SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture
Overview Aiming at all types of stakeholders Regional workshops
Presentations Break-out sessions with round table discussions Ireland and UK Spain and Portugal Scandinavia
Questionnaire 23 Questions Four main topics
Vision and Public Perception Technological development Environmental concerns and bio-security Regulation and planning framework
SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture
Summary main points Vision and Public Perception
Offshore Aquaculture can provide a solution to meeting the FAO forecast
Environmental concerns and bio-security Sustainable development necessary Escapees a big issue in Scandinavia and Ireland/UK
Technological development Further development of cages, nets etc Focus on safety of personnel
Regulation and planning framework Existing framework adequate? Length of licensing process Site designation – marine spatial planning
Industry structure Large regional differences More biomass in each cage and each location

Wild capture Aquaculture
Growing gap between supply and demand for seafood products Aquaculture will be increasingly
important (Marra 2005)
Technological development will play a major role in future expansion of the industry FAO (Subasinghe 2003)
Nearly half the fish consumed as food worldwide are raised on fish farms rather than caught in the wild FAO (2007)
