Laser has proven to be effective against salmon lice and gentle on the salmon. After extensive evaluation at Cermaq in Finnmark and at Ballangen in Nordland, lasers will be put into use at suitable facilities in Nordland and Finnmark.
Is salmon farming sustainable? It is when done right. In Cermaq’s sustainability report we present how we address the challenges in producing healthy seafood in a sustainable way and our ambition to do more.
The use of the ocean by many industries has not sufficiently respected the multiple roles and complex biodiversity in the ocean, Cermaq recognizes in launching Sea the Solution. As research unfolds fact and casual relationships, we are better positioned to move from harm to harmony. And we must all take part.
Survival rate for Atlantic salmon last year was 95% with variances between areas showing the potential for further improvement. Scoring fish welfare on three levels; environmental, population and individual is an important tool to increase survival rate.
For the first time, swimming fish have been sorted in a net pen. This is a big step forward for improved fish health and increased survival in salmon farming.
Cermaq awarded for its work to improve fish welfare. Close follow-up and simple measures has improved the quality and survival of the fry.
As salmon farmers, we have a great responsibility to contribute to a healthy ocean and cut our greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030. More electric boats and facilities, renewable energy, climate-friendly transport and feed will be important measures.
2020 will stand out as the year remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenging global situation also confirmed that our industry is an essential industry, and we managed to keep up our operations supplying global markets strongly influenced by the pandemic.
Cermaq, being an active partner in the Global Salmon Initiative (GSI), proudly shares the GSI press release on the launch of the sustainability report. The report includes data 14 sustainability metrics across 40% of global farmed salmon industry.
Cermaq aims to improve fish health and welfare with iFarm. The five-year project is the first of its kind and will allow for an individualized fish approach to salmon farming. Now, the first fish have been transferred in Cermaq's iFarm.
In a new report, mainstream sustainability indicators are linked to key activities to meet the overarching global challenges of climate action, ocean health, biodiversity, reducing the footprint of food production and creating shared value.
