Fifax at an aquaculture seminar in Oslo: Emphasizes biosecurity’s vital role and shares unique global insights

Fifax recently attended the Annual Aquaculture Seminar in Oslo on Thursday, 25 May, joining prominent aquaculture companies from around the world that specialize in both conventional and land-based farming. This marked Fifax’s second invitation to the event.

The seminar offered participants a comprehensive overview of the global aquaculture industry, providing an up-to-date assessment. This year’s event centered on long-term seafood trends, emphasizing current limits of supply, the expanding demand, and the industry’s potential to create a positive environmental influence.

One of Fifax strategic objectives is to start the sales of advisory services related to land-based aquaculture and the commercialization of accumulated know-how during 2023.

During the Fifax presentation, the audience expressed significant interest in the company’s unique global experience and expertise in the practical operation and biosecurity of RAS-aquaculture facilities.

CEO Samppa Ruohtula openly addressed the IHN virus incident of 2022, discussing the subsequent sanitation operation and successful restart of operations. Ruohtula emphasized the significance of proactive preparation for biosecurity risks. The complete presentation delivered by Fifax at the seminar is available on the Investors section of the company’s website, under the title Reports and presentations.

“Land-based aquaculture is an emerging industry, and events like these provide a valuable platform for the sector to exchange experiences and enhance awareness of the inherent risks and viable solutions. The recent sanitation operation conducted by Fifax, aimed at eradicating the virus, marks a significant milestone as the world’s first of its kind in a RAS facility, garnering significant interest from industry peers,” stated Ruohtula.
