World salmon aquaculture standards to be established

More than 80 of the world’s salmon aquaculture industry stakeholders – including producers, NGO representatives, retailers, government representatives and scientists – met in Edinburgh this week to move forward with developing global standards for salmon aquaculture

The aim of the standards is to  minimise or eliminate the salmon farming industry’s key impacts on the environment and society.

From the innovation perspecitve, this could spell openings for solutions that directly address priority areas identified at the ‘Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue’

    The increased supplies of Salmon in the market led to fall in prices which appeared to create more problems to traditional fisheries than to farmed producers who were able to reduce production costs and Improve marketing. The standards if established now I guess will in one way impact to increased costs of production hence result to poor returns or failure of operations for traditional fisheries
