Fish n' Bits - The Aquaculture Data Intelligence Podcast

What do the latest earnings tell us about where salmon farming is actually making money?
We're breaking down Q2 results from publicly traded salmon producers around the world, and after several difficult quarters, much of the industry is back to profitability. Learn how biological performance is driving major differences between farming regions, why Canada produced one of the quarter's more surprising results, and what the latest numbers tell us about the economics of land-based salmon. As land-based producers move beyond proving they can grow fish at commercial scale, a new question is taking over: can they consistently grow the right fish, at the right size, at a cost that makes the economics work?

Could a strong El Niño make one of Chilean salmon farming's most persistent disease challenges even harder to manage?
We're taking a closer look at SRS and the potential risks facing Chilean salmon producers as warmer conditions develop ahead of the Southern Hemisphere summer. Learn what makes SRS particularly difficult to prevent and treat, how temperature can influence the spread and severity of the disease, and what happened during previous strong El Niño events. We also explore how better monitoring, new health solutions, and predictive models are giving producers more information to identify changing risks and act earlier.

What does it take to turn a microscope slide into data that AI can actually use?
We're joined by the CEO of Histo Company, Lene Sveen, to explore what happens when fish tissue moves from the farm to the lab and eventually becomes a digital image. Learn what histology can reveal about fish health, why preparing and interpreting tissue samples is more complicated than it looks, and how differences in laboratory methods can create challenges for standardization. We also look at the growing role of digital histology and AI, and why better data and more consistent processes may be just as important as the algorithms built on top of them.

How high could fishmeal and fish oil prices go if Peru faces another major anchovy shortage?

We're taking a closer look at the developing El Niño, Peru's anchovy fishery, and what tightening marine ingredient supplies could mean for aquaculture over the coming quarters. Learn how today's fish oil prices compare with previous El Niño events, why another weak or canceled fishing season in Peru could push the market into new territory, and where additional supply could come from. We also explore alternative ingredients, changing feed formulations, and the difficult tradeoffs producers may face as higher feed costs collide with fish health and performance.

What happens when one of aquaculture's most important regulatory systems doesn't deliver the results it was designed to achieve?
We examine the next chapter of Norway's Traffic Light System and the debate over how sea lice should be managed in the years ahead. Learn why regulators are reconsidering production boundaries, what new proposals could mean for farmers, and how a decade of data has reshaped the conversation around wild salmon, parasite management, and industry growth. It's a closer look at how one of aquaculture's most influential regulatory frameworks continues to evolve, and why the decisions made in Norway could shape salmon farming around the world.
