Marine Harvest web published a salmon farming industry handbook dated March 2008.
Marine Harvest states that the document has been produced to give financial analysts, investors and others an insight into the salmon farming industry and Marine Harvest’s view of the most important value drivers.
In overview the document covers:
- global overview on salmon
- salmon biology
- salmon farming
- key inputs
- key global geographies
- processing
- supply and demand
- comparisons with other protein sources
- research and development
At eighty pages filled with explanatory data, tables and images I certainly found it a great introduction to the key issues in the Salmon Industry from a global perspective. It is a valuable contribution to aquaculture knowledge.
