Selected regulations and future development of salmon farming in Norway

Transcription

1 Stirling, 8 October 2013 Selected regulations and future development of salmon farming in Norway Ulf Winther, Research Director, SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture 1

2 My presentation in brief Glimpses of the Norwegian salmon farming industry Potential for the marine industries in Norway 2

3 Harvest of salmon and trout Source: Directorate of Fisheries 20012: 1,312 mill tonnes salmon and trout Approx 300 mill smolts were stocked in % of salmon is exported as head on gutted

4 Licences to farm salmon - on two levels Company level licence A specific permit to farm for the company One licence is 780 tonnes MAB (945 tonnes in Troms/Finnmark) A company or group may have several licences, limited upwards to 40 % of the total number of licences We still have companies with 1-3 licenses 1040 licences all together in 2012 operated by 164 companies You can't farm salmon with a company level license only! 4

5 You have to have a permit to farm on sites Site level The MAB on a site is set by the public authorities after an environmental assessment NS 9410 MOM Standard MAB varies from tonnes MAB to tonnes MAB on each site The total number of approved sites was 1001 in 2012 The number of sites in use is reduced 5

6 Green licences Licences are given out by announcement from the Ministry of Fisherries and Coastal Affairs 45 new licences was announced this year so called green licences Application deadline was 1 October Either: Reduce occurence of sea lice to below 0,25 sexually mature female lice per fish (ordinary requirement is 0,5) Or reduce risk of escapes Some of the licences have extended requirements 6

7 Why is it important to look into the future? In Norway the oil and gas industry has a very strong position It is important to show the potential of creating value for the industry and the society based on marine resources The decision makers need to know The policy makers And the industry needs to know! 7

8 This is the second time In 1999 a group of people with visions for the potential based on marine resources looked at the potential in A new initiative in 2012 what was the real production and value in 2010? And what is the future potential? Working group Dr Karl A. Almås, CEO SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture (chairman) Dr Christina Abildgaard, head of department, Norwegian Research Council Dr Edel Elvevoll, dean, University of Tromsø Jørn Krog, County Governor, South-Trondelag County Leif Inge Nordhammer, former CEO, SalMar ASA Dr Yngvar Olsen, professor, Institute for biology, NTNU Dr Asgeir J. Sørensen, professor, Institute for marine technique, NTNU Kristian Overskaug, secretary general, DKNVS Authors Trude Olafsen, Ulf Winther, Yngvar Olsen and Jorunn Skjermo 8

9 Global and national trends and drivers Climate change Urbanization Environmental sustainability Technological development National trends and drivers Norwegian Seafood Cluster Expertise R&D Environmental sustainability Access to capital The coast as a resource Political framework Need for food Need for energy Health 11

10 Marine value creation in 2050 PRESENT CORE BUSINESSES NEW BUSINESSES Fisheries Salmon farming Ingredients Farming "new" species Feed Supplier industry Expertise Marine algae Highly productive seas Value in 2050: 50 billion GBP

11 Salmon farming Volume 2050: Environmental issues solved New and predictable regulations Strong political will Strong demand for salmon BRIC countries Innovations within feed, fish health, engineering/technology 14

12 Marine ingredients Global market worth 4,5 bill USD per year 4-10 % growth per year Rest raw materials from aquaculture and fisheries (well established) Harvest and cultivate macro algae (Established and growing industry) Marine bio prospecting (new industry) Marine ingredients industry 15

13 Feed resources for the future 6 million tons - sounds like an impossible task? Increase already exploited resources: Harvested resources from fisheries not directly utilized for human consumption (30 50 million tons) Discards from fisheries and losses from processing (maximum 50 million tons) Agricultural products and agricultural rest raw material Potential resources not exploited: Zooplankton (e.g. krill and other crustaceans) Macro algae Single cell biomass Micro algae Bacteria/yeast Other single cell organisms (Thraustochyrider, potential DHAsource) Agricultural rest raw material 18

14 The importance of the supplier industry No. of jobs / Million NOK Supplier industry Exports Fish processing Fish farming Fisheries No. jobs Contribution to GDP 19

15 The supplier industry Future opportunities Increased Norwegian production Increased international demand global increase in aquaculture Synergies towards oil/gas and maritime industries 20

16 Marine value creation in 2050 PRESENT CORE BBUSINESSES NEW BUSINESSES Fisheries Salmon farming Ingredients Farming "new" species Feed Supplier industry Expertise Marine algae Highly productive seas Value in 2050: 100 billion USD

17 Marine algae Micro algae (cultivated) Productive single cell organisms species Produce omega-3 and -6fatty acids Many valuable components Macro algae (seaweed and kelp) Ca tons harvested in Norway Ca 15,8 mill tons cultivated world wide Ideal for Norwegian coast - use nutrients from salmon Many valuable components 22

18 Scenario 2050: Value in 2050: 550 billion NOK 50 billion GBP The potential Average annual growth: 4,9 % Høyproduktive Highly productive seas havområder Marine alger algae Nye New arter farmed species Leverandørindustri Supplier Highly productive industry incl. seas feed inkl.fôrproduksjon Marine ingredients ingrediensindustri Havbruk, Salmon and laks trout og ørret farming Fiskerinæringen Fisheries 26

19 A few concluding remarks Yes, marine production in 2050 is definitely more than salmon! The working group drew up 10 advices to the politicians A development like this needs resources e.g. for a considerable amount of R&D Strengthen and develop the existing industry Even more resource demanding to develop new industries Political will is necessary - and the industry itself has to see the potential and act! 27
