  1. The impact of aquaculture on the Faroese economy 29th of April 2014 Hilton Reykjavik Nordica

  2. Farmed fish will feed the world Aquaculture has grown at an impressive rate over the past decades. It has helped to produce more food fish, kept the overall price of fish down, and made fish and seafood more accessible to consumers around the world. That’s why greater investment is needed in the industry — for new and safer technologies, their adaptation to local conditions, and their adoption in appropriate settings.
