15 slides from Icelandic Salmon As's conference presentation, Oct 8, 2024
Slide 1: Environmental Surveillance and Image of Sea Farming
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE AND IMAGE OF SEA FARMING BJÖRN HEMBRE – LAGARLÍF 8 TH OCTOBER 2024
Slide 2: Sustainability – a double-edged sword
Slide 3: Important for Everyone: Protein Need
IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE PROTEIN NEED AQUACULTURE IS A KEY PART OF THE SOLUTION – ATLANTIC SALMON IS STILL SMALL, BUT IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE AQUACULTURE REVOLUTION • The world population is increasing and expected to be 10,000,000,000 in 2050 • This increase demand more protein production • The land
Slide 4: The Green Side of the Sword
THE GREEN SIDE OF THE SWORD CO2 AND HEALTHY FOOD Everyone loves salmon, but it seems that people dislikes the farmer… Why? SUSTAINABILITY – IT’S IN OUR NATURE 5
Slide 5: Environmental Surveillance
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE WHAT CAN SEAFARMING AFFECT IN THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT? WILD STOCKS OF SALMONIDS • Escapes • Lice • Diseases THE SEABED • Organic load • Copper BIODIVERSITY • Delicing medicines • Organic load SUSTAINABILITY – IT’S IN OUR NATURE 6
Slide 6: Development of Wild Stocks of Salmonids
DEVELOPMENT OF WILD STOCKS OF SALMONIDS IS SALMON FARMING TO BLAME? ICELAND SPAIN WILD SALMON STOCKS ARE UNDER STRONG PRESSURE NORWAY SCOTLAND SUSTAINABILITY – IT’S IN OUR NATURE 7
Slide 7: Wild Stocks of Salmonids: Escapes and Lice
WILD STOCKS OF SALMONIDS ESCAPES AND LICE ESCAPES, HOW TO PREVENT AND MITIGATE LICE, HOW TO CONTROL • Control of smolt size • Lice counting every week • Certified equipment in sea, NS-standard • Regional cooperation of monitoring lice situation • Inspections of nets: • Preventive measures: • Every 3
Slide 8: Wild Stocks of Salmonids: Diseases
WILD STOCKS OF SALMONIDS DISEASES Health risks1 A pure farming region • Fewer diseases in Iceland compared to the rest of the salmon producing regions. Pancreas Disease (“PD”) — There are 3 diseases that cause significant loss in other salmon producing regions that are not found in Icela
Slide 9: The Seabed: Results
THE SEABED RESULTS BOTTOM SAMPLING • According to regulation we need to do bottom sampling 100% 0% 0% 0% 0% 7% at peak biomass and after resting period (Fallow) before 13% next generation output 80% 25% 43% • We see that during peak biomass in the production cycle that 60% 4 - Very bad there is impa
Slide 10: The Seabed: Theoretical Impact of Farming on a Threshold Fjord
THE SEABED WHAT IS THE THEORETICAL IMPACT OF FARMING ON A THRESHOLD FJORD? Actual oxygen saturation in 2019 (Actual average biomass trough the year was 7.000 tonn) Calculated natural oxygen saturation, due to natural production in the fjord (down to 38% oxygen saturation) Calculated oxygen saturatio
Slide 11: Biodiversity: Impact on the Seabed
BIODIVERSITY IMPACT ON THE SEABED SUSTAINABILITY – IT’S IN OUR NATURE 12

Slide 13: The Seabed: Copper
THE SEABED COPPER NATURAL LEVELS OF COPPER IN ICELAND ARE HIGH • In regulation nr. 796/1999 the limits for copper in sediments on the seabed is from very low to very high: • Low levels 40-70 mg/kg • Upper limit for natural levels 70-250 mg/kg • High levels 260 - 1,300 mg/kg • Very high levels >1.300
Slide 14: Summary
SUMMARY OVERVIEW THE IMAGE OF SEA FARMING THE COMPANIES NEED TO DO THIS IN THE RIGHT WAY • Farmed salmon is one of the best protein production in the world • Keep on monitoring the environmental impact • Low feed conversion rate (FCR) • Educate and inform people • Low CO2 footprint • Secure good fis
