Norway's Closed Aquaculture Incentive Scheme Lacks Ambition
The seafood industry association argues that Norway's closed aquaculture incentive scheme "lacks ambition".
"This is a step in the right direction, but the government should have been far more ambitious,"
said Robert H. Eriksson, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Industry Association, Sjømatbedriftene.
The Norwegian government introduced its "environmental flexibility" scheme for the aquaculture industry, allowing producers who invest in closed fish farming technology to reclaim production capacity lost under Norway's "traffic light" permits system.
