Overview of Global Farmed Salmon and Organic Production
The data showcases the production figures for global farmed salmon across various countries, with Norway leading the production, followed by Chile, Scotland, and others. Additionally, insights into the growing organic salmon production, vulnerabilities in the sector, and details on organic mussels production and vulnerabilities are provided. The organic salmon sector faces challenges such as limited organic stock sources and feed vulnerabilities, while the organic mussel sector emphasizes the importance of water quality in maintaining ecological standards.

Global Farmed Salmon Production COUNTRY PRODUCTION IN TONNES Norway 1.2 million Chile 800K Scotland 180K North America 162K Faroe Islands 80K Australia 61K Ireland 12-15K Iceland 12K Other 12K
Organic Salmon Production Growing production of organic salmon in other countries Resulted in oversupply and reduction in prices Norway likely to remain conventional but Scotland and smaller producing nations will see it as more attractive COUNTRY ORGANIC PRODUCTION IN TONNES/YEAR (approx.) Ireland 12,000 -15,000 Scotland 20,000 Iceland 25,000 (for 2022) Norway 20,000 -30,000
Organic Salmon Certified Sites 2021 12 Smolt Units & 1 BroodstockUnit 28 Seawater Production Units 3 Primary Processing Units
Vulnerabilities in Organic Salmon Sector Organic Stock Only 2 sources of organic ova available to Irish organic smolt units 1 in Ireland, 1 in Norway Organic Feed Vulnerable position as all salmon feed is imported and there is no direct control over supply. Trace contamination of organic salmon feed with non-permitted substances continues to be an issue Competition Norway, Scotland and Iceland now producing organic salmon 14% reduction in value of first sales in 2021 ( 109m down from 127m
Organic Mussels 70% of rope mussel production is organically certified Equates to around 8,200 Tonnes Not all sold as organic as the market for organic shellfish remains relatively small but increasing
Vulnerabilities in Organic Mussel Sector Water quality be of high ecological status under the Directive 2000/60/EC Water Framework Directive (WFD) or be of good environmental status under the Directive 2008/56/EC Marine strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) or be of equivalent quality to zone A of Regulation (EU (2019/627)

2022 Plans Develop guidance document for new organic standard Liaise with EPA and Irish Water regarding water quality Online seminars for sector to develop producer knowledge of the new standard Further develop the online toolkit to provide guidance to organic aquaculture farmers https://bim.ie/aquaculture/advisory-services/fish-welfare-workshop/
