MemU
The Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland is dedicated to education, training, applied research and industrial support of fisheries and maritime sectors. The Institute currently has three schools: the School of Fisheries, the School of Maritime Studies and the School of Ocean Technology. Within these Schools are specialized Centres which provide training and research and development support to industrial clients. The School of Fisheries houses the Centre for Aquaculture and Seafood Development (CASD) and the Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Resources (CSAR) and the Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER). The mandate of CASD and CSAR is to promote the economic development of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors through industrially relevant and applied research, whereas CFER’s mandate is to better understand fish stocks and marine ecosystem productivity through fisheries research.
The School of Fisheries has completed more than 2000 projects locally, nationally, and internationally in support of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Fisheries-based projects have been diverse and have included research on emerging fisheries, sustainable fisheries, gear technology, fisheries-based training, post-harvest processing, marine bioprocessing, education and training and community development. Projects have ranged from small-client centered research to large-scale, multi-year strategic initiatives. Collectively, these projects demonstrate extensive experience, a broad understanding of fisheries issues and insight into the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.
Overall the School employs more than 80 full time scientists, faculty research and technical personnel engaged in education, training and research and it manages 10 academic programs at the diploma, degree and masters level. In the most recent fiscal year the school led approximately 100 applied research initiatives with industry and government agencies at a total research value of approximately $7.4 million CAN. It was also responsible for the delivery of industrial training programs to more than 1000 industry participants. The Canadian Centre for Fisheries Innovation is a not-for-profit corporation owned by Memorial University with a mandate to facilitate access by the aquaculture, harvesting, and processing sectors to the capabilities provided by the people and facilities of the University and other academic institutions. CCFI works with industry to understand its opportunities and needs, creates projects around them that draw on institutional capabilities, and provides assistance with financing and management of the projects. In doing so, CCFI also works closely with the Marine Institute and other organizations in doing both short-term problem-solving assignments and longer-term commercially-focused research and development.

The Norwegian College of Fisheries Science (NFH), which is an institute at the Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics at the University of Tromsø, Norway, is responsible for development of scientific knowledge within all areas of marine research in Norway. NFH has systematically developed competence, facilities and equipment related to marine and fishery biology, including population structure and dynamics. During the last 30 years NFH also has developed knowledge in bio-economic modelling during the more recent year knowledge about ecosystem services and their valuation. Teaching and research is primarily focused on the fields of biological oceanography, fisheries biology, assessment, resource management and marine governance and aquaculture. The faculty hosts competence in multidisciplinary studies and in implementing results.
Relevant projects Researchers affiliated to the Norwegian College of Fisheries Science have taken part in several research projects, both at national, EU and other international level. Especially relevant experiences for PrimeFish is the participation in the EU financed projects MEFEPO (Making European Ecosystem Fisheries Plans Operationable), which describes in detail selected European fisheries in terms of biological and societal/economic characteristics. In turn this is used as input in the discussion of how the fisheries may meet requirements for European fisheries activities as stated in the CFP (Common Fisheries Policy) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). In the projects CoralFish, financed by the EU, and CoralValue, financed by the Norwegian research Council the main tasks concern assessment of deep sea resources (corals) and their importance for commercial fish stocks. The latter encompass a valuation survey of the willingness to pay for protecting cold water corals, although this may hamper fisheries activities. In the project RecreationValue, financed by the Norwegian research Council, private (non-market) recreational services in the coastal zone, which may conflict with marine industrial activities, are assessed and valued.

Kontali Analyse AS
Kontali Analyse AS is a private, independent research company specializing in sector analysis within the global aquaculture and fisheries industry. Kontali Analyse was founded in 1993, and has since then developed to become one of the world’s leading providers of statistics and analysis for the seafood sector. The core area of expertise has always been within the salmon segment, but for the past 10 years, several new areas have been incorporated in the coverage of Kontali Analyse. Regular surveillance of the pelagic sector, including the fishmeal/-oil sector is in place. And lately the focus has been expanded into the whitefish fisheries (groundfish) sector, including also a strengthening of the data- and analysis capacity on seabass/seabream, and other whitefish species in aquaculture, i.e. the larger commercial clusters in Asia and Latin America.
The work of Kontali Analyse is founded on professional expertise and comprehensive information storage and retrieval systems, which form the basis for their databases. The management of this data involves regular contact with more than 150 sources, in more than 40 countries. The harmonization of product codes and categories, and the application of weight conversion factors for processed products is an important task in updating and amending databases for an easy extraction of information. In addition, strong ties to key industry leaders and important seafood companies have been established, both through the wide range of subscriptions and the associated consultations between Kontali Analyse employees and the readers on covered topics. Through numerous projects, speeches, and workshops, where Kontali Analyse has been engaged to provide information and analysis beyond the scope of ordinary reports, sector expertise is gained and maintained.
Kontali has and are, taking part in several projects of relevance for the current project such as European Market Observatory for fisheries and aquaculture products” (EUMOFA), Global Study – Pelagic Fish availability, (Pelagic Fish Forum), An Industry Handbook – Groundfish (Aker Seafoods; the largest Norwegian whitefish company), The potential for enhanced value creation in the Norwegian salmon industry (Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs) and An investigation of the cost structure and international competitiveness of the salmon growing industry in Scotland (Scottish Executive, KPMG).
In addition to the competence carried into the partnership a major contribution from Kontali and benefit to the project is the systematically collected panel/sector data regarding production/catch, market (price and volume) and productivity (cost structure data) since long for salmon and large trout (1992). For the other main species followed (cod, herring and bass and bream) similar information has been collected since early/mid 2000. In addition, Kontali has established advanced market and production models for the global salmon sector as well as production models for the Mediterranean sea bass and sea bream sector.
