Transferring technology between different sectors of the aquaculture industry is easier said than done, and some of the world’s top sector executives have a mixed view on how, and when, to do it.
For Odd Magne Rodseth, director of EW Group (owner of AquaGen and GenoMar Genetics) it is a source of disappointment that sectors have to constantly “reinvent the wheel” when there are fundamental biosecurity structures that could be transferred between them.
Taking part in a panel chaired by IntraFish’s Drew Cherry, Cargill Aqua Nutrition's Einar Wathne agreed, but argued it is a mistake for tech companies to think they can take their products into markets that need another 15 years to develop.
