the cost.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a natural phenomenon that can be triggered by a number of factors, including but not limited to weather, currents, nutrients and algae composition.

In this instance, the algal blooms spread rapidly through the prime salmon farming regions of northern Norwegian waters, with the algae sticking to the fishes’ gills and suffocating them. Unlike wild fish, the caged salmon cannot swim to deeper waters to

avoid such challenges. Official estimates at the end of May put the preliminary mortality at more than 10,000 tonnes of salmon worth around NoK 620 million, although the expectation has been that the final tally of losses could be significantly higher as the blooms continued to spread.

The initial loss of eight million fish that still had a great deal of growth ahead of them has been put at being equivalent to 40,000 tonnes of marketable salmon, with a first-sales value well in excess of NoK 2 billion.

Two versatile new fishing vessels have joined the fleet working from Lorient in Brittany. Marie-Lou was delivered in March and has been followed by sister vessel Le Dolmen. Built at the Padmos yard in Holland for fishing company APAK, the two new combination trawler/seine netters are designed to rotate across a number of fisheries, including pelagic pair trawling for tuna during the summer months.

The two are also equipped to operate as flyshooters and will work on demersal species in the Bay of Biscay for part of the year. The decision by APAK to add seine netting to its fishing methods means that the two new vessels can land higher quality catches while operating with a greater fuel economy.

Doing what comes naturally

In fact, every now and again, nature takes a real delight in doing the opposite of what’s expected of it, but that’s nature doing what comes naturally

The algal blooms that have suffocated thousands of tonnes of Norwegian salmon over the last few weeks have been described as a crisis, or as a disaster. For the aquaculture companies that are taking a hit, for the sub-contractors around them and for those who rely on them for work, it’s certainly a hefty kick in the teeth.

Is it a disaster? No lives have been lost – at least, no human lives. There’ll be a period of turmoil as the pieces are picked up, no doubt there’s a stack of money that’s been lost somewhere along the line and nobody’s happy.

Let’s say that for those at the centre of all this it’s definitely a crisis.

Algal blooms are a natural phenomenon. In past centuries they were seen as a blight sent as a punishment for some transgression or other.

These days we know better – not that understanding the cause is going to stop them happening, but now we at least know how and why they occur.

It’s all too easy to forget that nature is perfectly capable of throwing handfuls of spanners into the works.

In fact, every now and again, nature takes a real delight in doing the opposite of what’s expected of it, but that’s nature doing what comes naturally.

When you’re on deck with a bit of wind and rain to keep you awake, or peering into the darkness beyond the wheelhouse window trying to figure out where that next breaker’s going to come from, there’s a closer connection with the sheer energy of natural forces at work.

With the coffee machine within reach, heating at a perfect 20°C and deep in a comfortable chair, it’s so easy to become insulated from the world outside. It’s far too easy to become declutched from the natural world that’s red in tooth and claw and doesn’t owe us anything at all – and it’s out there, just the other side of the double glazing.

It’s very easy to lose sight of how puny humans and their endeavours are compared to the power that nature regularly unleashes when the conditions click into place, and it’s pure hubris to imagine that we have that much of a say over the forces that are at work under our feet.

The fact that we actually understand the mechanics of nature better than any humans who have preceded us should make us respect it more, not less.

LOW TROPHIC AQUACULTURE IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Quality Fishing Gear and Service tailored to your needs

More than seventy scientists and industry professionals from 16 countries gathered in Tromsø to launch the EU-funded AquaVitae project.

Over the next four years, they will work to increase aquaculture production of low-trophic species, in and around the Atlantic Ocean, in sustainable ways.

AquaVitae is a new research and innovation project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme. The project consortium consists of 36 partners, from 16 different countries, spread across four continents.

“It’s an exciting challenge to bring together industry and research partners from across the length and breadth of the Atlantic to address relevant societal challenges,” said project co-ordinator Philip James, a senior scientist at Nofima, the Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research.

With a total budget of €8 million, this is the second largest EU project ever co-ordinated by Nofima.

The project’s purpose is to introduce new low trophic species, products and processes in marine aquaculture value chains across the Atlantic. The five chosen value chains include macroalgae, 6 | JUNE 2019

Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA), echinoderm species (such as sea urchins), shellfish and finfish. IMTA is a process that farms several species together using waste from one species as feed for another.

“The value chains were selected because of their promising contributions to sustainable food and feed production. There is a lot of potential in these value chains and we wish to discover new ways to improve them,” Philip James said.

This correlates with recommendations made in the Food from the Oceans report (2017), which highlighted the need to expand low- and multi-trophic marine aquaculture as an ecologically efficient source of increasing food and feed.

To complete the objectives, 11 case studies will be conducted across the Atlantic, with emphasis on developing new products from low-trophic species such as macroalgae and sea urchins, optimising production in existing industries (shellfish and finfish) and moving towards zero waste and a circular economy in aquaculture.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

MILLIONS OF NORWEGIAN SALMON WIPED OUT Eight million salmon were killed in the space of just one week as a massive algae bloom continued to rack up fish farming mortalities in northern Norway as WF went to press. Official estimates made towards the end of May put the preliminary mortality at more than 10,000 tonnes of salmon worth around NOK 620 million, but authorities expect the final losses to be a great deal higher as the algae continues to spread. Indeed, with a lot more growing to do, the 8 million fish that have already been lost would equate to approximately 40,000 tonnes of market-size salmon with a first-sales value well in excess of NOK 2 billion.

With less product available for end markets, Norway’s harmful algal bloom (HAB) is likely to have implications for the broader supply chain and for the prices paid for the product in the short to medium-term.

According to Kolbjørn Giskeødegård, senior analyst at Nordea Bank, the country produced 1.25 million tonnes of salmon last year and was forecast to increase its harvest to 1.32 million tonnes this year, most of which would be exported.

As it stands, the algae problem has already removed between 2 and 4% of that 5% growth, he told the Aquaculture’s Global Outlook: Embracing Internationality conference in Scotland, adding that right up to the bloom, the global salmon supply was growing at a rate of 6.6% and a total harvest of 2.58 million tonnes had been estimated for 2019 as a whole.

In addition to Norway, algae surges had also been seen in Scottish farming waters in recent weeks, although the scale of salmon losses is believed to be significantly lower than Norway’s.

UNDERSTANDING THE ENEMY HABs involve toxic or other harmful phytoplankton and can cause adverse effects to a wide variety of aquatic organisms, including marine mammals and seabirds, and of course finfish. Not only do the blooms suffocate the fish by removing oxygen from the water, some plankton species have sharp spicules that can damage gill tissue, making fish stocks more susceptible to disease.

Though expert opinions on the main cause of HABs are still divided, it’s generally accepted that in the majority of cases they are a natural phenomenon and can occur in diverse habitats, ranging from relatively pristine offshore waters to nutrientenriched near shore sites. Crucially, regular bloom events have been documented in regions where fish farming doesn’t take place.

Norway’s Institute of Marine Research (IMR) has determined that harmful blooms of the phytoplankton Chrysochromulina leadbeateri are responsible for the salmon deaths in the counties of Nordland and Troms. This species of algae is common along the Norwegian coast and floats freely in the water. It’s also not the first time it has been linked to salmon deaths in that part of Norway, with a large bloom in May and June of 1991, and a smaller one in May 2008.

Studies suggest this algae excretes haemolytic compounds and when these come into contact with the gills of the fish; they cause damage that may result in the fish not absorbing enough oxygen and eventually dying. At moderate concentrations (below fatal levels), the algae may cause changes in the 8 | JUNE 2019

A sudden surge of algae has left salmon farmers counting the costs, but the sector is not at fault for the crisis, writes Jason Holland

behaviour of the fish – they swim up to the surface and gasp for air. By observing behavioural changes and fish deaths, IMR’s scientists hope to get a clearer idea of where the blooms are occurring.

“We are monitoring the situation carefully by collecting data from the affected areas. By combining this information with models of ocean currents, we are trying to keep fish farmers informed about where the algal bloom will spread to,” said LarsJohan Naustvoll, a marine scientist and expert on algae at IMR. With so many factors involved, Naustvoll stressed that it’s difficult to say with any certainty how the situation will develop or how long the problem would persist.

“The duration of an algal bloom depends on the environmental conditions. When they are no longer optimal, most of the algae die, leaving too few to cause any harm,” he said.

8 Algal bloom victims: The full extent of the salmon mortality due to harmful algal blooms in Norwegian waters is not yet clear

AQUACULTURE’S NOT TO BLAME While suggestions have come from some environmental groups that fish farming could be a contributing factor to the bloom problem in Norway, IMR has conducted a review of the amount of aquaculture in the areas that are or have been affected by the HAB and has determined that it was probably not caused by aquaculture.

However, the institute added that it cannot be ruled out that emissions of inorganic nutrients from fish farms may prolong the bloom. Fish release surplus inorganic nutrients through their gills and urine.

There are fish farms in both Ofotfjorden (Nordland) and Astafjorden (Troms), but their emissions are too low to provide sufficient nutrients for an algal bloom of the size being experienced, highlighted IMR. The aquaculture in Ofotfjorden is less intensive than in many other Norwegian fjords, with an average of 16 tonnes of fish/km2 over the past two years. While the aquaculture intensity is higher in Astafjorden, with an average of 51.5 tonnes fish/km2 in 2017-2018, this is still well within the range to present only a low risk.

INSIGHT

RECOGNISING THE HAB THREAT While sea lice challenges have grabbed the headlines in recent years, with the naturally occurring parasite costing salmon producers hundreds of millions of dollars on an annual basis, HABs can be just as lethal to stocks – as was seen in southern Chile three years ago,.

In this instance, the HAB-related losses amounted to a massive 25 million fish weighing 40,000 tonnes. Had these fish survived to grow to harvest weight, the actual volume lost was around 100,000 tonnes.

With such high stakes, fish farmers have a number of steps

IMR said there is only a risk of eutrophication when a level of 200 tonnes fish/km2 is reached.

“Inorganic nutrients are important to phytoplankton production, but there are also other factors that play a vital role in algal blooms,” said Naustvoll.

The presence and quantities of harmful algae, the rate of water circulation, vertical stability, weather conditions, grazing marine animals and competition with other species are all factors that affect the ability of a harmful alga to bloom at a given point in time. At the same time, different harmful algae respond differently to an increase in inorganic nutrients.

The dominant alga in a bloom will vary and generally it’s completely harmless, while other times the environmental conditions are more favourable to one of the toxic algae, resulting in a toxic algal bloom like the one currently being experienced, said Naustvoll.

they can take to mitigate their impact if a bloom is detected early enough (increasingly, satellite and remote monitoring systems are also being used to forecast HAB events).

These measures include halting feeding protocols, thereby encouraging fish to stay deeper in the water column; deploying protective barriers around cages; and using compressed oxygen pumps in the cages and pumping up unaffected water from deep below the cage site.

ANALYSIS

MAHÉ REGIONAL SEMINAR EXAMINES IUU FISHING AND DECENT WORK Decent work in the fisheries sector has been receiving greater attention and linkages between labour abuses and IUU fishing have been increasingly recognised internationally

©FAO/Kambou

Notably the FAO Committee on Fisheries and the FAO/ International Maritime Organizations (IMO) ad hoc Joint Working Group on IUU fishing and related matters, which has suggested stronger co-operation between the FAO, International Labour Organization (ILO) and International Maritime Organization (IMO), has highlighted that appalling working conditions do exist within the fisheries sector.

Labour and human rights abuses have been reported on board fishing vessels, affecting fish workers often including migrants. Human trafficking and forced labour on board fishing vessels are frequently associated with Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, as are drug trafficking, corruption and other crimes.

Fishing companies are able to act with impunity, using flags of states that are either unable or unwilling to provide protection to fish workers. This can also be coupled with the use of ports with weak or non-existent regulatory controls.

IDENTIFYING ACTIONS FAO and partners have been organising several regional and global events to draw attention to the issues, to forge networking and collaboration between different authorities and organizations, and to identify actions to address these issues.

At joint FAO-Vatican events at FAO Headquarters on World Fisheries Day 2016 and World Fisheries Day 2018 representatives of member states, industry, and stakeholder organisations called for implementation of relevant instruments and for closer cooperation between the different international agencies involved, including FAO, ILO, IMO, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Interpol.

FAO and partners are holding a series of regional technical seminars addressing decent work challenges in the region, and possible ways in which to improve working conditions along ten entire fisheries value chain. The first regional technical seminar was held in the Philippines for countries across Asia. This has been followed by a recent regional technical seminar addressing IUU fishing, Decent Work and Safety at Sea in Mahé, the Seychelles.

Located off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, where it hosts the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) headquarters, the Seychelles offers an excellent opportunity for many experts and stakeholders in the fisheries sector to participate.

The technical seminar, organised by FAO and the Apostleship of the Sea, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), met 21st-23rd May, with the participation of experts and stakeholders from fisheries, labour and port administrations as well as from industry, civil society organisations and unions from ten African countries in the region; Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Réunion (France), Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Zanzibar. The meeting was organised with the support of the International Transport Federation (ITF).

At the Mahé regional seminar, fishery inspectors, labour inspectors, port authorities, fishworker unions, employers, and international agencies were able to get together to identify issues to be addressed, and actions to be taken, with regional calls for action discussed in the ad hoc joint IMO, FAO, ILO joint working group on IUU fishing and FAO’s Committee on Fisheries.

abuse, forced labour and child labour, there are international instruments in place that provide support to these efforts, including the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (P029), the ILO Work in Fishing Convention (C188), which specifically addresses fish workers and the IMO Cape Town Agreement on the Safety of Fishing Vessels is one of IMO’s instruments.

FAO's Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing is aimed at combating illegal fishing around the world, and also targets the labour abuses or slave labour that too often accompany these illicit fishing activities.

"The level of engagement on this issue is both encouraging and growing, and we want to keep up this positive momentum and collaboration between the various partners,” said FAO's Felix Martin, speaking about the seminar in Mahé.

“It is important to follow up on this work at international, regional and national levels, and it's important to have stakeholders from governments, seafood industry, fishworker organisations and unions from ten different East African countries working alongside us in the Seychelles to discuss concrete next steps to achieving decent work in the sector throughout the Western Indian Ocean."

Focusing on Fishery Development

RUSSIA’S EMERGING SEAFOOD DELICATESSEN INDUSTRY Since the imposition of the 2014 food embargo, Russia’s production of oysters and mussels has expanded to 17 times its former level, and this looks to be just the beginning

8 Crimean Seafood has expanded its operations

Just five years ago there was no industrial production of oysters in Russia at all, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov. According to data from the Federal Agency for Fisheries, a few mussel farms in the Far East had a combined annual production capacity of around 100 tonnes. During 2014, Russia imported 4200 tonnes of oysters and mussels, the Russian Federal Customs Service (FCS) estimates, almost all from European countries. FCS reckons that prior to the food embargo, Russia was importing around 4.7 million oysters per year, primarily from France.

According to Andrey Levchenko, owner of the Nautilia oyster and mussel farm in Krasnodar Krai, the embargo caused a major upheaval on the Russian seafood market. He explained that as soon as supplies from the European Union dried up, Russian companies started importing from Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, plus some wild oysters and mussels from the Russian Far East became available on the market, but this was not something Russian consumers were fully satisfied with.

“Basically, with the introduction of the food embargo the average quality of oysters in Russia significantly worsened, dragging down the retail price,” he said.

In 2016, under the pressure from the aquaculture business, the Russian authorities took a landmark decision – excluding oyster and mussel broodstock from the list of embargoed products. The production expansion in the industry started almost immediately, with spat imported from France.

12 | JUNE 2019

One of the biggest manufacturers, Crimean Seafood, put 170,000 oysters on the market in 2017 and planned to expand business by purchasing 100 million units of spat in 2018, said the company’s marketing director Vera Nesterova. Crimean Seafood has been seeing a constant growth in demand for oysters in the past few years, and was able to compete with foreign suppliers in terms of price-quality ratio, she said.

In 2018, Russia produced 1200 tonnes of mussels and 500 tonnes of oysters, still not enough to meet domestic demand, but considerably more the country has ever previously produced, according to the Federal Agency for Fisheries. No other foodstuffs production in Russia has grown as fast as the shellfish sector has.

“There is a government import-replacement programme for the aquaculture industry. Overall aquaculture production should grow to 315,000 tonnes per year by 2020, and the production of seafood is expected to be on the rise as well. There are new projects in this segment in the pipeline in the North-West and in Crimea,” said Dmitry Vostrikov, chairman of the Russian Food Union.

THE QUALITY ASPECT In a bid to take advantage of the import-replacement programme, Russian companies did everything they could to provide quality products to the domestic market. Companies such as Crimean Seafood not only started importing oysters For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

NEW HORIZONS

There is a government importreplacement programme for the aquaculture industry. Overall aquaculture production should grow to 315,000 tonnes per year by 2020, and the production of seafood is expected to be on the rise as well. There are new projects in this segment on the pipeline in the North-West and in Crimea from France, but also brought in technologists. Unfortunately, that was not enough.

In 2017, the largest manufacturers of oysters and mussels were located in Crimea. In total, the peninsula produced 358 tonnes of oysters and 604 tonnes of mussels, according to official estimates. Crimea became the centre of the Russian seafood industry since this was one of the few regions with nearperfect environmental conditions.

89 tonnes of oysters and 476 tonnes of mussels were produced in Primorsk Krai in 2017, while Krasnodar Krai produced 55 tonnes of mussels and 19 tonnes of oysters. All other farms are located in the North-Western federal district.

Specialist Regina Borisova commented that Crimea has the same water salinity as France, believed to be the best to grow oysters, and added that oyster spat produced in the Far East is not usable European Russia, due to the higher salinity level.

“Nevertheless, this [salinity in Crimea] is not enough. Oysters produced in Crimea with spat from France may have the similar taste quality, but as a rule they have a lack of meat,” she said.

The problem is that European oysters are grown using unique production techniques that Russian producers have so far failed to replicate. Regina Borisova explained that initially these oysters gain meat on the Atlantic coast, and then they are transferred to cages. The Black Sea conditions are good, but not good enough.

The mussel situation is better as these are found in all Russian waters and are less sensitive, plus mussels are not considered a top-grade product on the Russian food market, so consumers are not seeking a perfect flavour, according to consulting agency Rosselhoz.

In recent years, Russia has imported mussels from New Zealand, China, Chile and Tunisia, but this is declining, according to FCS figures.

While the demand for oysters and mussels has been growing steadily, these are still a niche product. Arkady Novikov, director of the restaurant chain Novikov Group said that customers quite often order oysters these days. He claimed that a big disadvantage of seafood of Russian origin is its rather high price, as domestic oysters can be even more expensive than the imported ones.

“Russian companies take advantage of the absence of European seafood on the domestic market, setting high prices for their products. While the taste of Russian mussels is really good, when it comes to oysters, the flavour is not perfect. In Russia, there is a certain group that purchases oysters, and if they are not perfect, they don’t buy them at all,” commented food industry expert Alina Ivanova.

The implication is that Russia could increase production tenfold, but this would require changes in consumer habits.

“An average customer in Russia still considers shellfish as a salad ingredient and so sales peaks are seen in holiday periods,” Ilya Bereznyuk said.

Since 2015 the government in Crimea has put up for sale 32 lots for seafood farms. So far, only 12 have been sold, and the local government believes the remaining lots could be taken in a few years. This means that both mussel and oyster production in Russia could further grow. The picture is very similar in Krasnodar Krai, where the number of available lots is higher than the number of seafood farms.

The overall capital costs of establishing a mussel farm with a potential 750 tonne annual production could be around Rub40 million ($800,000), Ilya Bereznyuk said. It would take two to three years to get the first yield and the payback period would be several more years.

To an extent, the opportunities are parallel with the development of tourism in the Russian south, Alina Ivanova said.

In 2018, more than half of all mussels and oysters manufactured in Crimea were consumed there. The region has the highest per capita ratio of seafood consumption in the country, and this is primarily provided by both Russian and foreign tourists.

“It is tourists who have enough free money and want to taste something new, like oysters during their vacation. In the short term the further development of the tourist industry in Crimea and Krasnodar Krai would drive up the demand for seafood in these regions,” she added.

BRIGHT OPPORTUNITIES Further growth prospects depend on domestic demand. Both oysters and mussels are currently considered delicatessen products, and so HoReCa remains the main sales channel, Ilya Bereznyuk, managing director of the Agro and Food Communications told the Russian Business Consulting agency.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

KIWI TRAWL TECHNOLOGY APPROVED FOR INSHORE FISHERY Precision Seafood Harvesting is a $48 million, seven-year programme between the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and three fishing companies; Moana New Zealand, Sealord Group and Sanford Limited, to develop a new fishing technology based on science from Plant & Food Research. There are currently ten Sanford and Moana inshore vessels trialling the technology under a special permit. The approval of the MHS for commercial use, allows vessels to transition to using it full-time and additional vessels will adopt the MHS technology.

The aim of the programme when it began back in 2012 was to deliver longline quality inshore fish at lower cost, resulting in higher value for the same volume of fish harvested. Fish are brought on board still swimming inside the technology’s unique liner, so they arrive on a trawler’s deck alive and in peak condition, and with undersized or by-catch fish returned to the water with a good chance of survival.

According to Greg Johansson from the PSH Governance Group, who has worked on the project since the start, the crews testing this new technology don’t want to go back to traditional fishing gear.

“They are excited about this as their future for fishing, and now want to get into it full time to see how they can make it even better,” he said.

For the past 100 years, we’ve had limited visibility of what is occurring inside the trawl net. Now we’re developing underwater monitoring and remote release technology so fishing crews can monitor what they have in the MHS in real time and safely release all the fish inside if a marine mammal swims inside Scientists and fishing crews working on developing the technology have found that fish caught using the MHS are in much better condition and quality when they are landed on board because, unlike traditional mesh-based trawl designs, once inside the MHS underwater the fish are held in conditions of very low velocity water flow.

“Importantly, fish that go through the specially designed escapement holes in the MHS have a better chance of survival than if they go out through traditional trawl mesh,” Greg Johansson said.

“But we’re still only just starting to really see the potential for longer-term biomass gains from either selectivity within the MHS or release post-harvest. Like all new innovations, the development and testing takes longer than anticipated and we’ve still got a lot of work to do.”

The Precision Seafood Harvesting (PSH) technology was the first non-mesh commercial fishing method to be approved for use in New Zealand following changes to the fishing regulations in 2017.

Fisheries New Zealand has approved the use of the Modular Harvest System (MHS) in North Island inshore fisheries for snapper, tarakihi, trevally, red gurnard and John Dory

The technology got the green light for commercial use in deep water hoki, hake and ling fisheries in May last year. Fishing companies Sanford and Sealord now have a total of eight deep water vessels using the technology.

“What we’ve seen in the deep water fisheries is that once the technology is in commercial use, fishing crews continue to build on the work of the scientists to improve the technology and what it can do. We expect this will happen on the inshore vessels too,” Greg Johansson commented.

8 Snapper in the new Precision Seafood Harvesting technology, that’s now approved for commercial use on both inshore and deep water species

KIWI INNOVATION Nathan Reid is the quota and resource manager at fishing company Moana New Zealand, and was part of the initial work exploring alternatives to current trawl methods before the PSH programme was formally established. He said that the programme has not only developed a new way to fish, it’s also seen the team developing further innovations, such as the ability to monitor what’s in their catch in real time while they are fishing.

“For the past 100 years, we’ve had limited visibility of what is occurring inside the trawl net. Now we’re developing underwater monitoring and remote release technology so fishing crews can monitor what they have in the MHS in real time and safely release all the fish inside if a marine mammal swims inside,” he said.

“It’s a great example of how innovation breeds innovation,” Greg Johansson commented. “We’re not just designing a new way to fish, we’re also designing new ways to handle fish on board to maintain their condition right through to the fish counter. We’re supporting new jobs and industry in how vessel design is reimagined, and we’ve created a new industry designing and making the MHS.” “We’ve also developed the Tiaki brand which will be associated with the commercialisation of this method, which represents the care and guardianship that’s behind this new way of fishing.”

The seven-year programme funding period to test and commercialise the technology ends in September, although Nathan Reid said Precision Seafood Harvesting will continue after that date with the fishing companies involved, continuing to develop the technology for commercial use on more vessels around New Zealand.

“The PSH team believes this technology will replace traditional trawl gear for many fisheries,” he said For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

IGUELDO REAPS BENEFITS OF WASSP F3X SONAR

Photo: WASSP

The skipper of squid trawler Igueldo is more than happy with the WASSP F3X system installed during the recent refit.

The 83 metre Igueldo was fitted with a WASSP F3X multibeam sonar system that has demonstrated its capabilities during the Falkland Islands squid season.

“Squid detection is simply perfect. It’s equally as good – if not better – than any other echo sounder. Also, the 3D vision and the hardness of the sea bottom are very good but needs some fine tuning during Igueldo’s next call in Vigo, our home port,” said skipper Miguel Pouseu.

Igueldo’s WASSP F3X system was installed by local dealer Nautical and WASSP’s engineers will continue to work with Igueldo’s skipper and officers to fine-tune the system to suit their requirements Miguel Pouseu commented that even small amounts of squid were being clearly seen on the sounder and recorded on the 3D Bathymetric map.

“The F3X represents a real leap forward in WASSP technology. The WASSP team should be very happy and I fully recommend the F3X,” he said.

The latest model in the F3 range, designed for the commercial fishing industry, the F3X incorporates a number of significant improvements by WASSP’s design engineers.

8 Squid shows up clearly on Igueldo’s WASSP F3X system

It offers significantly more power - over 12 times more than previous F3 models - along with a long pulse time that equates to more energy in the water. In addition to more clarity in shallow and medium depths, the F3X with its 80kHz transducer can operate at depths of

1000 metres mapping of the seafloor and water column targets such as fish schools show clearly at 850 metres.

The F3X also comes with the patent-pending WASSP Interference Management System (IMS) including Advanced Key Pulse (AKP) installed, helping to cut down the interference generated when a number of different sounders and sonar systems are being used.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCED PHYSICS ENGINE BRINGS FISHING SIMULATOR TO LIFE

Images: Kongsberg Digital

Not only have fishing vessels become far more advanced in their design, construction and capabilities, but so has the equipment on board

However, new technology requires a new standard of training if accidents are to be prevented. Unfamiliarity with operational techniques and processes can, in the worst cases, lead to disaster.

Taking into account the pressures faced by fishing crews, it’s clear that it takes a cool head to pursue this occupation with any degree of success; but a steady nerve isn’t the end of it. A high level of training to achieve an equally high level of competence; literally so with the IMO’s introduction some years ago of STCWF certification and minimum training requirements for crews on fishing vessels of 24 metres and above.

Mindful of the complex requirements of any training programme, Kongsberg Digital has developed the K-Sim Fishery Simulator to bring a new degree of authenticity to schooling trainees. Exacting and methodical from the ground up, the simulator satisfies both the STCW-F training preconditions and DNV GL standards for certification of maritime simulator systems (DNV GL ST-0033, Section 14, Fishery Operations) – although the bare stats don’t convey the depth of immersive, hands-on training the K-Sim Fishery Simulator provides.

“The simulator offers a visual and hydrodynamic experience

16 | JUNE 2019

8 The K-Sim fishery simulator developed for Flemish Service for Employment and Vocational Training (VDAB) replicates a beam trawler’s wheelhouse and control systems

which genuinely is as close to the real thing as it’s possible to get without physically being on board a fishing vessel,” observes Mark Treen, VP Sales, Maritime Simulation, Kongsberg Digital. “From the perspective of instructors and trainees alike it’s actually better, because the complete spectrum of training exercises can of course be implemented, monitored and controlled in conditions of complete safety.”

The simulator’s wheelhouse replication enables trainees to thoroughly familiarise themselves with operational and navigational tasks and procedures they will subsequently have to carry out in real-life situations, with the simulator’s advanced physics engine accommodating a range of different environments and fluctuating weather patterns. The simulator can be delivered as a stand-alone system, in a range of configurations including desktop DNV GL Class S and fullmission DNV GL Class A, or integrated as a module within Kongsberg’s other bridge simulators, such as K-Sim Offshore and K-Sim Navigation. It also integrates fully with Simrad’s splitbeam echo sounders, omnidirectional sonars, catch monitoring systems. It can be augmented or reconfigured as required with additional instrumentation or workstations.

Trainees learn how to combine manoeuvring with deck equipment and fishing gear handling which includes trawl, longline and purse seine techniques. Catch monitoring uses the integrated Simrad TV80 catch monitoring system, and catch stowage to ensure stability is part of the simulator’s options.

“There is a high degree of detail in simulation scenarios reproducing purse seine, trawl and longline fishing operations,” Mark Treen said. “Instructors can control weather, current and seabed conditions to expose trainees to the widest variety of contingencies, and exercises can be replayed so that instructors can issue itemised performance assessments.”

AUTHENTIC SIMULATION The K-Sim Fishery simulator aroused immediate interest, and the order for the first simulator was placed by the Lofoten For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

Vocational School in Norway, which will see its simulator installed this year.

“In addition to education in safe and efficient navigation and ship handling for fishing, practice on the simulator’s search and catch instrumentation will help both new and veteran fishermen perform better,” said Finn Axel Hartvigsen, manager of the school’s maritime department.

“The simulator will also enable increased competence and career progression for crew who wish to further develop skills in navigation, and in new and different fishing methods, to meet today’s higher standards of fish quality.”

Off the back of the initial order from the Lofoten Vocational School, Kongsberg Digital signed a new contract in February this year with VDAB (the Flemish Service for Employment and Vocational Training) in Belgium to deliver a Full Mission K-Sim Fishery Simulator.

VDAB specifically requested a system designed for beam trawling, in which stability calculation during operation of the beam trawls and derricks is included to replicate working conditions. To achieve this, Kongsberg Digital is including precise mathematical models of trawls, winches, warps, Marelec trawl control system and other equipment, as well as a visual surround display. DNV GL Class A-certified elements including ECDIS, Radar/ARPA, emergency and distress signals are being fully integrated along with a Simrad multibeam echo sounder.

This K-Sim Fishery simulator will sit alongside VDAB’s two DNV GL Class B bridge simulators and six part-task bridge simulators.

Combined with K-Sim Fishery’s hydrodynamic and stability calculations, the overall experience is designed to contribute to an improved perception and broader understanding of the forces

that can affect a beam trawler. The simulator familiarises trainees with vessel behaviour when hauling and shooting, and requires them to react as instructors introduce challenges, such as simulating fishing gear snagging on a fastener.

“We invested a great deal of forethought, time and effort in ensuring that the beam trawler simulation technology is as adaptable and realistic as possible,” said Kongsberg Digital’s area sales manager Harald Kluken. “K-Sim Fishery represents a move into a new training sector for Kongsberg, where we feel our technology will deliver value in honing operational and navigational skills while drastically reducing the likelihood of accidents.”

LOBSTER FISHING BROTHERS DEPEND ON RELIABLE ENGINES

Photo: Scania

Maine’s lobster industry has a reputation for big catches and tough conditions, under which reliable engines make the difference between profit and loss – and even between life and death

18 | JUNE 2019

lobster supply has increased, the price per kilo has fallen for the fishermen, who now have to bring in even larger catches to support their families.

To get out to the fishing grounds quickly, strong engines are needed with more and more horsepower. Chris’s V8 is his third Scania engine and Jason quite recently began using his first Scania engin, a 13-litre 700hp model.

“We’re dependent on strong, reliable engines in our lobster boats,” Chris said. “An engine that breaks down can cost several days’ fishing, which is very, very tough for us.”

Jason is in total agreement that engine reliability is of the utmost importance for lobster fishing in Maine.

“If you’re 30 miles out to sea, you want to have things you can rely on,” he said, adding that had a non-Scania engine that needed major repairs, so he opted to get a replacement.

“I had several alternative new engines to choose from,” he said.

“Since my brother was mostly satisfied with his Scania engines, I decided to give them a chance. It was the most expensive option, but at the same time it offered me the most horsepower.”

8 Abundant Maine lobster means that prices have fallen, so longer days at sea are needed

The American lobster, Homarus americanus, can grow to 65 centimetres in length and can weigh in at over 20 kilos, making it the world’s heaviest crustacean. It is only found along North America’s Atlantic coast, between Labrador and New Jersey, and currently it’s being seen in numbers never experienced before. Last year, Maine’s 5700 fishermen landed 57,000 tonnes (126 million pounds) of lobster.

Fishing in the unpredictable North Atlantic can be a risky business, handling the strings of heavy steel lobster pots as the weight of one being shot away into the water pulls the next one along behind it – and in Maine there are many gruesome injury stories.

Brothers Chris and Jason Chipman are known as two of Maine’s most skilled lobster fishermen. Chris often uses his 800 horsepower Scania V8 engine to go fishing on the banks rising far out to sea, where others rarely venture.

“I have fished for lobsters since I was six years old and know that it’s a tough job and sometimes also dangerous,” he said.

Fishing for lobsters is the brothers’ blood. Their family has been involved in the industry for generations. At Chipman’s Wharf in the small fishing town of Milbridge, boats continually dock to deliver their catch, unload, load bait for their lobster pots and re-fuel before the next trip out to the fishing grounds.

The two local restaurants close early as the working day of most residents begins before sunrise.

“If I wake up at 5.30 am it feels like I’ve slept away half the day,” Chris said.

Nobody knows for sure why the lobster population has increased so dramatically along the Maine coast in recent years, but it’s believed to be due to a combination of higher water temperatures and a scarcity of cod, the arch enemy of lobster spawn.

For the Chipman brothers, the abundance of lobsters means that they have to spend more and more time at sea. As the

VIKING STAR’S VANCOUVER REPOWER

Photo: G Harris

In 1978 Allied Shipyards of North Vancouver built a series of three big steel purse seiners that have become much-admired classics among the British Columbia fleet, reports Alan Haig-Brown.

In the years since the boats have changed owners and changed names. One, Viking Star, has even shifted from being a dedicated purse seiner to a transport vessel for salmon farms for the Walcan Seafood plant on Quadra Island.

For a forty-year-old vessel quality is also reflected in the maintenance, and when Viking Star’s owners decided on a new engine choosing an in-line 6-cylinder, 4-cycle, Cummins KTA19 marine engine to replace the outdated and tired two-cycle 8V149 Jimmie. At 500hp the new engine matched the original power of the GM engine but the renewed vigour required a new Twin Disc 5170 marine gear. The new gear came in a 5.03 ratio compared to the old ratio of 4.04, so the original three-blade prop was taken from 61.5Dx40P to 61.5x53 to get the torque curve into the right range for maximum performance and efficiency.

The job, carried out at Arrow Shipyards by a team led by Gerry Harris from Infinity Marine Systems of Gibsons, BC involved creating access to the engine room through a door cut in the hull at the waterline. After moving a genset and a couple hydraulic power packs out of the

8 Cutting a gateway in Viking Star’s side allowed fitting the new Cummins without needing to touch the fibreglassed fish hold

way, and with the creative use of come-alongs as well as a lot of careful wrench work, the old came out and the new went in with a minimum

of down time. Using the access through the hull side avoided having to cut into the fibreglassed fish hold.

After only six weeks out of the water, Viking Star was making 11.3 knots on sea trials, up from a previous best of 10 knots and is projected to burn 20% less fuel.

NEW LIQUI MOLY DIESEL BUG REMEDY

8 The new Marine Diesel Protect has proven its effectiveness, according to Liqui Moly’s Carlos TravÊ

Diesel bug is a problem for many vessel owners, compounded by stricter EU directives resulting in no commercially available products against diesel bug on the market since December last year.

German additive manufacturer Liqui Moly responded by launching its new Marine Diesel Protect as a product that meets the new requirements, with the composition adapted to comply with the stricter Chemicals Regulation. “Since the change in the law, many retailers have completely removed the old products from their product ranges. But this did not detract from demand. Accordingly, the additive with its new composition is set to conquer the market,� said Tom Lippmann at German wholesaler Herman Gotthardt GmbH “I've never had a product that sold so well on its own.�

The additive is currently the only non-enzyme based, over-the-counter product on the market.

The Institute for Technical Microbiology Dr. Jutta HĂśffler GmbH tested the new Marine Diesel Protect in various concentrations, according to ASTM EÂ 1259-10 for bacteria, yeasts and fungi, the three typical causes of diesel bug. Tests showed the additive had rapid effects. While microorganisms spread rapidly in the

FOR TARGETED AND OPTIMAL CATCH

Since the change in the law, many retailers have completely removed the old products from their product ranges. But this did not detract from demand.

Accordingly, the additive with its new composition is set to conquer the market water-contaminated diesel without additive, no microorganisms were detectable in the additive-treated fuel after only seven days, and they did not even come back after 21 days. “The additive is highly effective, even in small doses,â€? said Carlos TravĂŠ, who manages Liqui Moly’s worldwide marine business, commenting that one litre of additive per 1000 litres of fuel is sufficient as protection against diesel bug. If diesel bug has already spread, a dosage of 1:200 is enough to put an end to the problem.

In addition to its antibacterial effect, the additive cleans the fuel system, protects it from corrosion and boosts the cetane number.

This makes the engine easier to start and quieter to run.

PROTEUM SHOWS BAUDOUIN 12M26.3 WITH SCR FOR FIRST TIME AT SEAWORK 8 Proteum is bringing the Baudouin 12M26.3 with SCR engine to Seawork

Proteum is taking part in Seawork International 2019 to display for the first time the IMO III compliant Advanced 12M26.3 engine from Moteurs Baudouin.

The heavy duty, four stroke electronic diesel is the most compact and competitively priced of equivalent IMO III EPA IV standard engines. This is due to its modular design and integrated Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

system, which gives operators greater flexibility in installing the engine to the boat.

The redesigned 12M26.3 with SCR provides a cleaner, quieter engine with superior fuel economy and no loss of power; it also offers low speed torque for better manoeuvrability and increased acceleration, while an up to 2% reduction in fuel consumption delivers an extended range of between 2800 and 4700 nm. The M26.3 with SCR electronic range is available in power settings from 331kW (450hp) to 1214 kW (1650hp).

“In the M26.3 range Baudouin has addressed the challenges posed by the latest IMO and EPA standards to achieve cleaner shipping by delivering a practical, affordable and fully compliant propulsion system”, said Neil

Taylor, Head of Sales for Proteum, the UK & Ireland distributor for Moteurs Baudouin.

The UN’s International Maritime Organisation’s Tier III of the IMO NOx regulations aims to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by approximately 70% compared with Tier II. On January 1 2016 IMO Tier III came into force, affecting every new vessel over 500 gross tonnes and with engines more than 130kW. These regulations apply to vessels in North America, the US Caribbean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and all future NOx Emission Control Areas (ECAs).

AQUACULTURE

INTELLIGENT FEEDING AID MAKES WAVES IN AQUACULTURE As aquaculture continues to grow and develop, an increasing amount of data from fish farms needs to be processed and analysed. This requires additional skills that span several disciplines including environmental, biology and oceanography but for busy farmers, obtaining such skills is no easy feat due to the considerable effort and concentration required over long periods of time.

With this in mind, aquaculture supplier and technology firm AKVA group has partnered with artificial intelligence experts Observe Technologies to develop a new software package that could help to ease the burden on farmers.

"We've come up with a new feeding system that has been under development for close to three years," said Andrew Campbell, AKVA group’s Regional President for the Americas and Australasia.

"It began with clear objectives to help further optimise feeding in aquaculture and thereby increase sustainability through existing data streams. Its aim is to reduce the challenges surrounding data processing through AI assistance, and alert farmers to the most critical information."

Through AI, AKVA Observe analyses in real time the different data and video streams at an aquaculture site. This supports farmers by making recommendations and letting them know about optimal times to increase or decrease feeding, and alerts them to any deviations and abnormalities. All recommendations have been developed with farmers globally, and as more data streams are added to the system, the AI is slowly being developed to acknowledge other factors that could affect fish growth, such as how oxygen and temperature relate to fish appetite.

"The exciting thing to recognise here is that there is a lot of scope to develop a system that can learn, evolve and support farmers in having better production outcomes," Andrew Campbell said.

"For years, the industry has been finding these types of correlations and we are now using that information to improve the feeding process."

The software package uses AI to estimate the appetite of fish by understanding various factors such as how they swim, eat and where any pellets are. Data and correlations can then be integrated through sensors, feeding systems and lighting equipment, offering a more intelligent approach to feed management, fish welfare and behaviour. Andrew also believes that the new system plays a particularly crucial role.

"Just like it's hard to imagine a world before underwater cameras, we believe that in the future it will be hard to imagine aquaculture before pellet and behaviour detection," he said.

"We need accountability of the feed utilisation on fish farms, not just for costs but also for our environmental responsibility.

We also believe that as the aquaculture industry grows, clients will value the measurable insight in how decisions on feeding were made. Through AKVA Observe, we provide accountability and a chain of actions that explain how our AI came to the recommendations and a management tool that provides company-wide visibility."

Developed in the UK, AKVA Observe was built across multiple global regions from Scotland to Chile and reached 22 | JUNE 2019

completion in 2017 when it was first installed on farms. Today, it's in full commercial operation in Scotland and Chile, with trials planned in Canada and Tasmania.

During the course of 2019, the system will also be introduced to the Nordic market. It can be integrated with existing pen hardware, which eliminates the need to invest in new hardware in order to use it, and was built with flexibility in mind: as long as there is a camera, real-time recommendations on fish appetite can be provided to farmers. By examining data streams, the system alerts farmers to possible cases of over/ under feeding, allowing them to react more quickly to a range of different scenarios and moderate or increase feeding.

It can also pick up scenarios accurately and sometimes quicker than can be visually seen, so farmers can make decisions to support their feed strategies more quickly, become accomplished feeders in a short time and for this to potentially bring more standardisation to feeding on a

Hopes are high that these will further benefit the real-time site feedback and intelligently process the large amount of data that originates from it, turning data overload into a data rich, alert and action-based platform. Another aim is to produce a complete product portfolio, which offers local adaptions for different markets and species.

"Our focus is on developing products that enable sustainable biology, which in turn will help optimise our customers' operational performance," Andrew Campbell concluded.

"We are always looking to work with customers to further iterate and develop the next generation of the product but at the same time, there is always room for improvement. So we're consulting farmers worldwide, while the AI is continuously working to understand how best to adapt to different cage conditions so an optimum output is given."

company-wide basis. The software is also able to complete detailed analyses of fish behaviour that can help to identify possible risk situations, and offer real time assistance that is specific to each individual pen on a particular site.

"What makes AKVA Observe stand out from other feeding assistants is that it becomes smarter over time by adaptively learning about the factors important to each cage as well as the whole site," Andrew explained.

"It will analyse long-term trends and ascertain patterns in activity of fish feeding and behaviour to highlight opportunities to push feeding or restrict it if environmental conditions aren't conducive. When testing the system, we were basically living, sleeping and testing on farms for weeks and months and we think that this closeness to real life farming was crucial to create a rapid learning AI. We firmly believe that this approach was key and the foundation for the high demands that we are experiencing now."

Feedback has been extremely positive. Farmers speak highly of the development of remote management tools, while the system continues to operate well at a number of sites. With more than ten new farmers waiting to have the system up and running on their farms, Andrew says that a whole pipeline of innovation and ideas is in the works. The aim behind this is to make the platform even more relevant to the aquaculture industry as time goes on.

AKVA group is now working on several development projects, including waterborne feeding, new camera solutions and improved pen concepts, while Observe Technologies is developing further AI features to complement the existing system, as well as other new, potential product offerings.

SETTING A NEW BENCHMARK IN SALMON EGG PRODUCTION Benchmark’s egg production unit has opened in Sørfold in Norway, with visitors coming from around the world as the unique facility opened its doors for the first time

8 Benchmark’s state-of-the-art egg production unit has opened in Sørfold

“This project is something that is very special and important.

We are putting together something that is vital for the future.

This is at the forefront of the salmon industry’s development,” said Benchmark CEO Malcolm Pye, addressing the 250 dignitaries, local families and international delegates who attended the formal opening.

He said that once it reaches full capacity, the facility will be able to produce at least 150 million salmon eggs a year. But he stressed that quality, not just quantity, would be the defining feature of the facility’s production – quality guaranteed by both the equipment and the team that the company has assembled.

“Disease is one of the critical elements in every kind of aquaculture and here we have a facility that gives us the ultimate in biosecurity and production capability for the very first critical stage of producing eggs that are going to grow, thrive and produce the quality product that we all believe in so much,” he observed.

“Alongside the production capability we also have to develop genetics that drive forward production efficiency and sustainability of production.”

He emphasised that the unit, which has been planned for over five years and was completed on schedule, is testament to Benchmark’s dedication to the salmon sector.

“This is our commitment to the future of the salmon industry.

We have a tremendous belief in the industry. We know it is going to continue to grow and prosper and we are totally committed in playing our part in that,” he said.

24 | JUNE 2019

“This facility is one of many, but it’s also exceptional,” commented Johan Andresen, owner of Ferd and one of the largest investors in Benchmark.

“What makes it exceptional is not necessarily all pipes and all the equipment — although that’s world-class – what makes it exceptional is the people who thought of the idea, who built it, who are going to run it, going to sell the product, and make sure that this is and will be the world’s best facility of its kind.

This is the proof that we not only invested in the right company, we invested in the right people.”

One of those people is Stig Joar Krogli, general manager at the Benchmark site.

“It’s a fantastic site, producing fantastic quality eggs,” Stig Joar Krogli said. “It’s a dream to work here – a view of the future, of what we can do.”

£3.2m BOOST FOR SCOTTISH BUSINESSES AS NEW SALMON FARM GIVEN GO AHEAD

Photo: Scottish Sea Farms

Scottish Sea Farms has been given the approval for a new salmon farm off the small island of Hunda within Scapa Flow in Orkney.

The approval comes after years of research, planning and consultation by Scottish Sea Farms’ environment and production teams to identify the ideal location for growing premium quality salmon in the most responsible and environmentally sustainable way.

With consent to grow up to 1677 tonnes of salmon, the new farm will see a £3.2m investment in infrastructure including a 60m grid structure and associated mooring systems, twelve 100m diameter pens with innovative new netting to keep salmon and local marine life safely separate, and a 200-tonne feed barge with high-tech control room. The plans include underwater cameras to monitor fish health and behaviour in real-time, monitoring technology to detect any changes in oxygen levels or water quality and a 14m catamaran workboat.

“Salmon farming continues to advance at a great pace and this new farm at Hunda will benefit from the latest know-how and technologies. Each and every aspect of our farming activity has been carefully considered: from enhancing fish health and welfare, to protecting local marine life and the surrounding environment,” said Richard Darbyshire, Scottish

Sea Farms production manager for Orkney.

“Well-paid, skilled jobs are crucial to enabling people to remain within remote and rural communities, so we’re delighted to be contributing an additional six full-time jobs to Orkney,” said head of human resources Tracy Bryant-Shaw.

“Each job comes with training and

ATLANTIS PASSES MILESTONE WITH SUBMERSIBLE PEN

Photo: Atlantis Subsea Farming

Atlantis Subsea Farming has for the first time deployed its submersible pen containing fish.

The company is owned by SinkabergHansen, AKVA group and Egersund Net

In March last year the company was awarded a development license. Now the fish in these innovative pens are being monitored closely as as the project progresses.

“One year after being awarded the development license, the first fish are in the system, and we’re quite happy with that,” says project manager Trude Olafsen.

“We have had our challenges, and what we are trying to achieve is not easy. But this is exactly why we need the development license. It gives us the opportunity to test the technology on actual biomass for three generations – and we are grateful for that.”

We have developed a lot of experience in keeping the fish deep in ordinary pens by using deep feeding and appropriate lighting, and see benefits from that in the form of less sea lice infestation, among other things. If the technology from Atlantis Subsea Farming also allows us to use more exposed locations, this is a solution for the future

8 Atlantis Subsea Farming has deployed its submersible fish pen for the first time

group and service company Nærøysund Aquaservice, which also played an important part in the actual development work, are acquiring valuable experience on deep operations.

The goal is to have the pen submerged as much as possible, and for it to spend as little time as is practical at the surface.

Submersible pens can in principle be moored with regular frame moorings. The investments are justifiable in relation to the operational benefits it is expected that Atlantis will provide, according to the company.

“I have great faith that this may be a solution in certain locations with rough conditions at the surface,” said Finn Sinkaberg, who took the initiative in starting the project.

“We have developed a lot of experience in keeping the fish deep in ordinary pens by using deep feeding and appropriate lighting, and see benefits from that in the form of less sea lice infestation, among other things. If the technology from Atlantis Subsea Farming also allows us to use more exposed locations, this is a solution for the future,” he said.

BIRD DETERRENT PROTECTS FISH Fish farms frequently suffer predation from birds, which can become a major problem when bird populations rise, as once birds discover a density of fish, they attract more more birds to the same ponds.

Birds can have significant negative effects on aquaculture, not only consuming fish but also as carriers of disease from one pond or aquaculture facility to another, and traditional methods of bird control such as frightening, trapping and shooting do not ensure safety.

According to the Bird Control Group, which

has developed its own innovative systems to deter birds, there are also many laws and regulations that prevent farmers from shooting the birds.

The company has developed the Agrilaser Autonomic, a bird deterrent device that has been successful in helping fish farms with solving bird problems, as well as which it has been successful in a number of other applications, such as keeping fruit farms and airports clear of birds.

The Agrilaser Autonomic bird deterrent

8 The Bird Control Group’s Agrilaser Autonomic provides an effective bird deterrent

device focuses on the birds’ natural instincts.

The device projects a green laser beam towards the area where birds accumulate. The birds perceive this green laser beam as a threat and will immediately move elsewhere.

The Agrilaser Autonomic is claimed to be the most suitable bird deterrent device for fish farms that suffer from invasive birds, providing a cost-effective solution that ensures safety to humans and birds with built-in safety features.

SMS invests in team and workboat portfolio The SMS Group, one of the UK’s leading ship repairers and marine engineering services providers, has made a significant investment in its workboat team and product portfolio.

It has further developed its extensive workboat portfolio in addition to its existing Bulldog multi-role workboats and strengthened its existing team to both promote and develop its products, which includes aquaculture support craft. The SMS Group also has formed a strong bond with James Walker from Walker Marine Design (WMD).

The new range of craft consists of a revised range of standardised workboats, support vessels, landing craft, anchor handling vessels and aquaculture support vessels, ranging from 9 to 36 metres, with a 24 metre LOA, 8.50 metre beam aquaculture vessel currently under construction for delivery to Maltese tuna

“This represents a major investment for Fish and Fish Ltd, and it illustrates not only the strength of our business but also our belief in the environmental sustainability of the aquaculture industry here in Malta,” said David Azzopardi, director of Fish and Fish Ltd. David Rutter joins SMS as Small Boats Manager, bringing to the company an extensive knowledge of workboats, small boats and other commercial and naval vessels.

“It really is good news that as a UK boat builder we’re able to offer such a wide array of vessels at extremely competitive prices,” he said.

“We’ve the ability to offer bespoke packages, as well as a variety of leasing and financing options which puts us in a very good, and somewhat unique place, within a challenging and competitive market. At SMS we really can be different.”

NEW ANTARCTIC TO BE BUILT

BY KARSTENSEN The McHugh-family currently operates the 51 metre pelagic vessel Antarctic, which will be sold on delivery in July 2021 of the new vessel, which will will operate in the traditional pelagic trawl fishery, with mackerel and herring as the main target species.

Teresa and Eamon McHugh have headed the family business for 25 years, since starting with the first Antarctic, acquired from Eamon’s brother Kevin McHugh. Their sons are deeply involved in the family business, with Eamon J McHugh managing the shore side, while his brother Gerard sails as Antarctic’s skipper.

The new Antarctic will be the fifth since the Antarctic Fishing Company was established in 1987 with the purchase of first Antarctic, which has been replaced over the years as a number of pelagic trawlers have sailed under the same name for the McHugh family.

“We delighted with this new contract, which cements the shipyard’s position as the prime designer and builder of larger pelagic fishing vessels,’ said Kent Damgaard at Karstensen Shipyard, adding that the yard currently has orders for no fewer than eleven pelagic vessels to be delivered throughout the next two years.

“The Karstensen Shipyard offers a complete concept, optimised and tailor-made to customer specifications and requirements. Karstensen is independent of all suppliers, which makes such an optimisation very flexible. The vessel design, specification and arrangements are the result of an extensive and close co-operation between owners and yard, in which all the details have been tailored to suit Eamon McHugh’s exact

specifications. The main focus has been on working, safety and comfort for the crew, and on optimising catch handling and storage facilities, and fuel consumption.”

Suppliers have been chosen to match specifications and requirements, with Irish suppliers heading the list. Sea Quest will supply the full deck machinery package of winches and cranes, while KER Group will supply the full RSW installation and vacuum discharging system. Barry Electronics will supply the complete array of electronics.

MAN ES will be supplying the complete propulsion plant, including a 9L27/38 main engine, while the 930 and 550kWe auxiliary engines are coming from Caterpillar.

8 The Antarctic Fishing Company has placed an order for a 62.60 metre pelagic trawler to be built at the Karstensen Shipyard in Skagen

Marin Teknikk to design Skår Senior pelagic vessel Marin Teknikk AS (MT) has secured a design contract with fishing company Skår Senior AS, based at Kvalsvik in the Herøy region of western Norway.

The new combination trawler/purse seiner will measure 48 metres overall with a 12 metre beam and will be built to a MT1120 design, tailored to the owner’s requirements.

The new vessel will have 500 m3 RSW tank capacity and vacuum system for gentle catch handling. It will be built to light Ice-class, with accommodation for up to ten persons. The owners are looking to build the vessel at a Norwegian shipyard for delivery in Q4 2021.

“We are very pleased to sign such a contract that secures work for our highly skilled personnel at MT, in addition to creating activity in the Norwegian maritime cluster,” said Marin Teknikk’s sales Director Richard K. Gjerde, adding that the contract is a solid recognition of the company’s work in a new and interesting

LORIENT’S VERSATILE TRAWLER/ SEINER PAIR FROM PADMOS

Image: Padmos

Two multi-purpose fishing vessels, designed to alternate demersal, pelagic and pair trawling with seine netting, have been delivered to Lorient fishing company APAK. The pair have been built at Padmos in Holland, with the first or the two, Marie-Lou, delivered in the early part of the year and followed in April by Le Dolmen. They are expected to fish on demersal species in the Bay of Biscay for much of the year, switching to pair trawling for tuna the summer.

The two seiner/trawlers have a 21.90 metre overall length, with a 7.80 metre beam and are built with a slightly inverted bow to provide good seakeeping qualities.

In addition to the design, outfitting and supplying the Mitsubishi engines, Padmos also supplied the deck equipment, with a pair of fly-shooting winches aft at main deck level with capacity for 3000 metres of seine rope, and a pair of fishing winches mounted on the shelterdeck, each with capacity for 1000 metres of warp. The 600kg/8m deck cranes are from EK Marine.

Each trawler has four net drums mounted within the aft gantry over the working deck, with two 5.50m2 and two 4.50m2 net drums, allowing Marie-Lou and Dolmen to carry a variety of fishing gears on board.

Catch handling installations on board have

been fitted out by VCU, and the arrangement on board is also optimised for handling tuna.

Marie-Lou and Le Dolmen each have a 440kW Mitsubishi S6R2-MPTAW-3M main engine turning a 2500mm diameter variable pitch propeller. Each also has a Mitsubishi S4KT auxiliary engine.

APAK is run by Éric Guygniec, who came ashore after many years at sea to manage the
