Cage talk – open cage challenges solved! Sharing best practices – generating value for all.
At NASF we strongly believe in sharing. One of our core
values is to create a meeting place that celebrates sharing valuable experiences and meaningful information –
to the benefit of all of our delegates.
At NASF 2025 we want to celebrate the successful open-cage salmon farmers
There are many great initiatives in the industry to replace open cages. However, the majority of salmon produced in the next 5-10 years
will most probably come from an open cage facility.
We all know that open-cage salmon farmers are exposed to challenges related to a wide array of issues like fish welfare, growth, sea lice, water temperature changes, oxygen levels, predators, and many more. However, many salmon producers manage these challenges, and despite obstacles they have found solutions. We want to bring these kinds of solutions and initiatives to the surface and give our delegates insight into how many of these challenges are possible to overcome with effective solutions.
Cage talk – a new session on Technology Tuesday – March 4th
With this as a background, we have initiated a new session on “Technology Tuesday” under the name “Cage Talk” NASF has invited
leading salmon farmers and their experts to elaborate on how challenges have been overcome. Join our inaugural Cage Talk session on Tuesday March 4th and gain insight into how technology, best practices, and genius solutions have led to overcoming many of the threatening challenges facing open cage farming.
Among the topics we can mention:
- Postsmolt and Smart Farming for improved survival, welfare and productivity (Mowi)
- How Lerøy is using digital tools to overcome real-world challenges (Lerøy)
- Exposed Open-cage Farming in the Faroe Islands (Bakkafrost)
Two more topics to be added shortly (Cermaq and Salmar)
All details are to be found on the Cage Talk program page. Hope to see you there!
