Land-based aquaculture should not be seen as a threat to traditional cage culture but a way to expand capacity where growth is restricted, Anders Milde Gjendemsjo, director of consulting at Deloitte and author of a new study on the costs of land-based salmon production told IntraFish. “There is room in the salmon industry for different farming systems,” he said.
High demand and prices along with flattening global production, biological challenges and increasing production costs since 2005 have all led to a huge interest in post-smolt land-based farming and to land-based tech producer Akva commissioning an independent report into costs from Deloitte.
