Supply of White Fish is falling
The value of the raw material is increasing as is the profitability of better utilization of the volumes available.This can happen both offshore and onshore.
In this session, we will focus on advances in fishing techniques, sorting and processing of white fish raw material.
Speakers
Ship Design and White Fish Quality
A ship designer plays a crucial role in ensuring effective integration of diverse suppliers, such as fishing equipment manufacturers, onboard processing factories, and other systems. Beyond integration, the designer must prioritize sea-keeping capabilities and designs that support efficient logistics and the optimal handling and preservation of white fish quality. By embracing the principle of "freedom to create," Skipsteknisk collaborate closely with stakeholders to develop innovative and tailored solutions. This approach streamlines workflows, enhances storage and transport systems, and maintains the freshness and value of the raw material. The result is vessels designed for maximum productivity, sustainability, and operational excellence in the demanding fisheries sector.

Advancing Data Capture for the Fishing Fleet
This presentation will delve into Optimar's close collaboration with the Directorate of Fisheries on the development of advanced data capture technologies for the fishing fleet. As part of the CatchID program, Marius Sorthe will highlight innovative solutions, including the vision grader, designed to ensure accurate registration of catches onboard. These technologies aim to bring data registration closer to the point of capture, whether in the gear, during boarding, or in onboard production.

Improved catch precision and efficiency with selective fishing gears
By-catch is one of the main problems in fisheries. Catching juvenile fish or non-target species challenges sustainability and can have a negative impact on catch prices. The harvest of large proportions of juvenile fish can also have a negative impact on stock development and future quota advice. This presentation shows some of the most recent research and development on selectivity in demersal trawls and Danish seine in Norway. It includes new technological developments, how these affect species and size distribution in the catch and how to ensure survival of escaping fish.
