Actual growth period with larger smolt

  • Reduced risk
  • Up to 6 months reduced growth period will reduce risk significantly
  • Reduced mortality
  • Fewer treatments and lower treatment costs
  • Organic growth
  • Shorter production cycle in farms will increase production
  • Around 30% theoretical growth potential with size increase from 100g to 500g

Results with large smolt in the Faroe Islands

A GOOD REGULATORY FARMING ENVIRONMENT

During the period 2001-2004 the Faroe Islands were severely struck by ISA outbreaks

New legislation and regulation was introduced in 2003 known as "The Faroese Veterinary Model":

  • One generation based farming model
  • Fallowing periods between each generation
  • Immunisation and vaccination programs
  • Restricting movement of equipment and fish
  • Density limits introduced
  • Brood stock facilities allowed on land only
  • Fish for harvest not allowed in open waiting cages at harvest station
  • Minimum distances between farms and hatcheries
  • Rules to fight and control sea-lice introduced

The Model has resulted in one of the most predictable fish production environments in the world with good KPI for salmon farming, such as FCR, Mortality and Growth rate

Key Performing Indicators developed positively post New Veterinary System

The mortality rate with the Faroese Veterinary Model has been between 5 and 10%, compared to 20 to 25% before – even though the annual production has never been higher than now.
