Lachs: Mehr als nur eine Proteinquelle? Beim Blick auf das norwegische Lachszuchtunternehmen Mowi ASA wird schnell klar, dass hinter dem Lachs, den wir oftmals nur schick verpackt aus dem Supermarkt kennen, ein Milliardengeschäft steckt. Denn Norwegen hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt bis 2050 zur führenden Seafood-Nation der Welt aufzusteigen und da dürfen starke Unternehmen wie Mowi ASA natürlich nicht fehlen. In 26 Ländern beschäftigt der Konzern über 11.000 Mitarbeiter und produziert jährlich gut 460.000 Tonnen Lachs. Mowi, ehemals auch bekannt als Marine Harvest, setzt als größter Atlantiklachs-Produzent der Welt mit Sitz in Bergen auf das Prinzip der Integrated Value Chain und baut damit immer weiter seine Marktmacht aus. Warum die Lachszucht so ein schwieriges Unterfangen ist, wie das Unternehmen in die Zukunft investiert und viele weitere wissenswerte Insights zu Mowi ASA erfahren Sie in dieser Folge von „Aktien mit Potenzial“ - diesmal zu Gast: Timon Sitte.  Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Spaß beim Zuhören und freuen uns sehr über Ihr Feedback!

Alex and Hereditary Chief George Quocksister Jr. used GoPro cameras and divers to record what was happening underneath the fish farms. When the footage was shown to First Nations communities, there was shock and sadness, then anger. Fish with holes in their bodies, chunks missing from their faces, barely moving and close to death. A group of young First Nations people felt the pull to defend the wild salmon and they occupied one fish farm, then two, then three. They stayed 270 days before Marine Harvest got an injunction to force them to leave.We are crowdfunding to cover the cost of this podcast.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - I decided to finish this hour off by redoining the story of a visit I took to a fish farm, four years ago. Some people will call this program one sided, which is what happens when you interview the people on one side of an argument. Prior to this, I interviewed Alexandra Morton on three occasions, and also reviewed her movie “Salmon Confidential Documentary.” On August 23, 2016, Morton joined members of the Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw nation to board Marine Harvest's Midsummer farm in Kingcome Inlet, BC. The video embedded on Cortes currents shows what Morton found after lowered a Go Pro camera into the pens for ten minutes. “I was stunned. I saw a fish go by with a big tumour on its' head. This is one fish out of 800,000 in this pen. How many of the others have this? … Are they going to sell that fish for people to eat, or is that dogfood? I would worry about that,” she said. When I asked Marine Harvest about the incident, they invited me to visit their fish farm in Phillips Arms. This is one of the Discovery Island locations now scheduled to be phased out by 2022. In the audio above I describe the visit and how it relates to what I saw in Morton's video.

The world’s largest salmon farming company is being investigated amid claims that it has misreported the volume of chemicals used to ward off disease. Mowi, formerly known as Marine Harvest, is one of a number of companies which are being scrutinised by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Farmed salmon are treated with chemicals to prevent disease and infestations of sea lice, but there are limits on the volumes of chemicals that can be used. Instagram: @cfr_news

Museum - et program om norsk historie

Ytterst i Trondheimsfjorden, et kvarters tid med RIB i 40 knop fra hurtigbåtbrygga ved Sandstad på Hitra, ligger oppdrettsanlegget Lerøy Ringholmen 12784. - Vi driver formidling direkte ute på anleggene. Det er noe helt annet enn å vise rundt i en utstilling på land, sier avdelingsleder for havbruk, Jørgen Fjeldvær, ved Kystmuseet i Sør-Trøndelag. I Hitra-Frøya regionen finnes tre av de aller største entreprenørene i oppdrettsnæringen, Lerøy, Marine Harvest og Salmar. Til sammen 250 tusen tonn ferdig produsert laks blir eksportert på de svingete og kronglete veiene, med gjennomsnittlig 70 vogntog i døgnet året rundt. Kystmuseet på Hitra har en av de 20 visningskonsesjonene Fiskeridepartementet har tildelt kysten rundt og er det eneste museet som bruker dette i formidlingen. Det er Lerøy Midt som er operatør, men museet som står for formidlingen. - Det var ikke uproblematisk å gå i et så nært kompaniskap med en næringsutøver, men vi har full kontroll på hvordan vi formidler. Vi er ingen PR-avdeling, men bestemmer selv hva vi vil legge vekt på. Vi satser på balanse, akkurat som den norrøne havguden Ægir, sier Jørgen Fjeldvær. Sendt første gang lørdag 19/1 2017.

In January 2011 the Scottish Government announced a new deal to supply salmon to China. If only 1% of its population chose to eat it the Scottish industry would have to double in size. The target set is to increase the industry by 50% by 2020. Conor Woodman asks how this can be done without impacting on the environment. Concerns about salmon farming include the spread of sea lice, escapes, pollution of the sea bed and the impact of sea lice treatment on other sea life. However it provides jobs, both directly and indirectly in areas often with fragile economies. Conor visits the island of Gometra in the Inner Hebrides where a new fish farm is being proposed. The island has no electricity and only a few residents but is classed as 'very sensitive countryside'. It's one of five new fish farm sites applied for in the last 6 months. While the residents there oppose it, many of those on neighbouring Ulva hope the jobs will attract more young people to the area. Conor speaks to the Scottish Association for Marine Science about how the industry is dealing with the environmental issues. He also hears about the new direction some of the industry is taking - Marine Harvest is moving out of traditional lochs to open sea locations which it hopes will lead to larger farms being permitted. He also speaks to a British company looking to introduce 'closed containment' systems by farming tanks of fish on land. Is this the new image of salmon farming in the UK and will these methods face issues of their own? Producer: Anne-Marie Bullock.

Farming in the City XIII (Backyard Chickens X) In November 2009, a panel discussion on urban agriculture was hosted by Backyard Bounty and the University of Guelph. The event was called Opportunities for Action: An Urban Agriculture Symposium and Deconstructing Dinner partner station CFRU recorded the panel. This episode hears from two of the panelists who both share innovative urban agriculture projects: the Carrot City exhibition - a collection of conceptual and realized ideas for sustainable urban food production, and the Diggable Communities Collaborative - a community garden initiative that demonstrates the importance of partnerships and the ways in which regional health authorities and local governments can support and implement local food system and urban agriculture planning. Rounding off the show - regular contributor Bucky Buckaw and his Backyard Chicken Broadcast. Bucky dispels the myth that backyard chickens attract rats and he shares insights on raising roosters - an often prohibited presence even within municipalities that do allow backyard chickens. Updates on 'Norway, British Columbia' & 'A Dinner Date With the Olympics' Much has transpired since our previous episodes of our Norway, British Columbia series on BC salmon farms. Updates include news of the transfer of regulatory power between the Province and the federal government; criminal charges filed against Marine Harvest and upcoming rallies/events in Vancouver. Also updates on the Coca-Cola torch relay which passed through Deconstructing Dinner's hometown of Nelson, BC shortly after our January Olympic broadcast. Guests/Voices Mark Gorgolewski co-curator, Carrot City (Toronto, ON) - Mark is a Professor and Program Director for the graduate program in building science in the Department of Architectural Science at Toronto's Ryerson University. He is a Director of the Canada Green Building Council and has worked for many years as an educator, architect, researcher and environmental consultant to the construction industry in Canada and Europe. Recently he was co-curator of the exhibition Carrot City � Design for Urban Agriculture. He has also coordinated one of the winning teams in the CMHC Equilibrium Housing Competition to design a sustainable, net zero energy housing development, and is co-recipient of the 2007-2008 ACSA/AIA Housing Design Education Award. Katherine Pigott manager, healthy communities & policy team, Region of Waterloo Public Health (Kitchener, ON) - Katherine has worked at Region of Waterloo Public Health since March 2000. A key part of her role has been the development of a comprehensive local food systems planning approach in Waterloo Region as Manager of the Healthy Communities and Policy Team. Katherine has over twenty years experience in community based program development, planning, and systems change that has spanned economic development, health promotion and environmental planning. She serves of the Board of Directors of the Association of Health Centres of Ontario and on the Steering Committee of Food Secure Canada. Bucky Buckaw - host, Bucky Buckaw's Backyard Chicken Broadcast (New York, NY) - Bucky Buckaw gives advice on raising backyard chickens as just one example of how a locally based economy can work. Through this segment, he informs listeners about the downside of factory farming and what kinds of toxic chemicals you can expect to find in the resultant livestock. He promotes organic gardening and composting, and supporting local farmers. Alexandra Morton - scientist/researcher, Raincoast Research Society (Echo Bay, BC) - While studying orca whales up until the 1990s, Alexandra watched as the salmon farming industry appeared in the Broughton Archipelago where she calls home. As she observed the arrival of industrial salmon farms, the whales she studied disappeared. She believed the cause was salmon farms, and when 10,000 pages of letters to all levels of government failed to elicit meaningful response, Alexandra realized that she would have to scientifically prove that salmon farming had driven out the whales and caused epidemic outbreaks of bacteria, viral and parasitic infections in wild salmon. By partnering with international scientists and in some cases commercial fishermen, Alexandra has documented the loss of the whales, thousands of escaped farm salmon, lethal outbreaks of sea lice, and antibiotic resistance near salmon farms.

In October 2008, host Jon Steinman spoke with wildlife biologist Alexandra Morton who was in the midst of taking the Province of British Columbia and Marine Harvest Canada to B.C. Supreme Court. Morton was challenging the ongoing regulation of the industry by the Province, arguing that the Province is not constitutionally permitted to do so. Instead, it was argued that the Federal government is responsible for regulating salmon farms. Justice Christopher Hinkson came to his decision on February 9, 2009. Morton was victorious. Deconstructing Dinner invites Morton back onto the show to share the outcomes of that decision and what has transpired since then. Also lending their thoughts to the B.C. Supreme Court decision is Otto Langer - a former federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) biologist who applauds the decision but remains highly skeptical of the DFO's capability to now manage the farmed salmon fishery. The episode also examines a perplexing letter sent to Deconstructing Dinner not long after our January 2009 episodes. As part of those January episodes, Deconstructing Dinner shared recordings from our October 2008 tour of a salmon farm site and hatchery owned by Marine Harvest - the largest salmon farming company in the world. It appears the company was not happy with those broadcasts and subsequently sent a letter to us outlining a number of rather odd requests. Guests/Voices Otto Langer - former Biologist, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) (Richmond, BC) - Otto is a 32-year veteran of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada who quit his job in 2001 after becoming unhappy with the direction the department was heading. He then became the Director of the Marine Conservation Program for the David Suzuki Foundation and one of DFO's most outspoken critics. Otto is now retired. He is considered one of Canada's leading authorities on the issue of open net cage salmon farming. Otto also authored a chapter in the book, "Stain Upon the Sea: The Battle for the West Coast Salmon Fishery" (2001). Alexandra Morton - Scientist/Researcher, Raincoast Research Society (Echo Bay, BC) - While studying orca whales up until the 1990s, Alexandra watched as the salmon farming industry appeared in the Broughton Archipelago where she calls home.

The BC salmon aquaculture industry has been one of the most criticized in the province. Nevertheless , the industry continues to expand and both the provincial and federal government continue to promote it.

Key topics to discuss - The recent "Framework for Dialogue" that has been initiated between CAAR and Marine Harvest Canada - one of the three major players in the industry. A recent report was also released accusing the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans of using an ineffective system to measure the health effects of sea-lice on juvenile wild salmon. Guests Alexandra Morton - Raincoast Research. Co-author of Stain Upon the Sea - West Coast Salmon Farming. Originally from Conneticut, Alexandra moved to BC in 1980. After the arrival of salmon farms around her home in the Broughton Archipelago, her research focus shifted in the early 90s from killer whales to salmon.

Clare Backman - Spokesperson, Marine Harvest Canada. Marine Harvest is the largest producer of farmed salmon in the world. The company is headquartered in both Norway and the Netherlands - a result from the recent merger between Stolt Sea Farms and Nutreco Holdings. The company has operations in 8 different countries around the world and their products can be found in over 70 countries.
