In recent years, coastal fishermen in the area have experienced reduced quality and sales of wild fish. One possible reason for this is that wild fish eat feed waste and particles from farming. In addition, it is believed that the fish largely moved from traditional fishing grounds to areas with farming. In this case, this is an under-optimal utilization of wild fish resources, which results in reduced profitability in traditional coastal fishing.
Intermediate storage of live wild fish has long traditions in Norway. The concept has significant potential for increased value creation both in the fleet and for the fishing industry. This is because intermediate storage can provide better resource utilization, optimal raw material quality and better market adaptation.
Fishermen in the Ryfylke fjords raised the issue of increasingly poor meat quality on saithe caught near fish farms. The fishermen had turnover problems and many fish receptions would not accept the fish they delivered.
The Directorate of Fisheries, Region South, therefore took the initiative of a co-operation committee together with fishermen and fish farmers to find out how to solve this problem and other possible conflicts between aquaculture and fisheries.
In connection with this, a pilot project was established by the Directorate of Fisheries, Region South, in 2008. The project was to look more closely at technology and methods for catching and live storage of saithe.
Goal: to utilize the potential of wild stocks of saithe in Ryfylke more optimally by:
• facilitating the safe capture of saithe and other wild fish that are collected in the immediate areas of fish farms.
• to carry out gentle transport and intermediate storage of this wild fish.
• to document increased quality, practical opportunities and value creation potential as a result of the concept.
• to prepare a framework for a major main project.
