WHAT IS HEALTHY SALMON?
Good health is maintained when:
- The salmon is robust
- Environment is optimal and threats mitigated
- Biological threats are well controlled
Salmon farming is about being in control of biology in a difficult environment
- Key success factors
- A sustainable, well organised, value chain
- Management of external risks through trust and cooperation
Bakkafrost has an excellent track record in the Faroes

Bakkafrost has reduced reliance on third party contracts
- Flexibility to adapt to ever changing circumstances
- Outweighs short term benefits from outsourcing
- Increasing economies of scale within Bakkafrost
FAROE ISLANDS – FACTORS UNDER OWN CONTROL GENETICS – ORIGIN BASED BROODSTOCK PROGRAMME
Bakkafrost owns the Intellectual Rights of two origin-based salmon strains:
Benefits
- Better control and more predictable
- Select salmon families better adapted to the local environment and resistance to disease
- Shorter learning cycles and rapid advancements due to integrated broodstock programme
- Avoid reliance on a consolidated group of third party suppliers
Bakkafrost will be self-sufficient with roe in 2024
FAROE ISLANDS – FACTORS UNDER OWN CONTROL SMOLT QUALITY AND SIZE
- Seawater phase is the most risky part of salmon farming
- Smolt size and quality is instrumental in managing risks
- Large developments over 10 years with industrialised recirculation plants to optimise control of biology
- Plan to reach average smolt size of 500g in 2022
- Successful development of state of the art hatcheries
Average weight and number of released smolt
FAROE ISLANDS – FACTORS UNDER OWN CONTROL EXPERIENCE FROM HARVESTED FISH FROM LARGE SMOLT
- Hatchery at Strond produces high quality and large size smolt
- Large smolts grow strongly after release
- Very low feed conversion rate
bFCR FCR (Salmon from large smolt at Strond)
FAROE ISLANDS – FACTORS UNDER OWN CONTROL NATURAL MARINE BASED FEED
Salmon has its natural place in the food chain
- In house, tailored feed production to optimise diet
- Conversion of locally caught, non-edible marine recourse
- Mix with plant-based ingredients
- Strong ties between diet and fish health

4.1bn DKK invested past 8 years 400 500 600 700 800 Investments (mDKK)
FAROE ISLANDS – FACTORS UNDER OWN CONTROL SEAWATER PRACTICES AND ASSETS
Marine farming staff are guardians against most external threats
• Fish welfare is the primary focus
High focus on having competent, trained staff with short decision lines
• Sharing culture and common systems
Marine farming staff is equipped with advanced technology
- Modern and robust seawater equipment
- Modern well boats and farming service vessels (FSV)
- o Gentle and protected live fish transport
- o Net cleaning, non-chemical delousing and emergency handling
Structure of production zones
- Well adapted regulatory framework
- Few players to agree on coordination
- Largely segregated production areas
- Autonomy to adjust production cycles/fallowing periods
Licenses
- Licenses give right to utilize given area of fjords for farming fish
- No MAB, but strict regulative measures on farming activity maintaining environmental sustainability
Benefits
External risks efficiently mitigated
SCOTLAND – RELIANCE ON THIRD PARTY MORE CHALLENGING EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT
- Generally tougher biology
- Reduced flexibility to optimise site locations
- More reliance on third party suppliers
- More players and higher exposure to the neighbours
| Not own control |
Level of control | Own control |
|---|---|---|
| Site flexibility | ||
| Site consolidation | ||
| Coordinated use of large smolt | ||

SCOTLAND KEY INDICATORS OF WEAK PERFORMANCE
- Key indicators show poor efficiency
- Harvested kg per smolt released (yield per smolt)
- High mortality and low harvest weight
- Low ability to convert feed to flesh
- Cleary illustrated by lagging growth track
Yield per smolt (2020)
SCOTLAND - WEAK PERFORMANCE IN THE PAST ROOT CAUSES
Reduced Ability to Manage Biological Threats
- Limited vessel capacity
- Non-medicinal treatment
- Gentle seawater transportation
- Obsolete / under-capacity seawater equipment
- Fragmented smolt production in obsolete plants
- Low quality smolt of around <80g
- Challenging external environment
- Large reliance on third parties
- Poor zone management and limited industry co-ordination
Previously outweighed by biological threats
SCOTLAND – INITIAL STEPS SEAWATER ASSETS, FEED STRATEGY & BEST PRACTICE
Seawater assets were largely underinvested
- Upgrades made to feeding systems
- Feed strategy updated and best practice implemented
- Farming equipment upgraded, e.g:
- Predator-safe nets
- Aeration diffuser systems in pens
- State of the art technology implemented to ensure optimal monitoring of biomass and fish health
- Safety systems allowing staff on site in harsh conditions
Gradual improvements to main KPI's
Biological incidents require rapid treatment or transfers
Limited capacity has been available
- Ample capacity is being made available
- Wellboat with freshwater treatment capability
- FSV with advanced delousing equipment
- Mitigation of an uninsurable risks
- Benefits far outweighs vessels costs
Getting control of the biological risks
SCOTLAND – LARGE SMOLT WILL BE A GAME CHANGER LARGE SMOLT WILL TRANSFORM THE PERFORMANCE
Seawater exposure highest during summer/early autumn
Exposed fish are weakened leading to cumulative mortality
- Large smolt reduces seawater exposure to
- ~12 months ("one summer" cycles)
- New hatcheries supply consistent high quality smolt
- Triggers volume growth (shorter high production cycles per site)
Reducing and significantly outweighing the risk
SCOTLAND – LARGE SMOLT WILL BE A GAME CHANGER REDUCED BIOLOGICAL RISK, ALLOWING FOR "ONE SUMMER" CYCLES
Key benefits:
- Reduce biological risk (in Scotland the salmon will only be exposed to one summer/early autumn)
- Increase production efficiency
- Enable organic growth
Summer/Autumn Risk
SCOTLAND – IMPROVE EXTERNAL FACTORS STRENGTHEN CONTROL REDUCING EXPOSURE TO EXTERNAL FACTORS
Stakeholder Engagement / Collaboration Achieving Control
- Reduce third party reliance
- Value chain investments deliver integrated business model
- Site development & consolidation (larger sites)
- Move framework in direction of Faroese farming model
- "One loch, one operator, one generation"
- Contribute to industry "acting as one"
- Priorities versus regulators
- Promote sustainable framework and geographic segregation
-
Movement of sites from shallow to more exposed waters
-
Comprehensive programme for improvement
- Overall focus on improved animal welfare and performance
- Competent organisation to execute programme
- Largely replication of successful investments and activities in the Faroe Islands
When to expect effect?
- Continue to strengthen performance in the Faroes and transformational improvements on main KPI's in Scotland with 500g smolt
- bFCR <1.05 in the Faroes and <1.10 in Scotland
- Salmon survival rate >94% in the Faroes and >92% in Scotland
- Yield per smolt >4.1 for the Group
- Develop solid integrated value chain for Scottish operation

OUR SUSTAINABILITY CHALLENGE MORE FOOD PRODUCTION FROM THE OCEAN IS NEEDED
The world faces some of its greatest challenges ever
- By 2050, our planet will have about 9.7 billion inhabitants - around 25 percent more than we are today
- By 2050, world food production needs to double, but arable land is declining and arable land in the tropical regions in particular is becoming more and more depleted
- We need to produce as much food in the next 40 years, as we have in the last 8,000!
MORE SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED FOOD NEEDS TO BE SOURCED FROM THE OCEAN
- The biggest threat to the earth is CO2 and other greenhouse gases, gases that we produce through our consumption. As consumption increases, the amount of greenhouse gases produced increases, affecting global warming and leading to climate change.
- The total amount of CO2 we emit has increased by 36% since 1979.
- Opportunities for people and businesses as we take care of the challenges
BAKKAFROST'S TOTAL GHG EMISSION BY SCOPE REDUCING GHG EMISSION IS ONE OF THE MAIN CHALLENGES
Bakkafrost's scope 1 & 2 emissions account for 28% of the total GHG emissions.
Scope 3 emissions account for 72% of Bakkafrost's emissions
By 2030 reduce the scope 1 & 2 CO2 footprint by 50% in the Faroes
- Our aim is to decouple carbon emissions from our production, and we have managed to achieve this in some parts of the value chain – through electrification in areas such as feed barges, recycling of energy (at our hatcheries and feed and processing factories), etc.
- The biogas plant is expected to save 11,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year which represent about 2 % of the total electric power produced in the Faroe Islands in 2020.
- We plan to have our targets approved by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) by early 2022
Feed ingredients account for 50% of the Scope 3 emissions 11
High marine inclusion in feed – with relative low carbon footprint
Bakkafrost has chosen to continue a high inclusion of marine content in our feed, as this is a more sustainable approach for our operations given our location.
Marine ingredients
Fisheries in the North Atlantic, primarily within Faroese waters, transparent supply chain, low demand on freshwater and land compared to imported plant proteins, reduced transportation, supporting circular economy, all off cuts purchased in the Faroes Island, positive economic impact for the Faroese community, increased nutritional value in the feed, high in omega 3 & fishmeal with a diet closer to the natural diet of wild salmon Low FCR, Good fishhealth.
Plant ingredients
The plant proteins and oils in our feed are all non-GMO, all soybeans are Pro-Terra certified and we do not use of palm oil
AIR FREIGHT REDUCE CO2 EMISSION BY CONTROLLING AIR FREIGHT THROUGH OWN CARGO PLANE
Taking control of air freight
- Air Freight accounts for 20% of the scope 3 emissions
- Reduction in CO2 emissions by 40-50%
- Reduce weight of air-freight by
- reduce flown ice
- fly less whole salmon
- Direct transport, shorter flight distance
- More control
- Increased responsiveness, faster delivery
- Longer shelf life, enables reduced food waste
CUSTOMER AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR ENGAGING WITH OUR CUSTOMERS
Reducing the scope 3 emission via consumer behaviour.
We will help make sustainable decision-making easier for consumers by adding environmental data, CO2e pr kg product, available on our packaging.
In cooperation with our customers we want to increase the demand for sustainable salmon and support the shift to a more environmental friendly diet, e.g. our new salmon burger.
Develop more recipes with low carbon cooking methods and recipes with a lower total amount of CO2.
By replacing a traditional burger with a salmon burger, you can cut around 75% of your carbon footprint.
CUSTOMER AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR THE 80/20
The wealthiest 20 per cent of the world's population account for 80 per cent of consumption of global resources
CUSTOMER AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR RELATIVELY SMALL CHANGES CAN HAVE A HUGE IMPACT
Distributed on:
Travel 1 tons, Services 1 tons, Food & drink 3 tons, Electricity, heat, etc. 3 ton, Shopping 4 tons
Worlds total average around 6 tons.
According to UN the average emissions need to be down to 2 tons per person by 2050 (4 tons by 2030)
CUSTOMER AND CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR FROM COUNTING CALORIES TO COUNTING CARBON DIOXIDES
Only 0.5% of the earth's water is available fresh water.
Globally 70% of freshwater is used for agriculture. With a growing population we all need to share this small amount of
freshwater.
1 person drinks
2 to 4 liter of water per day
1 person eats
2,000 to 5,000 liters
of virtual water embedded in food per day

THE SCOTTISH BROODSTOCK PROGRAMME THE HISTORY OF OUR BROODSTOCK
NATIVE HEBRIDEAN: The only truly Scottish farmed salmon
Individually tested for IPN Sentinel populations
DNA assisted markers for family identification
Multipliers speed up genetic improvement
.
THE SCOTTISH BROODSTOCK PROGRAMME OUR 'TRULY SCOTTISH' OPPORTUNITY
- Government-run program since late 1970'ies to around 2013
- Bakkafrost took over developed around 1,000 families
- This selection comprises, an increased resistance to:
- PMCV/CMS (piscine myocarditis virus / cardiomyopathy syndrome)
- IPN (infectious pancreatic necrosis)
- PD (pancreas disease)
- PRV/HSMI (piscine orthoreovirus / heart and skeletal muscle inflammation)
Next goal: Sea lice resistance
Bakkafrost owns the Intellectual Rights of two origin-based salmon strains:
- Better control and more predictable quality
- Robust smolt resistant to deceases
- Short learning cycles and rapid advancements due to integral broodstock programme (FO)
Bakkafrost is building a new large broodstock facility in the Faroe Islands with annual production of 70 million eggs
