North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) Managing Director Jørgen Lund will step down from his role after this year's event, Lund told IntraFish.

Lund -- who is also a shareholder in NASF -- will continue with the company, but will no longer manage the "day-to-day operations," he said.

"I will be turning 70 next year and it is time for me to step aside while another person, hopefully younger, takes over," said Lund.
