The high demand for seafood worldwide puts the industry in a favourable position, but while its component sectors have so far proven to be adaptable and innovative, it’s critical that they are developed to meet the increasing needs of the world we live in, according to Norway’s Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy Bjørnar Selnes Skjæran. Speaking at the recent Nor-Fishing 2022 exhibition in Trondheim, Skjæran stressed the world is facing “some major global challenges”. He said, “The pandemic has dominated the agenda for the last couple of years and will continue to impact us in the future. Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is creating huge human suﬀering and has far-reaching consequences. And the eﬀects of climate change are more intense and powerful than ever.

VIEWPOINT

This is where our oceans come into play. The so-called “blue economy” vision is widely regarded as the most viable solution to multiple global challenges, including but not limited to climate change, natural resource depletion, economic diversity and of course food insecurity. Essentially, it comprises all activities and industries that are connected to water, including ﬁsheries and aquaculture, and requires stakeholders to manage resources much more eﬃciently while endeavouring to restore damaged ecosystems. With regards to feeding the world, it’s often highlighted that despite covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, our seas, coastal areas and other water bodies collectively only contribute around 2% of the world’s food supply on a caloric basis. As such, and with any substantial increase to terrestrial food production unlikely due to declining yield rates and general land and freshwater scarcity, the onus is very much on the seafood economy to provide much more. This critical need to produce and consume more from the sea was highlighted at the recent Nor-Fishing 2022, with Kjell Ingebrightsen, Chair of the Nor-Fishing Foundation, declaring that “blue is the new green”. Opening the event in Trodheim, Ingebrightsen added that to provide more food, it was clear that more technological innovations need to break through across the value chain. At the same time, he stressed that industry leaders must recognise that each market has its own unique characteristics and demands and that the collective mission should be to meet these demands head-on while always thinking one step ahead and where society’s ever-changing tastes will go to next. “There are great challenges but there are greater opportunities,” he insisted.

It’s fair to say there’s a great deal of uncertainty in the world today, but what we do most deﬁnitely know is that the global population is going to continue to increase, and that this growth will make the need to produce more healthy and nutritious food ever more critical. Alongside this is the understanding that this will need to be achieved in the most sustainable and planet-positive ways possible.

Seafood giant Thai Union and its subsidiary Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods have established an alliance in North America with plantbased seafood brand, The ISH Food Company.

Greenpeace UK has announced plans to build an underwater boulder barrier in a third UK Marine Protected Area (MPA) to block destructive industrial fishing, with the action supported by celebrities Stephen Fry, Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall, Simon Pegg and Daniel Lismore. In the coming weeks, the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise will be sailing to the South West Deeps (East), an MPA almost 200km off the Cornish coast, to make a portion of it off-limits to thetheareontotheirPeggbottom-trawling.Fry,Fearnley-Whittingstall,andLismorewillhavenameswillbestencilledthebouldersbeforetheyplacedontheseabed.AccordingtoGreenpeace,SouthWestDeepsisoneofmostheavily

Greenpeace is calling on the government to match its rhetoric by banning bottomtrawling in every UK MPA using ﬁshing licensing restrictions and fulﬁl its 30x30 commitments.

This is just a drop in the ocean – it’s like locking your front door but leaving all your windows wide open.”Venditti added that the next UK prime minister should ban industrial fishing in MPAs by tweaking commercial fishing licences, “to show they mean business on protecting nature and supporting fishing communities”.ActorPegg said, “I am adding my name to one of Greenpeace’s boulders because I stand in solidarity with the UK’s small independent fishermen. The government promised that Brexit would be a turning point for fishing in the UK, but now that it has happened, this has turned out to be nothing but empty words. Massive industrial fishing vessels are catching everything in our seas, leaving our fishermen with nothing and making their jobs untenable. “Properly protecting our Marine Protected Areas won’t only help wildlife recover, it will also help our local fishermen recover their livelihoods and bolster our coastal communities. It’s a no-brainer. So why is the government going back on their promise?”Fabricsculptor, designer and campaigner Lismore said: “If we carry on industrially fishing like this, there will be no fish left in the UK’s oceans, and we and the planet will be in trouble. I am proud to support Greenpeace’s necessary boulder action, and I want the government to sit up, take note and act to protect our oceans from destructive industrial fishing - like they said theyUKwould.”government banned bottom-trawling in four MPAs following Greenpeace’s previous boulder actions and is consulting on bans in a further 13 MPAs. But Greenpeace said “this glacially slow pace” will not deliver on the promise to see 30% of the world’s oceans protected by 2030 (30x30) – a target which the UK government has committed to reaching.

fished MPAs in the UK. The campaign group said that between 1 January 2021 and 15 July 2022, the South West Deeps was fished in for nearly 19,000 hours by 110 boats, and that during the same period, bottom-trawlers spent more than 3,370 hours fishing in the area. It also highlighted that the majority of industrial fishing vessels in the South West Deeps are from France (53%), followed by Spain (30%) and Great Britain (9%).Greenpeace UK’s Executive Director Pat Venditti said, “This is a last resort to save the UK’s marine life; we would prefer that the government did their job of protecting the oceans properly.

CELEBRITIES, ACTORS BACK FISHING BARRIER

Netherlands-based yellowtail kingfish producer Kingfish Zeeland has become the first company in Europe to successfully complete a pilot of Global Seafood Alliance’s (GSA) Raised Without Antibiotics Standard. Part of the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Vanguard programme, the Raised Without Antibiotics Standard was released in 2021 to provide assurances that programme participants have produced farmed seafood without the use of any antibiotics, whether approved for use by regulatory bodies and/or allowed for the species being farmed. To achieve the “Raised Without Antibiotics” claim, producers must prove they have the necessary procedures and practices in place to verify that antibiotics were not used through all phases of the life cycle of the year-class and lots in consideration for claims. Kingfish Zeeland was also the world’s first recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) to earn BAP certification in 2018.

In a recent letter to UK Prime Ministerial candidates Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, as well as Victoria Prentis, Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and Scottish Rural Affairs Cabinet Secretary Mairi Gougeon, along with local MPs and MSPs, the SPPA says the sector is reaching crisis point and mitigation support measures are required without delay.Members of the SPPA support around 2,000 direct jobs, along with many other jobs in associated support sectors. As well as supplying high quality and nutritious mackerel and herring to the domestic market, there are also significant export sales (including blue whiting) worth around GBP 150 million a year to the Scottish and UK economy.Mackerel is Scotland’s most important fishery in terms of volume and value. SPPA Chairman Robert Duthie said, “Against the background of a challenging business environment where our members are already experiencing increased costs in many areas, including packaging and logistics, as well as the impact caused by Brexit and Covid, we have now been hit by soaring energy costs.” Duthie said the energy crisis has resulted in increases of over 300% in expenditure for SPPA members, with some members seeing the annual electricity bill increasing from GBP 950,000 to GBP 3.5 “Clearly,million.such increases are not sustainable, and the outlook appears bleak with prices expected to continue to rise,” he said. “As a sector of the fish processing industry which supports jobs in the rural economies of the northeast of Scotland and Shetland, and which plays a crucial role in maintaining UK food security and contributing to the UK balance of payments, it is imperative that action is taken by government to help our sector.“This is important,especiallygiventhat our competitor companies in the EU and Norway are enjoying significantly lower energy costs than ourselves due to their governments not imposing the same additional taxes and levies on energy as the UK does, as well as offering other support. This makes it challenging for us to compete in export markets, as well impacting upon our capability to supply the domestic market.”

fic Fishery Management Council and NOAA Fisheries have adopted measures to limit the catch of species taken incidentally in groundfish fisheries.Certain salmon species, such as chum and Chinook, are designated as “prohibited species” in groundfish fishery management plans because they are the target of other, fully-utilised domestic fisheries. The incidental catch of salmon in groundfish fisheries is closely monitored to ensure that all salmon are counted, and representative samples are analysed using genetic tools to estimate what stocks are being caught.Scientists at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center have been working to speed up genetic analyses and share results with industry to integrate stock-specific information into bycatch avoidance strategies.

These advancements have allowed the genetics laboratory to deliver data much faster. For example, the lag time between bycatch occurrence and reporting of data has decreased by nearly a year for chum. These advancements will be available for Chinook starting in 2023. NOAA Fisheries offers that this means that managers and industry have information from the most recent year when starting to fish. This should facilitate more effective stockspecific avoidance strategies.

US government authority NOAA Fisheries has identified a new way to deliver more timely genetic information to help resource managers and fishermen in their effort to reduce the salmon bycatch in commercial groundfish fisheries. Announcing the development, it said that having faster access to such information is particularly important given some concerns that salmon caught incidentally as bycatch may be contributing to a decline in Chinook and chum salmon runs, especially in western Alaska.

Stock composition reports are completed annually for chum and Chinook in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. Scientists use genetic information from chum and Chinook bycatch in the pollock trawl fisheries to estimate the number and proportion of these salmon being caught.

Scientists also are exploring ways to help the fishing industry avoid catching specific stocks through integrative analyses that combine large datasets to predict stock specific distributions.Instudying the salmon bycatch, scientists hope to: 8 Determine the geographic origin of salmon caught in federally managed groundfish fisheries that are collected by NOAA Fisheries observers to estimate stock-specific impacts of bycatch

“The easiest thing would be to exclude sexual maturation completely in farmed salmon,” Kleppe said. “We have now shown that gamete-free salmon is largely similar to normal salmon but have the clear advantage that it never reaches sexual maturity.” So far, the gene-edited salmon has only been produced for research in the laboratory. In Norway, this is defined as genetically modified, and strictly regulated by the Genetic Engineering Act. For practical reasons, the researchers switch off the gene that gives the salmon its colour pigment – making the salmon yellow instead of silver. Thus, they can easily distinguish it from other salmon in the same experiment.

“We found no differences in body size, smoltification, stress markers, heart size or the occurrence of skeletal malformations,” researcher Lene Kleppe said. The sterile salmon also had the same amount of healthy omega-3 fatty acids as normal farmedWhatsalmon.theresearchers saw, however, was that normal salmon began to grow faster 8 The genetically-edited fish are similar to other farmed salmon in both health and omega-3 content than the sterile salmon towards the end of the experiment. They also grew larger livers. “These are early signs of sexual maturation. You generally want to avoid that in farming, not only because sexually mature fish on the run can mate with wild fish,” Kleppe explained.Fishthat reach sexual maturity become more susceptible to disease and can thus experience poorer welfare. They also deliver poorer meat quality because they use energy on sexual maturation. In farming, sexual maturation means that the salmon must be slaughtered, even if it is ahead of schedule.

By turning off a special gene with the CRISPR method, researchers at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway have created the world’s first salmon without reproductive cells, with the overriding purpose to develop a farmed fish that cannot mate with wild salmon if it escapes. The same team have now followed the new salmon throughout the entire production cycle to compare growth, signs of welfare and omega-3 content with normal farmed salmon, finding no measurable differences in growth and welfare.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Holistic solutions Essentially, blue transformation is billed as a vision for sustainably transforming aquatic food systems – a solution

INSIGHT The future of ﬁshing

With less than eight years to 2030 and the world not on track to end hunger and malnutrition, a lot now rests on the FAO’s “blue transformation” strategy, writes Jason Holland 8 Fish sellers in the Chowringhee area of Kolkata, West Bengal, India

There have long been high hopes that aquatic food production – provided through both ﬁsheries and aquaculture – will have a progressively more important role to play in food and nutritional security. Indeed, it’s increasingly recognised that prioritising and better integrating ﬁsheries and aquaculture products in global, regional and national food system strategies and policies should be a vital part of what’s deemed a necessary transformation of agrifood systems.

As shared by the latest edition of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) biennial report, “The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture” (SOFIA), some 811 million people today suffer from hunger and 3 billion can’t afford healthy diets. It also explains that degraded ecosystems, an intensifying climate crisis, and increased biodiversity loss are threatening jobs, economies, the environment and food security around the globe, and that these have all been aggravated by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other humanitarian emergencies.SOFIA2022, which is subtitled “Towards Blue Transformation”, confirms that total fisheries and aquaculture production reached an all-time record of 214 million tonnes in 2020, worth about US$ 424 billion. Within that volume, the aquatic animal production amounted to 178 million tonnes, with all but 20 million tonnes going to human consumption – putting the global intake at 20.2 kg perThecapita.report also projects that total fish for food production will increase by 24 million tonnes to reach 202 million tonnes by 2030 and that aquaculture will continue to be the driving force behind this growth, rising to a level of 106 million tonnes. Per capita consumption, meanwhile, is expected to rise to 21.4 kg. But also comes the suggestion that this isn’t enough, and that seafood can provide a larger proportion of humanity’s nutritious food requirements. SOFIA states that the FAO believes that “blue transformation can meet the twin challenges of food security and environmental sustainability” but explains that the subtitle reflects the acceleration required to achieve a sustainable, inclusive and efficient sector able to meet expectations, the urgent need to integrate sustainably harvested aquatic foods into national food system policies and programmes, and opportunities to contribute to restoring aquatic habitats and biodiversity.

le aquatic food production is forecast to increase by a further 15% by 2030, mainly by intensifying and expanding sustainable aquaculture production (one of the three core objectives of blue transformation), SOFIA states that such growth must preserve aquatic ecosystem health, prevent pollution, and protect biodiversity and social equality. With regards to aquaculture, blue transformation will aim to: 8 Increase the development and adoption of sustainable aquaculture practices 8 Integrate aquaculture into national, regional and global development strategies and food policies 8 Expand and intensify aquaculture production to meet the growing demand for aquatic food and enhance inclusive livelihoods 8 Improve capacities at all levels to develop and adopt innovative technology and management practices for a more eﬃcient and resilient aquaculture industry Furthering farming According to SOFIA 2022, in the next 10 years, aquaculture must expand sustainably to satisfy the gap in global demand for aquatic foods, especially in food-deﬁcit regions, while also generating new or securing existing sources of income and employment. The report states that the aim is to increase global production by between 35 and 40% by 2030, according to national and regional contexts but also that fundamental barriers facing aquaculture production systems, governance, investment, innovations and capacity building must be addressed.

Priority areas for innovative aquaculture practices are aquafeeds and feeding, digitalisation and the promotion of efficient and pro-environment practices, it offers, adding that implementing these solutions requires adequate capacity and skills, training, research and partnerships, and can benefit from developments in information and communications technology and the wider access to mobile applications and platforms.

It states, “Proactive public and private partnerships are needed to improve production, reduce food loss and waste and enhance equitable access to lucrative Furthermore,markets.inc lusion of aquatic foods in national food security and nutrition strategies, together with initiatives to improve consumer awareness on their beneﬁts, is needed to increase availability and improve access.”

Climatic obstacles Meanwhile, and in addition to the “multiple ramifications” presented by the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, SOFIA anticipates that the next decade is likely to see major changes in the environment, resource availability, macroeconomic conditions, international trade rules and tariffs, and market characteristics, which may affect production, markets and trade in the medium-term.Itsaysc limate variability and change, including in the frequency and extent of extreme weather events, are expected to have significant and geographically differential impacts on the availability, processing and trade of aquatic products, making countries more vulnerable to risks. The report then underlines that these risks can be mitigated through responsive and effective governance promoting stringent fisheries management regimes, responsible aquaculture growth and improvements in technology, innovations and research.

Blue transformation can meet the twin challenges of food security and environmental sustainability ‘‘ for food and nutrition security and environmental and social well-being, including accelerating actions towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). It focuses on sustainable aquaculture expansion and intensification, effective management of all fisheries, and upgraded value chains. This, states SOFIA, requires holistic and adaptive approaches that consider the complex interaction in agrifood systems and support multi-stakeholder interventions using existing and emerging knowledge, tools and practices to secure and maximise the contribution of aquatic food systems to global food security and

Ensuring productivity Aside from its focus on fish farming, SOFIA 2022 states that effective management of all fisheries is another of the three core objectives, and that improving fisheries management is essential to rebuilding fisheries stocks, increasing catches and restoring ecosystems to a healthy and productive state while managing exploited resources within ecosystem boundaries.

It identiﬁes that improved aquaculture systems require further technical innovations – with a focus on genetic improvements in breeding programmes, feeds, biosecurity and disease control – coupled with coherent policies and appropriate incentives along the entire value chain.

The third core objective is upgrading value chains to ensure the social, economic and environmental viability of aquatic food systems and to secure nutritional outcomes. Improving ﬁsheries management requires transformative changes to promote governance and policy reforms, eﬀective management frameworks, innovative technologies and adequate social protection, the reportFurtherstates.to this, one of SOFIA 2022’s nine key messages is that blue transformation requires a commitment from the public and private sectors if the United Nations 2030 Agenda is to be achieved, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic has “reversed previously favourable trends”.

Greater product diversity

Saudi Arabia started developing fish farming in the 1980s, but for decades the industry was hindered by a mix of infrastructural and environmental challenges. However, there are high hopes that big money and cutting-edge technologies could at long last turn the tide. Under its current National Fisheries Development Programme, the government wants to boost aquaculture production in the kingdom from the current level of around 80,000 tonnes to 300,000 tonnes in 2025 and to 600,000 tonnes by 2030. Its plans stipulate that around 450,000 tonnes of fish are to be produced by marine cage farms in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The rest should be provided by recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) farms built across the country. Overall, the potential of the Saudi fish farming industry is estimated to be close to 1 million tonnes per year. One of the main reasons for scaling up the growth of its aquaculture production is to bolster demand in the domestic fish market. Consumption currently stands at 11 kg per capita, which is about half of the world average. Furthermore, and similar to other countries in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia depends heavily on food imports, purchasing roughly 80% of all the food it consumes from abroad, including the lion’s share of the 300,000 tonnes of fish it consumes annually. Under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the country is seeking to diversify its economy and move away from heavily relying on oil export revenues. The fish farming development programme is therefore designed to eliminate the reliance on imported fish. Saudi Arabia is expected to achieve seafood selfsufficiency by 2026, according to Ali Al-Sheikhi, CEO of the National Fisheries Development Programme in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the growth in the fish farming sector is expected to push the overall value of fish exports to $270 million per year.

MIRACLE IN THE DESERT

NEWHORIZONS Focusing on Fisheries Development calcarifer) and gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). To fully meet the domestic demand, these farmers need not only to increase output but also expand the product range. The development programme is not just limited to pumping investments into new production capacities. The key task is to establish relevant infrastructure – in order to solve some long-standing issues. Al Sheikhi confirmed the industry battled numerous challenges in the past years, including weak demand for locally farmed fish products and poor efficiency of locally produced feed.

“Add to this supply chain disruptions, poor infrastructure, and a lack of hatcheries, fish feed factories and packaging plants. This means that the sector is left at the mercy of external suppliers,” he said, estimating that an unnecessary increase in production costs entails worsening control over the product quality. The Saudi fish farming sector has also been suffering long from bureaucracy. Al Sheikhi explained that investors complain about delays in obtaining operational licenses from the national regulatory authority and also about unclear rules pertaining to state support measures in the sector.“These factors eventually lead to difficulties in attracting investments and [slowing down] industry growth,” Al SheikhiFurthermore,said. the aquaculture sector experiences a looming threat of a freshwater shortage.

Indeed, the kingdom is believed to be one of the most water-scarce nations in the world, although the Saudi desert sits on top of some 500 billion cubic metres of fossil water – the country’s main freshwater source.

Creating favourable conditions To facilitate the ﬁsh farming sector’s development, Saudi Arabia announced in June this year that it had joined the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Paciﬁc (NACA).

Al Sheikhi confirmed that the country spent almost SR300 million ($80 million) over the previous three years on R&D: carrying out feasibility studies, measuring environmental impacts, identifying the suitable species to be cultivated, calculating feed consumption rates and for other purposes. In addition, steps have been made to overcome challenges in the broodstock, feed and packaging segments so that potential investors “can just focus on production”.Indeed,several new hatcheries have been laid down in Saudi Arabia over the past few years. For instance, Dubai-based Aqua Bridge has built a hatchery in Al-Lith, Makkah Province, for 3 million juveniles per year, primarily of seabream and seabass, eyeing to boost its performance to 10 million juveniles in the future. “European seabream and European seabass are some of the most popular species for aquaculture projects in the region, and the localised production of their fingerlings further enhances their appeal for production in the Saudi aquaculture sphere,” the company said in a statement. Aqua Bridge also stressed that locally produced broodstock is expected to have better quality and secure better gains and lower mortality rate compared to imported juveniles. Local players with big ambitions Currently, the largest aquaculture producers in Saudi Arabia are Tabuk Fish Co and Naqua. Both harbour largescale development plans. In 2020, Tabuk Fish Co inked a new agreement to launch a hatchery in the Saudi megacity Neom – a $500 billion futuristic project that will include a nature sanctuary, coral reefs, and heritage sites on around 50 islands off the Red Sea Coast. Under the agreement, the megacity should also house the country’s largest hatchery for 70 million fingerlings. The project is called to spur investors’ interest in fish farming in the Neom and beyond. In early 2022, Neom rolled out plans to produce 80,000 tonnes of seafood per year. The initial stage envisages launching production at 22-hectare RAS facility designed to grow 12,000 tonnes of fish per year. In addition, the megacity expects production to begin at 2,500 ha of recirculating ponds and offshore and nearshore cage farms. To secure a sufficient level of aquafeed supply, Neom’s developers plan to launch several insect and seaweed farms. Naqua is believed to be one of the largest aquaculture companies in the Middle East. With a total investment to date of SAR 4 billion ($1.06 billion), it established large, fully integrated marine farms approximately 180km south of Jeddah, with the designed production performance 100,000 tonnes of shrimp, fish and sea cucumbers, though the actual production level is lower. Currently, Naqua accounts for nearly 86% of Saudi aquaculture production, the company estimates. By 2030, its harvest is projected to grow to 250,000 tonnes, making it one of the world’s largest aquaculture producers.

le, in the background, the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture recently announced that the kingdom has allocated 105 billion riyals ($28 billion) for new projects aimed at improving the water system in the country. The problems with fossil water could hamper the land-based segment of Saudi aquaculture.

Al Sheikhi said that by becoming a member of this organisation, Saudi Arabia intended to join forces with countries that produce more than 90% of the world’s aquaculture output. The move is expected to encourage an inﬂow of foreign investments in the Saudi aquaculture sector. Over the past several years, the Saudi treasury has invested heavily in running researchers and creating comfortable conditions for private investors, including those from abroad, but the upcoming growth should be secured by private money.

My latest book examines how salt ﬁsh from Shetland, which was the main export from the islands for more than 200 years, powered the local economy and closely linked Shetland to Europe.

Fishing industry stalwart and author John Goodlad writes for WF

Current concerns Although this is a book about the fishing industry, it’s really about compelling life stories. When undertaking my research, I spoke to many people working in the contemporary seafood industry whose ancestors had worked in the salt fish trade. As their historical conversations spilled over into the present, it became clear that the modern seafood industry is under attack from ill-informed and aggressive environmental campaigning groups. My book therefore also looks at the challenges of sustainability, climate change and food choices. It’s clear to me that despite all the campaigns against fishing and fish farming, fish is actually part of the solution – not the problem.

Shetland had become the hub of a salt ﬁsh supply chain – a salt road if you like.

New salt roads, with new personal and cultural connections, had been established. My book tells the fascinating story of these salt roads through the personal lives of many historical characters –including skippers, ﬁshermen, curers and exporters.

About the author

It began with cod in the early 19th century. Large sailing sacks from Shetland ranged across the north Atlantic with their crews catching cod on hand lines. Making three trips a year (each lasting around 10 weeks) these Shetlanders caught cod oﬀ Greenland, Iceland, the Faroes and Rockall.

For many years John Goodlad was the voice of the Shetland fishing industry when he led the Shetland Fishermen’s Association. He then became a fish farmer and now advises various national and international seafood organisations and companies. His previous book, The Cod Hunters, was shortlisted for the Maritime Foundation’s Mountbatten Award for Best Maritime Book in 2020. Most fish sold today is either fresh or frozen. But it wasn’t always so. Before our age of our sophisticated supply chains and freezing technology, fish had to be salted. Unless you were fortunate enough to live by the coast, the only way to eat fish was after it had been salted. It was not salted for any culinary reason. It was salted to preserve, so it could be eaten months, and sometimes years, after it had been caught.

The ﬁsh were split and salted on board and laid out on Shetland’s stone beaches to dry at the end of each ﬁshing trip. This dried salt cod was then exported to Spain where the “Shetland cure” became very popular as the main ingredient for that most Iberian of dishes, bacalao.

OPINION THE SALT ROADS – HOW FISH MADE A CULTURE

Fish is actually part of the solution – not the problem

‘‘ 8 Hailing drift nets onboard the Golden Harvest 8 John Goodlad

Shifting focus When cod was superseded by herring at the end of the 19th century these links changed as one European market was replaced by another. Instead of selling dried salt cod to Iberia, Shetlanders began exporting barrels of salt herring to Russia, Poland and Germany. Fishing with drift nets in the North Sea, ﬁshermen caught phenomenal quantities of herring. By 1905, Shetland was described as the herring capital of Europe and salt herring from Shetland had become a regular part of the winter diet for the peasantry of eastern Europe.

Compared with other proteins, fish has an extremely low carbon footprint. The lowest carbon footprint of all is farmed shellfish and various pelagic species. This fact is not well known outside the fishing industry – despite being is the best argument against irrational antifishing campaigns. If you want to save the planet, my suggestion is your dinner should consist of farmed mussels for a starter followed by mackerel as a main course.

The latest in a series of trawlers operated by Faroese fishing company Framherji to carry the Akraberg name has been delivered by Norwegian shipbuilder Vard 8 The builtfactoryadvancedvesselwasandout fitted by Vard New Akraberg replaces the trawler built in 1994 as Guðbjörg that has fished for the company since being acquired from Iceland in 2013, and which is now back in Iceland as Snæfell Built at Vard’s Braila yard in Romania and brought to the shipbuilder’s Brattvag facility for outfitting, this is one of the most advanced factory vessels in service anywhere in the world. Akraberg is an 84-metre, 16.7-metre breadth Vard 8 03 design. This is a development of the Vard 8 02 that has already performed successfully for Norwegian fishingAccommodationoperators. on board is to an exceptionally high standard, for a crew of 25, all in single, en-suite cabins. Export Finance Norway (Eksfin) provided Framherji with long-term financing totalling DKK312 million, and the loan has been paid out in part during the construction period up to completion. Eksfin and Nordea have collaborated on this, and the entire loan amount is guaranteed by Nordea’s seafood department in Ålesund. Akraberg has a 1,930-cubic metre refrigerated fishroom, an 830-cubic metre cargo space that can be used for either frozen or chilled catches and 550 cubic metres of ensilage tank capacity for landing biomass that can be processed further ashore. New tech onboard The processing setup on board includes a great deal of the latest technology with its advanced catch handling systems for both whitefish and shrimp, starting with live fish tanks to keep catches in peak condition prior to being passed to the processing deck. The factory deck was outfitted by Ålesund company Steel-X and has an approximately 100-tonne-per-day throughput capacity in its bank of 12 Teknotherm vertical freezers. The industrial shrimp production line incorporates a cooker and IQF freezer. The deck system is supplied by Seaonics, with four 40-tonne permanent magnet AC Big Drum trawl winches, offering opportunities for triple-rig trawling. With an all-electric package of equipment, there are eight 18-tonne sweepline winches at the head of the full length trawl deck and a 22-tonne, 25m3 net drum is mounted over the deck. Seaonics also supplied the three 20-tonnes gilsons, pairs of 16-tonne codend winches and 12-tonne outhaul winches, and a netsounder winch mounted on the aft gantry, as well as auxiliary and stag winches, capstans and the anchor windlass. Cranes supplied by Seaonics are a 3.75t/8m stiff boom unit, plus a pair of 8t/7.5m – 3.75t/16m knuckleboom cranes. Harmonised power Akraberg is one of the first stern trawlers outfitted with Vard Electro’s SeaQ Energy Storage System. This battery system can be fed with power from the permanent magnet winches, and this is harmonised to function with the SeaQ Power Management System for integration with the hybrid diesel-electric propulsion and the 316kW/h battery package. The 4,800kW main engine and 1,790kW auxiliary engine route power to the reduction gearbox and from there to the 4,000mm diameter propeller with a maximum output of 5,700kW.Aheatrecovery system increases overall efficiency even further, while the propulsion system as a whole is compliant with the stringent DNV-GL Silent F notation.

Designed by Navanex, the 19.81-metre LOA by 7.31-metre beam vessel has a layout that allows it to be rigged for ﬁshing with traps snow crab for part of the year, with a clear aft deck capable of stacking 150 collapsible crab pots. To switch to trawling for shrimp or other demersal species, a gantry with twin net drums can be mounted over the stern, and a platform forward is prepared for a pair of trawl winches to be mounted. Ugjit Mijua’ji’jg is built in steel and has a raised fo’c’sle with an aluminium wheelhouse. Accommodation for a crew of up to seven is forward in the raised fo’c’sle with the galley and mess in the aft part of that space.

Proven stabilisation A newly designed bulbous bow, in addition to improving fuel efficiency, helps reduce pitching when working gear into a swell. A pair of stabilisers, follow a design first installed by Chantier Naval Forillon on the trawler Fundy Leader in 2006. A number of these systems have proven effective on other vessels. The stabiliser is a steel plate, hinged at the bottom on the bilge chine. It can be hydraulically raised flat against the hull or lowered to a horizontal position. According to Chantier Naval Forillon’s technical director Jean-Nil Morissette, this system is effective in dampening motion both when steaming or when working gear.

The name on the side of the new fishing vessel delivered by Chantier Naval Forillon isn’t an easy one, but this reflects the Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government’s optimism for commercial fisheries 8 Ugjit Mijua’ji’jg throwing a clean wake on sea trials

The comprehensive set of deck equipment includes a Heila HLM 3-2S deck crane. For crabbing there is a crab hauler, crab table, crab boom and crab block. For trawling, in addition to the two trawl winches and net drums, there is a bag winch. The anchor winch is mounted so that the anchor will lower to the starboard side of the bulbous bow.

Auxiliary power includes a Cummins QSB7-DM genset producing 65 kW and an additional QSM11-DM engine producing 355hp at 1,800rpm. This engine drives the vessel’s hydraulic pumps and a back-up 65kW genset. 8 The bright 1,800rpmdeliversIII,IMO-compliantred,tierCumminsQSK19750hpat

Propulsion power is provided by an IMO-compliant tier III, Cummins QSK19 producing 750hp at 1,800rpm, coupled to a Twin Disc MGX-5222 gear with 5.04:1 reduction. This turns a four-blade Rice Kaplan Skewed propeller with a 57-inch diameter and a 67-inch pitch. The prop’s thrust is enhanced with a Rice Speed nozzle. This system will give the vessel a cruising speed of nine knots and a bollard pull of 8.2 tonnes. Increased efficiencies To meet the IMO tier III emissions, the QSK19 main engine is fitted with an SCR after treatment including DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) injection unit. The system utilises pressurised air to atomize the DEF for better mixing and a complete chemical reaction. This system allows for reduced consumption of DEF. Multiple housing and configurations are available for these SCR aftertreatment systems. Cummins technicians were able to take advantage of the significant space between the engine room deckhead and the top of the QSK19 main engine. The arrangement allows ample access to the main engine while facilitating ready access for technicians to the service panel The engine and aftertreatment system are integrated, controlled and monitored through an electronic interface which displays system out NOx and NOx conversion efficiency on a monitor in the wheelhouse. On trials, the wheelhouse monitor reported NOx reduction of 91.2%.

The surface area of the controllable Type 32 Bluestreams can be adjusted by up to 27% using the remote technology installed on board the catching vessel “If you have 15-square-metre doors, then you have every size covered all the way down to 10.95 square metres. This is a real benefit for vessels operating across different fisheries,” he commented.

It has taken a few years, and the pandemic that temporarily brought travel to a halt didn’t help in the development process, but the extended test phase for Thyborøn Trawldoor’s fully controllable trawl doors is over We’re open to supplying and customising systems for each of our customers who need a set of controllable doors Henrik Andreassen, Thyborøn ‘‘ 8 The hungBluestreamcontrollablefully-doorsat Serene’s stern

The depth pre-set is just one of the array of features that allow the doors to be controlled during a tow via the wireless communication system. “The feedback from Themis was that this is very beneﬁcial when the crew are asleep and the skipper wants to make a small adjustment during the night. He can just change the setup on the trawl doors without having to wake up four or ﬁve guys,” he said.

There’s also a safety aspect to this, as now that this is done remotely, the crew no longer need to go near the doors for adjustments to be made

Serene sailed home from Skagen with its new 15-squaremetre doors hung at the stern ready for use, as well as with a second set of 15 square metre Bluestreams on board for Antares, and these are already prepared for the full-control technology. 8 awayShootingSerene’s controllable doors during sea trials oﬀ Skagen

Previously, Thyborøn had developed its Flipper doors, in which upper and lower panels could be folded back to adjust the overall surface area of the doors, and the manually adjustable doors with a hydraulic pump used to make alterations to the aspect of the foils whenever the skipper needed to make a change between tows.

According to the company’s Henrik Andreassen, the feedback from the skipper and crew of Swedish pelagic vessel Themis, which was the test bench for the controllable Type 32s, has confirmed that the systems work as expected. “We are that satisfied with the feedback from Themis and we have now made these trawl doors 100% available commercially. We’re open to supplying and customising systems for each of our customers who need a set of controllable doors,” he said, commenting that Themis has used the doors for a variety of fisheries and the crew are convinced that there are advantages compared to older regular pelagic doors. The first commercial pairs have also been supplied, with Shetland pelagic vessel Serene taking a pair of the new doors after spending time in Skagen for maintenance, during which a short trial with the 15-square-metre doors was carried out.

“On the trials with Serene we shot the doors with a preset to maintain them at 30 metres below the surface. This was tested with diﬀerent warp lengths and everything stayed in line,” Henrik Andreassen said.

The development of Vónin’s Falcon and Falcon+ pelagic trawls has echoed the evolution of the mackerel fishery over recent years, most recently with the Faroese fleet switching to this type of gear as the nature of the fishery has changed The Falcon is a speedy hunter, hence the name we used for this compact trawl design Frederik Hansen, Vónin ‘‘ 8 JFK’s pelagic vessel Borgarinn was the first to use one of the ultralong-wing Falcon+ pelagic trawls for mackerel

FISHING TECHNOLOGY FAST AND FLEXIBLE

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldﬁshing.net SEPTEMBER 2022 | 19

“Some of the fleet were able to get trawls that had already been used in Greenland, plus we also had one Falcon 1920 trawl in stock that had been available for hire, so that came into use as well. These pelagic vessels all did much better as they adapted to fish with lightweight trawl gear that would let them tow at 5.5 knots or more and be flexible in manoeuvring to target marks of fast-swimming mackerel.”

“Until a few years ago, mackerel in Faroese waters were mainly on large, tight marks, and the gear that fished well on this was a trawl with a wide opening and a long belly – and there was no need to tow too fast. Up to five knots was enough for mackerel,” explained Vónin’s Frederick Hansen. In contrast, fishing in Greenland and other grounds further west has presented different challenges, with more scattered fish sitting high in the water, and the crucial difference is that these are larger, faster-swimming fish. So when fishing in Faroese waters changed in the same way, with the fishery to the north of the Faroese zone and into international waters, the fleet with its heavier gear that had worked well on smaller mackerel was left at a disadvantage.

This was where the lightweight Falcon trawl with its shorter belly quickly came into its own with the Faroese ﬂeet, having already performed well for Greenlandic trawlers. “The Falcon is a speedy hunter, hence the name we used for this compact trawl design,” Frederik Hansen said.

The next development was the Falcon+. This is much the same trawl, but the forward section has been reengineered to close oﬀ the space between the upper and lower sweeplines with large-mesh netting.

“This effectively extends the wings of the trawl all the way forward to the doors, creating a trawl with extremely long wings,” he explained. The first of these ultra-long-wing trawls was supplied mid-mackerel season last year to JFK’s Borgarinn, and despite the crew’s concerns about handling the gear on board, there were no problems. “This trawl worked very well for Borgarinn,” he said. “It’s a key factor in this fishery to be able to manoeuvre quickly. Especially if the mackerel are heading in a different direction, in a tight turn there’s a danger of losing the fish that’s in the trawl mouth out between the sweeplines. So these extended wings herd the fish more effectively into theHegear.”added that the development process hasn’t ended there, and more of Vónin’s Capto rope is now going into the construction of these trawls, now taking this all the way back to the 2000mm meshes. “Even if the mesh sizes and the rope dimensions are the same as before, using Capto rope in these meshes makes the trawl lighter and better to tow. Now the season for mackerel is about to start and we’re waiting to see what this fishing patterns are going to look like,” he said, adding that Vónin’s Twister doors have been shown to be a perfect fit with the Falcon trawls. “These are very good doors. When the mackerel are high in the water, these doors will stay stable at five or ten metres below the surface. We’ve had a lot of positive feedback on these.”

A side from the innovative crab cooking equipment, the crab line also includes a butchering station, and the capacity to grade and clean, freeze and glaze of up to 20 tonnes of crab legs per day. The dual shrimp processing line includes by-catch separators, grading and cooking. Cooked shrimp are frozen in two IQF freezers with a daily capacity of 22 tonnes of IQF frozen shrimp. Also, five vertical freezers ensure a 20-tonne capacity for shrimp in blocks. Following the processing lines, all finished products proceed to a compact solution for automatic sorting of the products. Each product type is then palletised in clean pallets for minimum handling on shore. The Carsoe factory deck also includes an elevator to the cargo hold as well as an offloading elevator shipside with flexible offloading height towards quayside, compensating for high and low tides.

The moonpool is expected to lead to more efficient fishing as the vessel is less vulnerable to tough weather. It is also designed to ensure gentler handling of the catch. According to Carsoe, a primary focus in the production design has been to reduce the steam from cooking the crab catch. Therefore, a carefully planned production flow encapsulates the steam and prevents it from being released to the production environment.

The analysis says these dynamics will combine to reduce farmer proﬁtability in the closing six months of 2022.

China’s demand is hard to predict, it says, explaining that shrimp imports improved strongly but are still below pre-pandemic levels. With regards to key shrimp production areas, Rabobank advises that Ecuador continues to rapidly increase its output, despite the lower prices, while India is unlikely to match the harvests it achieved in the second-half of last year. Export growth continues in both Vietnam and Indonesia. “We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the shrimp industry but expect a challenging period in the short term,” Nikolik said. Meanwhile, the analysis conﬁrms that the ﬁshmeal supply remains relatively stable, and the record-high prices of vegetable substitutes are making marine ingredients relatively competitive in feed formulas.

Persistently high production costs will undermine sales in the second-half of 2022, determines new analysis from the RaboResearch unit of Rabobank

For latest news and analysis go to www.worldﬁshing.net

Compared to the end of 2021 and the start of 2022, the global demand for seafood can be expected to be softer in the closing six months of this year. That’s according to Rabobank’s Global Aquaculture Update 2H 2022.

SEPTEMBER 2022 | 21

Chinese hopes Rabobank’s Senior Global Specialist – Seafood Gorjan Nikolik, who compiled the report commented that the US remains a strong demand driver for seafood, but that foodservice demand is clearly declining. “This could be the beginning of a long challenging period in the US. But China has the potential to be the key driver of demand for shrimp, and possibly salmon, in Q4 2022,” Nikolik said. “Though we remain optimistic that China will once again become an important driver of shrimp and salmon demand before the end of the year, COVID lockdowns and import restrictions greatly decrease the probability.” The report also projects that feed, freight and energy costs will remain high and could increase in the secondhalf of this year. For salmon farmers, a large part of 2021 and the ﬁrst-half of 2022 was marked by record proﬁtability, driven entirely by high price levels, it highlights. And it forecasts that prices will partly normalise but remain high through to the end of 2022.

Market constraints

In contrast, Rabobank projects that if the shrimp supply continues to expand as it did in the ﬁrst-half of this year or if demand further declines due to recessionary consumer behaviour, then prices could fall below breakeven for farmers.

Subtitled “On the Brink of Recession”, this analysis also forecasts salmon and shrimp farmers are likely to see their profits decline from recent highs, and that the remaining months of this year may be challenging. According to Rabobank, both production sectors experienced record demand and prices in the first half of this year, but that the supply dynamics have been very different, with a strong supply growth in shrimp and the largest contraction (-6%) in the salmon supply since 2016. The report states that recessionary dynamics have already started in both the EU and the US in the midst of their pandemic recoveries, and that this will lead to cooling foodservice demand and a switch back to retail in both regions.

It said that in some cases, this has already happened, adding that “as in many other agricultural sectors, supply only responds when farmer proﬁtability is clearly impacted”.

For Europe, Rabobank reckons the Nordic salmon industry will experience a supply recovery in the second-half of this year but will also face lower (albeit still high) prices.

REPORT: SEAFOOD DEMAND WEAKENING

It also suggests that China presents “an unpredictable factor” in the second-half of the year and that its rising demand for imported seafood could potentially present an upside for both shrimp and salmon producers, especially in theThisfourth-quarter.isas long as COVID-related lockdowns and import restrictions are not re-introduced, it oﬀers.

And yet, the industry is still expected to generate healthy positive margins, it states.

However, due to the long production cycle, high feed costs have yet to be fully incorporated into the cost function.

The US and EU markets drove shrimp demand in 2021 and the early part of this year, but the report anticipates that this growth is “likely to cool oﬀ” as inﬂation has been reducing disposable incomes in the second-half of 2022.

“Xanthella designs and supplies better bioreactors for both research and industrial manufacturing,” explained Dr Douglas McKenzie, chief executive of Xanthella Ltd. “We can utilise light intensities and wavelengths in diﬀerent ways to better understand the eﬀects of light on biology. We’re at an interesting time because of LEDs, which allow us to do things now that we weren’t able to do even 10 years ago.”

In May 2022, a team of researchers in Scotland found that green light plays a key role in enhancing the production of a compound found in algae, which can be used as a valuable ingredient for promoting health and wellbeing in humans. With support from the Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC), researchers at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and Xanthella, a company in Oban that specialises in photobioreactors, found that green LED lights enhance the production of fucoxanthin, a pigment that can be used for antiinﬂammatory, anti-obesity and anti-oxidant dietary suppl Microaements.

Scottish industry McKenzie, Ross and their colleagues believe that producing fucoxanthin using green light and photobioreactors, rather than harvesting it from wild seaweed, could result in new supply chains in Scotland, with opportunities for the algae and aquaculture sectors. For aquaculture, it would be possible to deliver omega3s, lipids and microalgae itself for use in feed, resulting in a

Changing energy The most important driver of microalgae biomass is light. And so for the study, McKenzie, Ross and their colleagues assembled specific wavelengths into the light panels of photobioreactors and mixed and matched them to determine the impact on supplying the microalgae at different growth stages. But there was an unexpected result – although it’s widely understood that blue and red wavelengths of light are important for photosynthesis in plants, the team was surprised to find that green light on its own boosted microalgae growth significantly. “When you change wavelengths of light, you also change the energy that you are giving to a system, so energy could be another factor that impacts growth along with the green light itself,” explained McKenzie. “Green light also penetrates further and is slightly more energetic than red light, so the microalgae may be getting the same number of photons but in a more energetic form. “However, if this was the reason for the effect, we would expect the white lights we used to be better than green so the result was unexpected. We hope to better understand this mechanism in future so that we can amplify it further.”

lgae are currently at the forefront of research for many reasons, including its role in aquafeed and as a sustainable solution for biotechnological applications.

“Fucoxanthin has a lot of beneﬁcial properties and is inherently linked to microalgae growth,” said Michael Ross at SAMS. “Our goal was to enhance its production by giving microalgae a certain wavelength of light in which to grow algae and accumulate fucoxanthin.”

Two studies have highlighted the signiﬁcant role of light in extracting valuable ingredients from microalgae, writes Bonnie Waycott

strong protein source that originates in Scotland. There are also numerous benefits to manufacturing fucoxanthin using green light and photobioreactors – the process requires less energy to deliver significant growth, offers better quality control, is less impacted by seasonality and problems associated with wild harvesting, and offers a more reliable level of output. “Fucoxanthin itself wouldn’t be used in aquaculture but after it has been extracted from microalgae, what remains are essential fatty acids like EPAs or DHAs that are essential for the sustainability of fish farming,” said Ross. “The benefits of manufacturing fucoxanthin using green light are considerable, and our goal is to give specific wavelengths to obtain a faster growth rate or a certain product. We can have full control and get a consistent product, which could reduce operation costs in the long term.”

Greener alternatives Meanwhile at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), researchers are using ultraviolet light to produce and extract plant-based oils from the microalgae Chromochloris zoﬁngiensis. Compared to palm oil, these oils contain more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in blood and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. To produce the oils, an organic acid called pyruvic acid was added to a solution with the microalgae and exposed to ultraviolet light to stimulate photosynthesis. After 14 days, the microalgae was washed, dried and treated with methanol prior to the oils being extracted. With the rapid expansion of oil palm plantations blamed for massive deforestation, cultivating plant oils from microalgae could be a healthier, greener alternative to palm trees. “We have been developing protein-rich microalgae as future foods with our industry partners,” said Professor William Chen of NTU Singapore. “Plant-based proteins and oils are drawing attention as important meat alternatives, while fats and lipids enhance taste. As there are natural microalgae rich in all of these, we are currently developing a microalgae-based sustainable supply of lipids, fats and oils for plant-based food products.”

“Light is critical to our work in that it provides lots of opportunities to do things that we haven’t done before,” said McKenzie. “We can use this recent study with fucoxanthin as a case example of how photobioreactors can be used to produce perfect control environments. Our next step is to work out how to do this more cheaply and at scale.”

Wider potential Like the research team in Scotland, Chen and his colleagues believe that there is potential to work with aquaculture and other industries, for example by tailormaking ﬁsh feed using microalgae-based ingredients.

“There are many research avenues to look at when it comes to fucoxanthin, for example seasonal variations, time to harvest, variations within the algae themselves and when fucoxanthin peaks,” said Ross. “It will also be interesting to see what other products green light stimulates and whether there are potential markets for those.”

We have been developing protein-rich microalgae as future foods with our industry partners Professor William Chen, NTU Singapore ‘‘ Chen and his team also found that ultraviolet light played a signiﬁcant role in increasing the lipid yield in microalgae. Ultraviolet irradiation is known to aﬀect lipid composition in microalgae more as a survival strategy under stressful conditions, said Chen. For example, lipid-derived pigments such as carotenoids can increase under UV irradiation to protect chloroplasts, the engine of microalgae growth.

In addition to the food industry and plant-based products, the group is also exploring pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses of the oils in products such as topical creams and lipsticks. Microalgae have long been looked to as a potential protein source and for use in other products, but several species have proved challenging to cultivate. Hopes are high that the work in Scotland and Singapore is making the species more accessible, and that light could shed further information on the growth and productivity of microalgae, as well as a more eﬃcient extraction of valuable ingredients.

NEW SUBMERSIBLE FISH PEN FROM INNOVASEA

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

SEPTEMBER 2022 | AQUACULTURE25

Boston, US-headquartered aquaculture tech company has developed a new rugged but lightweight solution designed to alleviate ﬁsh stress through a smooth buoyancy control system

The SeaProtean Pen is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and can be raised and lowered by a single worker by simply opening a valve. This enables operators to easily avoid rough seas or significant storms that would batter traditional surface pens, protecting not only the farm’s infrastructure but also its fish stocks. Unlike other submersible HDPE pens, the smooth movement provided by the three-chambered buoyancy system prevents fish stocks from experiencing dangerous barotrauma. It also gives farm personnel the precision necessary to find the perfect depth and water temperature for the species being“Thegrown.SeaProtean Pen is a versatile addition to our lineup of tough, submersible offshore fish pens,” Innovasea CEO David Kelly said. “By delivering improved functionality and premium capabilities at a lower price point, SeaProtean will bring open ocean aquaculture to new regions and accelerate the journey from planning and permitting to production and profit.” According to Innovasea, SeaProtean’s HDPE components make it more affordable than other submersible pens, while the ability to “effortlessly raise and lower” SeaProtean makes it ideal for locations where aesthetics or stakeholder opposition are a concern.The pen can also incorporate Innovasea’s underwater feeding solution, which allows operators to feed fish stocks while the pen is submerged, reducing missed feed days, boosting growth rates and improving feed conversion ratios. It can also be equipped with Innovasea’s optional mortality trap, which lowers operational costs by reducing the need for divers. 8 A single operator can raise or lower the SeaProtean pen simply by opening a valve • •

Global technology company ABB has secured a repeat order with Seﬁne Shipyard to deliver a comprehensive power and propulsion system to a second Frøy live-ﬁsh carrier

The Rack seawater cooler has proven to be well-suited onboard vessels that operate with large loads and at low speeds.

Norwegian shipbuilder Larsnes Mek Verksted AS has awarded a contract to Ålesund-based Hydroniq Coolers, who will deliver a hull-integrated seawater cooling system to a newbuild wellboat “Larsnes Mek will through this contract actually receive ‘Rack’ system number 100 for use as central cooling on board a ship. This is a great milestone for us, and we think it is nice that ship system number 100 goes to a shipyard that has been an important customer for many years,” said Hans Robert Almestad, vice president sales & marketing at Hydroniq Coolers.

The system will comprise ABB’s Onboard DC Grid and a distribution solution designed speciﬁcally for integrating ﬁsh-handling equipment and other specialised equipment.

ABB LIVE FISH HYBRID CONTRACT

The value of the contract has not been disclosed. “From what we understand, this newbuild will be equipped with a propulsion system that enables zero emissions during closed transport, plus other technology to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Our Rack seawater cooler saves both space and energy, so we believe that our technology is a good match for the wellboat’s environmental and technological proﬁle,” Almestad said.

The wellboat, NB71, is designed by Skipskompetanse AS and is number 11 in a series of vessels that have been designed by the company. The vessel will have storage capacity of 2,800 cubic metres and equipped for both open and closed transport of ﬁsh and smolt. It will be 79.27 metres long and 15 metres wide. Hydroniq Coolers will deliver its Rack seawater cooler to the wellboat. This type of marine cooling system is integrated in the hull below the main engine room of the vessel, where it reduces temperatures in the ship’s engines and other auxiliary systems through use of seawater to avoid overheating the engine and other critical systems.

8 Larsnes Mek will deliver the vessel to wellboat operator Rostein in the second quarter of 2023

LARSNES MEK PLACES WELLBOAT COOLING ORDER

Hydroniq Coolers will manufacture and assemble the equipment at its headquarters in Aalesund, Norway, and deliver it to Larsnes Mek at Larsnes, Møre og Romsdal county.

According to ABB, the solution will optimise energy use onboard by drawing on the vessel’s four engines or its energy storage system or a combination of both, as needed. The power setup will be managed by ABB’s integrated Power and Energy Management System (PEMS).“Frøy aims to be a leader in the development of services that contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture industry,” said Einride Wingan, Responsible Newbuilding, Frøy. “We are constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency of our operations and the welfare of the fish. With ABB technology, our vessels are equipped with best-in-class solutions to meet the needs of fish farmers today and in the future.” Sefine Shipyard’s Business Development and Technical Procurement Director Selçuk Bakanoğlu said the company was looking forward to continuing its collaboration with ABB to deliver another state-of-the-art hybrid vessel for Frøy. “Featuring ABB’s renowned power system Onboard DC Grid, plus an innovative DC distribution solution designed especially for live-fish carriers, both vessels will be at the forefront of sustainable aquaculture for years to come.” While fish-handling systems have traditionally used AC solutions, ABB’s Onboard DC Grid enables a DC setup. This requires fewer components, filters and other equipment and simplifies the configuration of the frequency converter solution. “Based on their positive experience of the solution on Gåsø Odin, Frøy and Sefine Shipyard have again chosen to rely on ABB to deliver a comprehensive power and propulsion system for another forward-looking livefish carrier,” said Rune Braastad, Business Line Manager, Marine Systems, ABB Marine & Ports. 8 microalgaePowderedthat has been washed, dried, and treated with methanol by NTU researchers, with a vial of oil produced from microalgae on the right
