From salmon farms and wheelhouses all the way to The City and Wall Street -- seafood and the investment community are coming together more than ever.

The IntraFish Seafood Investment Forums have been a catalyst for meetings between investment-ready firms and hedge fund, private equity and institutional investors ready to participate in the sector.

Get ready for our next event: on Nov. 19, executives from Nutreco, Marine Harvest, DNB Markets and American Seafoods, among others, will explore opportunities for investment in global seafood industry at the 2013 IntraFish Seafood Investment Forum in London, presented by IntraFish Media and DNB.

The daylong event, at the May Fair Hotel in London, will examine investment strategies in the global wild-capture and aquaculture sectors and the role of private equity in restructuring the seafood sector.

Dr. Fraser Thompson, Senior Fellow, McKinsey Global Institute, will be the keynote speaker, followed by panels on the outlook for global seafood investment opportunities in the wild and farmed seafood industries.

These panels will explore a range of topics, including:

  • What are the best long term positions in the farmed and wild sectors?
  • What are the best success stories in wild-fish investments?
  • Is there a future IPO market for fisheries companies?
  • What return on investment can aquaculture investors expect
  • What are the best hedges against the risk of aquaculture disease and disaster?

The panels include noted industry experts including Bernt Bodal, CEO, American Seafoods; Arne Mogster, CEO, Austevoll; Olav Holst-Dyrnes, CEO, Havfisk; Viggo Halseth, COO, Nutreco Aquaculture; Henning Beltestad, CEO, Lerøy Seafood Group; and Francisco Murillo, CBDO & CIO, Regal Springs Tilapia Group.

A third panel, led by Edward Han, managing director, Bain Capital Private Equity; Ejnar Knudsen, managing member, AGR Partners; and  Mitchell Presser, founding partner, Paine & Partners, will explore the main drivers in seafood that are compelling for private equity investors, and which companies and species hold the most investment promise.
