7 data FAO, billion US $ industry

8 FOOD versus BUSINESS aquaculture FOOD aquaculture Asia, esp. China - long history - large production - integrated farming

9 FOOD versus BUSINESS aquaculture FOOD aquaculture BUSINESS aquaculture Asia, esp. China - long history - large production - integrated farming Recent developments (since 1960s) Japan, later Europe, America s, etc successful new industry monoculture

10 BUSINESS aquaculture biology technology profitability monoculture approach

11 Global production 2011 (million tonnes) seawater freshwater The global seafood production Wild capture fisheries Aquaculture Ocean Brackish water Inland /fresh water Source: FAO FishstatJ SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture 11

12 red and brown algae farming in China seaweed farming: 21 million ton / year

13 mussel farming scallop farming mollusc farming: 14 million ton / year

14 Global production 2011 (million tonnes) Global production 2011 (million tonnes) Fish Seaweed and molluscs Global top producers 2012 Marine aquaculture fish The global fish and seafood production Norway China Chile Wild capture fisheries Aquaculture Ocean Brackish water Inland /fresh water Source: FAO FishstatJ 5 0 Japan UK Others Production (mill tonnes) SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture 14

15 Atlantic salmon farming in Norway The largest/best production sites metric tonnes salmon per cycle cages Ø 50 meter 40,000 m 3 volume per cage and max fish per cage metric tonnes/man year Exposed but not offshore/open ocean Photo: SINTEF ACE

18 Population growth puts pressure on food resources Global population growth is leading to increased demand for food (+70% by 2050) and pressure on natural food resources. Animal livestock alone will not be capable to meet the need of 70% more proteins, due to its highly negative ecoprint. Terrestrial farming will need 30% more land to meet increased demand. By 2030, a lack of fresh water for agriculture is likely. (source: FAO) Source: SINTEF 18

19 Food gap challenge towards % Increase in food production required* due to change in diets and population growth * World Resources Institute (2014) Creating a Sustainable Food Future

20 proteins quantity Global primary production and food supply total bioproduction contribution to food supply terrestrial plants & animals aquatic fisheries & aquaculture plants & animals 16 % of proteins 2 % in quantity from Field et al. (1998) and Duarte et al. (2009)

25 COASTAL AND OFF-SHORE FARMS for food seaweed and molluscs

26 Integrated culture of fish, molluscs and seaweeds

27 integration of culture of different trophic levels MOLLUSCS MACROALGAE FINFISH

28 COASTAL AND OFF-SHORE FARMS for food 8 km

29 COASTAL AND OFF-SHORE FARMS for food and energy Energy generation (wind, wave, thermal) - )

30 New technological developments Mussel cultivation Tubes replacing long-lines Mechanization Deployment and harvesting of seaweed Transfer of technology from fishing industry Autoline SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture

31 blue blue sector collaboration to increase innovation Technological development will play a major role in future expansion of the aquaculture industry (FAO) Transfer of knowledge, competence and solutions Operations in the wave zone Biological requirements and constrains Synergies in collaboration Reliability and operability Risk management and design Flexible construction SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture 31

32 Ocean Industries Ocean Science Marine mining Shipping Fisheries SUPER CLUSTER Offshore renewable energy Aquaculture and biological production Oil & gas in deeper water. and in Arctic areas Centre foautonomous Marine Operations and Systems - AMOS 32
