Cooke, CEO of Canada-based fish farming firm Cooke Aquaculture, spoke in Olso, Norway, last week at the Glitnir Securities seafood conference. His message: Feed could be the solution to more sustainable salmon.
The debate on what can be characterized as sustainable aquaculture is fascinating, particularly because in Europe they place emphasis on totally different factors than in the United States and Canada.
In Europe, the general opinion is aquaculture is sustainable if the pelagic resources used as raw material in fish feed are sustainable.
