• Closed Systems: Why Norway’s Biggest Producers Are Suddenly Investing

  What’s driving Norway’s sudden wave of investment in closed fish farming systems? This week we unpack the real story behind the headlines, from Mowi’s new Fiizk orders to Lerøy and SalMar’s push toward enclosed pens. It all traces back to an October 10th regulatory change that quietly created the biggest financial incentive yet for producers operating in red zones. Tony breaks down how this new rule works, why companies are moving fast to adapt, and whether it marks the beginning of a larger shift toward closed and semi-closed farming systems across Norway or even the world.For more aquaculture insights, head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.

• Scotland’s Salmon Survival Debate: What the Data Actually Shows

  What can one number really tell us about an entire industry? This week, we unpack the Scottish Fish Farm Production Survey 2024, a report that’s sparked headlines and controversy with its 61.8% survival figure, the lowest in more than three decades. But beyond the shock value, the data reveals something deeper: the long-term cycles of progress, constraint, and adaptation that define Scottish salmon farming. We’ll explore what the numbers actually mean, why short-term data can distort reality, and how progress in sustainability often comes with biological trade-offs. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.

• Genomics: How DNA Sequencing Will Transform Fish Health

  What if the next major leap in aquaculture doesn’t come from the ocean but from the genome? In this week’s episode, we trace the story of genomic sequencing: from Darwin’s first evolutionary trees to the breakthroughs that now let scientists map entire fish genomes in a single day. You’ll learn how falling sequencing costs are opening the door to disease tracing, genetic selection, and smarter breeding programs that could redefine sustainability across aquaculture. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.

• New Zealand’s $3B Aquaculture Goal

  Can New Zealand turn its bold aquaculture growth plan into a $3 billion industry by 2035? In this episode, we dig into the numbers behind the country’s strategy, from premium salmon and mussel exports to the risks of offshore expansion, and look at the political and regulatory roadblocks that could derail momentum. Drawing lessons from Norway, Canada, and Iceland, we explore what it takes for a nation to scale aquaculture without repeating the same missteps. For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.
