Simon Nesse Økland from Bremens Seashore provides a reflective industry perspective on the new aquaculture report. He points out several surprises, such as the abrupt discontinuation of MTB, the phasing out of the traffic light system and that the regulation will mainly deal with sea lice. Økland also highlights positive aspects, such as increased technology neutrality and the possible removal of collective punishment. He warns against measures based on miscalibrated models, and emphasizes the need for a transition period of at least ten years, as investments and planning in aquaculture occur in long cycles, and this is crucial for securing jobs along the coast. Finally, he proposes a separate aquaculture directorate to consolidate government responsibilities.
