White paper on aquaculture regulations in Norway

  • On 10 April, the Norwegian government released a white paper on aquaculture. The white paper was the next step in the political process of reviewing aquaculture regulations in Norway, following the report from the Nøstbakken Committee in September 2023.
  • However, while the Nøstbakken Committee suggested improvements within the existing license framework, the white paper goes much further. The proposal is to phase out the current license regime and introduce lice quotas instead, built upon the current Traffic Light System, in addition to the introduction of environmental taxes.
  • Mowi agrees with the Norwegian Seafood's Federation's recommendation that the political process should be postponed until proper impact assessments have been made. Mowi also finds it challenging that the entire white paper and the system it proposes rests on a weak scientific foundation. According to the government, the purpose of the system is to regulate the actual impact of aquaculture on the environment, fish health, and fish welfare. Before systems like those presented in the report can be considered, a precise and robust methodology for measuring actual sea lice impact must be introduced. It is also necessary to assess the aquaculture industry's relative impact on wild salmon compared to other influencing factors.
  • Timeline:
    • − 13 May. Oral consultation in the Norwegian Business Committee
    • − 12 June. Parliamentary debate and consideration

Dividend policy

  • Mowi's ambition is to create long-term value for the shareholder through both positive share price development and a growing dividend in line with long-term earnings
    • − Quarterly ordinary dividend shall under normal circumstances be at least 50% of underlying earnings per share (EPS)
    • − Excess capital will be paid out as extraordinary dividends
  • When deciding excess capital the Board of Directors will take into consideration expected cash flow, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and appropriate financial flexibility. Further to this a long-term target level for net interest-bearing debt is determined, reviewed and updated on a regular basis
  • Shareholder returns are distributed primarily as cash dividends with the option of using share buybacks as a complementary supplement on an ad-hoc basis

Salmon and land farmed animals have different reproductive strategies

External Fertilisation

  • R-strategists
  • higher number of reproductive cells
  • lower survival rates
  • more influenced by environmental conditions

Internal Fertilisation

  • K-strategists
  • lower number of reproductive cells
  • higher survival rates
  • less influenced by environmental conditions

Farmed salmon have much higher survival rates than wild salmon

Atlantic salmon production time is significantly longer than for most land farmed animals, and mortality rates are therefore naturally higher...

Source: Land animals- Animalia Norway (2023). Mortality rates refers to the average mortality rates during the on growing phase for aquatic animals. Freshwater mortality of 4% for growth period of 9-14 months (Mowi's data).

...however, monthly mortality rates for farmed salmon are significantly lower than for the majority of land animal proteins

MONTHLY MORTALITY (%)

Source: Animalia (2023) and Mowi's own data; complete production cycle (freshwater + seawater)

Mortality rates for Atlantic Salmon relatively stable over the past 30 years
