Hybrid flow-through can be a game changer for the salmon industry, but capital and supporting legislation are needed, according to Rabobank. Gorjan Nikolik really makes the case for using this technology to increase salmon supply, pointing out the symbiotic relationship between environment and welfare. Great to see some Spheric Research data contributing to this research note. Read Rabobank’s article…
Join hosts George Crocker and Matt Craze, live from Gloucester, Massachusetts, as they take a deep dive into the latest findings from Spheric Research‘s Land-Based Aquaculture Report. In this short episode, Matt unpacks the growing trend of cultivating fish and shellfish on land using recirculating technology. Matt is the main author of the Land-based Aquaculture Report, which Spheric Research…
If you buy trout from a Helsinki supermarket, more likely than not, it was grown from egg to plate in a recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) facility. Finnforel recently expanded its capacity to 3,000 metric tons a year, meaning two suppliers in the Scandinavian country — Finnforel and Fifax — account for almost half of global installed supply of trout…
Land-based Aquaculture Update: In 2021, Spheric Research identified a group of companies poised to lead the way in the deployment of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) technology. These projects will provide an industry benchmark, taking the focus away from the earliest innovators. 🔍 What’s Coming Next?: From Monday we will share a week of snapshot insights from our upcoming fourth edition report, highlighting…
Spheric Research and Matt Craze feature prominently on Babbage, The Economist‘s science podcast. Science correspondent Abby Bertics does a really nice job unpacking the opportunity for RAS to become part of the global seafood supply chain, traveling to Norway to Salten Salmon AS ‘s post-smolt project and TransparentSea in California in a deep dive into the industry. David Cahill…
I got a tip from Norwegian equity analyst Christian Olsen at Kepler Cheuvreux that there was a potentially disruptive South Korean salmon company farming salmon offshore. As Seoul is a short hop over the Yellow Sea from Qingdao and the China Seafood conference, I decided to investigate further. Donghae STP was enormously accommodating and planned a meticulous agenda for my…
Salmon executives are treated to the impressive volcano views of Puerto Varas when they visit the bi-annual AquaSur event in southern Chile. AquaSur rotates with the AquaNor salmon trade fair, which is traditionally held in Trondheim, Norway.The theme this year was unquestionably the future of omega-3 feed ingredients in the salmon industry. Veramaris, the joint venture of Royal DSM…
Back in June I collected my MBA degree in New York and headed to Montana state to visit Cargill’s canola omega-3 crop program in Montana state. Growing omega-3 on the Great Plains to feed Atlantic salmon in the fjords of Norway and Chile is a remarkable development. Montana farmers are on the periphery of America’s best farmland soil. The…
Matt just returned from Trondheim, Norway and a busy four days at the salmon industry’s biannual get together, working on the forthcoming feed report to be published by Undercurrent News. The salmon industry is booming, and hundreds of service providers want a piece of the action, selling everything from life jackets to gigantic offshore cages that have been crafted…
