Marketing Challenge – Premium Offshore Farmed Fish

Introduction

The growing world population demands healthier aquacultured seafood, such as farmed salmon. However, the supply of farmed salmon is struggling to keep up with demand. The fjords in Norway, Chile, the Faroes and elsewhere have almost reached the limits of how many fish farms they can sustainably contain. This has opened for aquaculture innovations that may bring the industry further out in the ocean – closer to the natural habitat of the salmon.
