The impact of sealice on the salmon industry, the global perspective and possible solutions
The impact of sealice on the salmon industry, the global perspective and possible solutions
June 8th FHF arranges this sealice webinar as part of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum Conference
Sealice is one the factor which influences the industry most today.
It determines regulations, it limits growth, it raises environmental issues, and it seriously affects profitability.
But it is a complex issue, and not easy for people outside of the industry to get an understanding of.
This seminar will give a condensed and effective insight into the impact of sealice on the salmon industry.
It will show the impact in the different salmon producing countries, it will show the specific effects on the industry, it will show the efforts within the industry, and it will indicate the possible solutions.
It will be an important source of insight into a major issue affecting the salmon industry.
