Taoiseach’sStrong Backingof New MarinePlan Seen asMajor StepForward forIreland’sMaritime Sector
Subtitled ‘a roadmap forintegrated actions’ the planexpects to see Ireland, for thefirst time, evolve ‘a system ofpolicy and programmeplanning’ for its maritimeaffairs.
Despite such optimism, theplan cautions thatachievements will have to takeplace ‘within the over-ridingmedium term fiscalframework and budgetarytargets adopted by theGovernment’.
The plan sets out an ambitioustwin target to increase theturnover from Ireland’s oceaneconomy to more than €6.4bnby 2020, and to double thevalue of its ocean wealth to2.4% of GDP by 2030.
It states: ‘Our ocean is anational asset, supporting adiverse marine economy withvast potential to tap into a€1,000bn global marinemarket for seafood, tourism, oiland gas, marine renewableenergy, and new applicationsfor health, medicine andtechnology. In 2007 Irelandgenerated 1.2% of GDP(€2.4bn) from its oceaneconomy. While the EUCommission estimates that in2007 between 3% and 5% ofEurope’s GDP was generatedfrom sea-related industries andservices‘.
For the period 2012-2014fifteen actions are identified forimplementation. Among theseis a call for the development ofan enterprise strategy aimed at
generating momentum inpotentially lucrative sectorssuch as offshore renewables,offshore services, and marineand coastal planning.
This will focus on addressingdeficiencies in the current andlicensing system as well asdeveloping an appropriateMaritime Spatial PlanningFramework for Ireland’, itsuggests.
GOALSThe plan also identifies threehigh-level goals - based on theconcept of sustainabledevelopment - as being ofequal importance:
Goal 1 focuses on a thrivingmaritime economy wherebyIreland harnesses the market
opportunities to achieveeconomic recovery and socially-inclusive sustainable growth.
Goal 2 sets out to achievehealthy ecosystems that providemonetary and non-monetarygoods and services such as food,climate, health and well-being.
Goal 3 aims to increase ourengagement with the sea tostrengthen our maritimeidentity and increase ourawareness of the value,opportunities and socialbenefits of engaging with thesea.
IMAGINATIVE AND
WORKABLEIntroducing the plan on July31st last at the Marine Institute

“HARNESSING OUR OCEAN WEALTH”, the government’s much-anticipated Integrated Marine Plan has been unveiled by An TaoiseachEnda Kenny who says that no effort will bespared implementing it.

Taoiseach Enda Kennydescribed it as animaginative and workablemarine strategy which hisgovernment would waste notime in implementing.
“I came here today to sendthe strongest signal that mygovernment is backing thisplan. I hope also that mypresence here will be seen asa political statement aboutwhere I stand with regard tothe marine sector. I firmlybelieve in this plan and thatit will bring huge economicbenefits to the generationscoming after us”, theTaoiseach declared.
He added: “With such animpressive roadmap nowbefore us there is no time toloose. I’m not going to listento those who will say that itcannot be implemented, orthat bureaucracy and redtape will strangle it. Thebusiness of government is todeal with all of that byopening the doors ofopportunity”.
Taking the long term view theTaoiseach said he wasconfident that the planwould be seen by futuregenerations as the platformfrom which Ireland launchedher first integrated marinestrategy.
“I’d like to think that perhapsin twenty years the peopleon this island who arederiving economic benefitfrom the judicious use of theseas will look back and saythis plan is what initiatedIreland’s focus on marineactivities.”
He added: “I don’t want thisplan to sit on a shelfgathering dust - and believeyou me, it wont. We’vealready seen the pages of toomany past reports becomingglued together throughinactivity. This new marinestrategy is far too importantfor our country, our economyand the next generation tolet that happen.”
BUREAUCRATIC
BOTTLENECKSAlso throwing his weightbehind ‘Harnessing Our OceanWealth’, Minister for AgricultureFood and the Marine SimonCoveney compared it to thehighly successful Food Harvest2020 strategy which waslaunched for the Agri-foodsector last year.
“When Food Harvest 2020 waslaunched, nobody noticed. Nowhowever, people areannouncing new initiatives inthe food sector, and referringback to the business plan thatwas put in place. People beganto realise that this was a realworking business plan - a keyroad map for the sector. Ipredict that Harvesting OurOcean Wealth will do the samefor the marine sector, exceptthat it will be even bigger. Thisstrategy is about realizing thepotential of our marine,Ireland’s largest naturalresource - by a country mile,”he declared.
Acknowledging “theconsiderable frustrations” thathad built up in certain sectorsof the marine industry in thepast decade Minister Coveneypredicted that the new strategywould go a long way towardsclearing some of the legalbottlenecks which had stymieddevelopment and expansion incertain sectors in the past –aquaculture in particular.
“Task Forces of talentedindividuals, driven people,passionate about the potentialof the marine, including civilservants, academics and policy-makers – all with a wide rangeof complimentary skills – willbe in place to drive this newstrategy forward. They will bepeople who want to see thingshappen, and I have no doubtthey will be pushing me andthe rest of the Marine Co-ordination Group for results,and I welcome that,” heconcluded.

Harvest 2020 – Just How Will We Do It?
How do we reach the targets set out in the Government’splan for aquaculture in Harvest 2020? Where will the 78%in increased aquaculture production targeted in the plancome from? At a very basic level, how will we satisfy thequeue of customers who want to buy the seafood that weare currently not allowed to produce? Where are the jobsgoing to come from? How will the processing sector avail ofraw material that it cannot get from wild capture fisheries?How do we prevent even more imported fish of dubiousorigin taking over our markets and depleting the reputationof the entire category?
In short, do we want the seafood industry at home or oncontinental Europe to be reliant on safe, high qualityorganic European and Irish farmed shellfish and finfish ordo we want the next generation to be forced to buy fromthe white van men only over-priced frozen Pangasius fromthe Mekong Delta dressed up as “Atlantic Cod”, or rubberyfrozen Pacific Salmon not fit for cat food?
At a wider level, how do we stem emigration from coastalareas and bring back investment and economic activitybased on exports of tangible goods from remote areaswhich are in obvious demand worldwide?
Do we do it by stopping companies from improving theirfarms, developing their production, putting best practiceinto place? Do we do it by denying them capital grant aidwhich has been sanctioned at EU level? Do we do it byendlessly passing the buck from one Department toanother as to who is to blame for the insane mess in whichthe Government has landed the industry?
Unfortunately that appears to be the case.
When you see our Scottish counterparts complaining thatit takes 22 months from start to finish to achieve the
granting of a 2,400 tonne salmon farm licenceand put that beside the 80-90 month wait someof IFA’s members have had to endure to evenbegin the process of public consultation, it putsthings into stark perspective. When you seeNorwegian producers being granted licencedareas, in which they have the flexibility to re-configure cages or mussel lines, remove outdatedequipment and bring in new, modernenvironmentally-sustainable gear, to be able tofallow and separate generations as per bestpractice - and all this on licences granted inperpetuity (!) - the broken Irish system is exposedeven further.
The government is sincere about its targets inHarvest 2020 but it has not grasped the nettle inputting a system in place that can deliver its ownobjectives which would be good for the country,the economy and our reputation worldwide.
The main complaints industry has about the system are thelack of knowledge of modern aquaculture – both from atechnical, fish health and marketing point of view. There isno real understanding of what the industry needs tosucceed. Then, there is the fear factor. There is a fear ofobjectors (not shared by industry – we can deal with anyobjections) There is, more importantly, a sense that there isa fear of making a decision at all. This is buttressed by thefact that, unlike the planning system onshore, there are noclear statutory timelines for each step in an overly complexapplication system.
By now I’m getting weary of hearing the same old excuses.The system needs a complete and radical overhaul to focusit on business and market goals. If the Government doesn’tsee this plain fact, then Harvest 2020 can take its place inthe aisle of the library marked “Fairytales”.

Is the Tide Beginning to Turn in the Industry’s Favour?
The basis for this verycautious optimism liesprincipally in the market-place. This is as it should be,as a positive demand trend isthe most fundamental driverfor expansion in any sector.In aquaculture we arefortunate in having this trendin spades. The everincreasing world population,coupled with the seeminglyinsatiable desire for seafoodwhich is burgeoning in theAsia Pacific region, are twomega-trends which willunderpin strong growth and
seafood demand from Irishsources for at least the nexttwo decades.
MARKET
OPPORTUNITIESWhilst these factors mayseem rather remote from thepoint of view of an oyster orsalmon farmer tending totheir stock around Ireland’scoasts, they are having veryreal and present effects onthe market prices being paidfor their products. In thecase of salmon, the demand
for organic certified productcontinues to far outstripdemand, and as a result,prices in this niche haveremained stable despite thewide fluctuations in theconventional commoditysalmon market. Oysters tooare enjoying anunprecedented period ofhigh prices. Continuingproduction difficulties inFrance, coupled withincreasing demand for thevery best of Irish oysters inhigh-value far easternmarkets, mean that Irishoyster farmers are gettingvery attractive returns fortheir stock.
Welcome as they are, theseopportunities also carrythreats within them. Itwould be a very great shamefor Ireland, if havingdeveloped the organicsalmon niche, we were then
to lose it to competitorcountries because of ourinability to expand productionto meet the demand. In suchcircumstances, others willexploit the opportunity wehave created, and Ireland willlose out on the opportunity tocreate jobs in vulnerablecoastal communities currentlybeing ravaged by emigrationand to boost exports.Similarly, others are jealouslyeyeing up Ireland’s naturalresources for the productionof oysters. We are seeing anunprecedented level ofinterest in the acquisition ofoyster farming licenses fromabroad. We must be carefulthat this trend does notbecome a flood whereby thegreatest benefit arising fromthe sector is lost to Irelandand is instead exportedabroad in the form of half-grown or undifferentiatedshellfish ‘on the hoof’.
Donal Maguire, BIM
Although the aquaculture industry in Irelandcontinues to be beset by delays and difficultiesin the implementation of its licensingarrangements, there are, at last, tangible signsthat slowly but surely, the tide is turning infavour of much needed industry developmentand expansion.
Aquaculture & Seafood Ireland 9
POSIYIVE STEPSThe key to grasping theseopportunities, holding on tothem and maximising theirpotential benefit to Ireland,lies in having an effectiveand commercially-sensitivelicensing and regulatoryregime. Steps are beingtaken by DAFM, with thebacking and encouragementof the Minister, and thewhole hearted support of theagencies, to try to achievethis outcome. The processhas been slow but it is hopedthat it will accelerate as thefirst successes pave the wayfor future development.There have been some strongpositive results. For example,DG Environment has recentlyindicated that they areabandoning the pilot caseagainst Ireland with regard tothe control of sea lice on Irishsalmon farms. This is amajor development, and theMarine Institute andDepartmental officialsconcerned with fighting thiscase, should becongratulated for theirefforts. Also, AppropriateAssessments, in compliancewith the Birds and HabitatsDirective, have been carriedout in two aquaculture-richbays, and the process is nowwell advanced in a third.
These successes, albeitlimited, bode well for thefuture of the sector. It shouldalso be borne in mind thatthe guiding policy for foodproduction in Ireland - FoodHarvest 2020 - has set veryambitious targets for thedevelopment and expansionof the sector here. Whilstthese targets will not achievethemselves, they do set apowerful and enabling back-drop to the industry’s effortsto increase their output. Infact, it has been predictedthat the major uplift inemployment in the foodsector will come fromincreases in aquacultureoutput as the projectedincreases in dairy and beefare unlikely to result in
greater numbers of peopleemployed, because of surpluscapacity in the systemalready.
ENVIRONMENTALLY
SUSTAINABLEIt is not a case ofdevelopment at the expenseof the environment. Moreand more evidence is comingto the fore to show that ourindustry, when well operatedand appropriately regulated,is environmentally benignand wholly sustainable whenevaluated objectively. Forexample, recently publishedscience from the MarineInstitute clearly lays to restthe old myths about sea lice,from any source, beingresponsible for declines inthe marine survival of wildsalmon. It is vital that thisstory is told and that Irishcitizens are reassured andinformed about the reality ofthe very low levels of impactthat the sector has on itsreceiving environment. Thetask of getting thesemessages across is animportant and challengingone, which will have to beshared by both industry andgovernment.
It is clear to any objectiveobserver that mindsets areshifting in Ireland today. Theurgent necessity to createemployment, and increaseexports, is creating a risingtide which will lift the boatsof the Irish seafood sector ingeneral, and the aquacultureindustry in particular. Thenational imperative to createemployment, and the needto sustain an export-ledrecovery for the economy,coupled with the positivemarket trends for ourproducts, combine to createa very positive and powerfulsource of encouragement forall concerned in the sector.We have the horsepower,what is needed now is for allthe parts of the drive train tomesh together to get realtraction and with thattraction forward movement.
Aquaculturevalues, county bycounty for 2011Starting in the North East,county Louth produced over €1million worth of gigas oystersand €1.4 million of bottommussel in 2011. In general,demand for gigas has beenstrong in recent years partlydue to the mortalities in France.
Skipping over West Meath andDublin to look at countyWicklow. Here one findsfreshwater trout production tothe value of €891,000. Thisfigure reflects the demand forhigh quality trout product in thedomestic market in particlar.From a shellfish point of view,even though there is no on-growing in counties Westmeath,Dublin and Wicklow, it shouldbe noted that seed mussel istaken from the coastal watersoff these counties, and this is a
valuable resource to the bottommussel industry.
Further south, Wexford was thelargest producer of bottommussels in the country with aproduction value of €5.57million. Kerry and Donegal are
the other two main bottommussel producing counties.Inland, Wexford and Carlowsalmon smolt production had avalue of €639,000. The demandfor high quality smolts is strongand this trend is set to continue.Wexford gigas oyster productionwas valued at over €1.27million in 2011.
Counties Carlow, Kilkenny andTipperary all have land-basedfinfish activity. Salmon smolts,freshwater trout (€700,00) and

a small amount of perch are thethree species that feature inthese counties.
Back to the coast, Waterford hadgigas production of €9.61 millionmaking it the ‘number 2’producer of this species in thecountry for 2011, second only tocounty Donegal. Waterfordbottom mussel production wasvalued at €90,000 in 2011.
Cork is the number one ropemussel producer in the county,and it is also in Cork that onegets a first encounter withsalmon aquaculture. Salmonaquaculture was valued at over€19 million and smolts at€275,000. Freshwater trout arealso a feature of this county witha value of €300,000. Corkproduces more rope-grownmussel than any other countywith a 2011 value of €3.2million. Gigas oysters are alsovery significant at a value of€1.15 million. Urchin and scallopproduction had a combinedproduction value of €30,000 forthe year, and this figure wouldappear to be stable whencompared with previous years.Abalone value was €6,000. Thisfigure is set to increase in thefuture as production capacityincreases.
Kerry has produced salmon inthe recent past but there are noactive salmon productionfacilities in the county atpresent. This county has adiverse range of shellfishaquaculture with bottom grownmussel leading the pack with avalue of €1.87 million. Nativeoyster production for 2011 was0.6 million for the county. Traleebay and county Clare are thebiggest native oyster producersin the country. It should benoted that native oysterproduction is less that 4% of theoverall oyster industry in Irelandat present. Rope mussel andgigas oysters are also welldeveloped industries in Kerrywith production values of€502,000 and €1.11 millionrespectively. Scallop aquaculturewas worth €14,000.
Gigas are the main species foundin county Clare with a value of€521,500. There are also
relatively small amounts of clam,scallop and rope musselproduction present here.
As we move into Galway,aquaculture values take off in amajor way with salmonproduction worth €22.3 millionand smolt values of €662,000.Char production is unique toGalway with a value of €280,000.There is also a well developedshellfish industry in the county.Native (€662,000) and gigasoyster (€973,750) production aswell as rope grown mussels(€827,193) are very significantindustries in this county. There isalso freshwater trout productionto the value of €41,000.
Mayo is another stalwart of theaquaculture industry producing afull range of both finfish andshellfish. Salmon production forthe county was valued at €16.5million in 2009. However, therewas no salmon production(harvest) in 2011 due totemporary site fallowing at ClareIsland. In 2011 gigas was valuedat €1.4 million and rope musselat €405,920. Sea trout werevalued at €900,000.
Inland to Roscommon, Cavan andMonaghan we see perchproduction with a combinedvalue of €78,000. This figurerepresents a significant fall inproduction when compared toprevious years.
Sligo is the ‘number one’producer of clams in the country,with a value of €730,000 in 2011.Gigas oysters are also verysignificant with a value of€146,800.
Donegal was the ‘number one’Irish aquaculture county by valuein 2011. The combined outputvalue was over €47 million.Donegal is the top salmonproducer and joint leader withCounty Waterford for gigas oysterproduction. Salmon were valuedat a massive €31.89 million andgigas at €10.39 million. Bottommussel production was valued at€1.74 million There were alsohigh levels of production for thefollowing:- Sea trout €1.1 million,rope mussel €625,000 andscallop €180,000. Smolts werevalued at €1.9 million in 2011.

Donegal BayEntrepreneursAnnounceAmbitious Plansto IncreaseOyster Productionby 2014
Situated in Ireland’s largest bay with theRiver Eske flowing westward carving theestuary into a myriad of sand spits andchannels, this unique location is ideallysuited to the cultivation of oysters. Witheach tide, the pure Atlantic Ocean feedsthe oyster beds in the bay producing oneof the world’s most sought-after delicaciesenjoyed from France to Hong Kong.

Donegal Bay Oyster Farm
FOUR PRODUCERSWithin Donegal Bay, fourcompanies grow and harvestthis particular crop ofoysters: Seabreeze Limitedfounded by Willie Britton,renowned surfer and qualityoyster grower; Bells IsleSeafood run by another localman Des Moore producesoysters for the premiummarkets of France and Asia;Donegal Oysters Limited ismanaged by Damien Reid,while his brother Conor,runs the fourth company,Donegal Ocean DeepOysters. The majority ofthese local entrepreneurshave been operating in thebay for over 20 years. With afantastic luxury productavailable, and plans toincrease production andgenerate increased sales andemployment, Bord IascaighMhara (BIM) assisted BellsIsle and Donegal OystersLimited with their businessdevelopment plans toensure their products weredifferentiated on keymarkets.
The four entrepreneurs haveworked well together andthey have ambitious plans inplace to expand theproduction of their ‘spéciale’oysters. Plans are alsounderway to secure another30 hectares of farming area
which, coupled with over 70million seeds alreadypurchased, has the potentialto increase the harvest toover 2,000 tonnes by 2014with a first sale value inexcess of €10 million.
JOBS POTENTIALCurrently, Donegal Bayoyster farming supports 24full-time jobs and a further40 part-time workers. Withthis development plan inplace, a further 16 full-timeand 40 part-time workerscould be created in the shortterm. And with full value-added facilities in place, atotal of 100 full-time and 80part-time jobs could besupported. This is aphenomenal opportunity -particularly in the midst of a
recession - and it highlightsthe importance of ouraquaculture sector toIreland’s economy.
Gaining the premier statusin these markets does notcome easy. To produce anoyster worthy of the‘spéciales’ status the farmermust work in harmony withNature. It is a skilledprofession that takes manyyears to perfect.
The availability of modernland-based sorting facilitieshas given Donegal Bay anunprecedented position inthe world oyster market.Currently, only 75 hectaresof Donegal Bay is used foroyster production. Thisequates to over 1,200 tonnesof market-sized oysters at avalue of over €6 million.
ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPONSIBILITIESThe farmers’ take theirresponsibility to theenvironment and therequired regulations veryseriously. Des Moore of BellsIsle explains: “As DonegalBay oyster farmers, weunderstand the importanceof an optimum environmentto produce a superiorquality oyster. We operatewithin a Special Area ofConservation (SAC) and thechallenge of maintainingthis natural balance is
crucial to the ongoingsuccess of our business. Weare all dedicated to theprotection of the bay as wewould like to see oysterfarming continue in the areafor many generations tocome.”
EXPANSION PLANSWith an increased demandfrom international marketsto provide year roundoysters, the farmers need toexpand production to 2,000tonnes per annum usingnew licences and supportingproduction sites. They alsoaim to developinternationally recognisedbrands of oysters fromDonegal Bay (they arecurrently pursuing ProtectedGeographical Indication(PGI) status for their oysters)in conjunction withinvestment in new state ofthe art packing andpurification facilities. Thefour farmers believe thatthese targets can be metwithin a three yeartimeframe if licenceapplications are progressed.
As Conor Reid explains: “Wepurchased sufficient seed in2011 to meet the target of2,000 tonnes by 2014. Weneed to use this seed tomeet market demand and todeliver on our targets ofsales and employment.”

A Vision andStrategic Plan forEuropeanAquaculture
The EATiP envisions that by 2030, the European aquacultureindustry will be supporting over 150,000 jobs as it annuallyprovides 4.5 million tonnes of sustainable food productsworth €14 billion. The sector will continute to cultivate a widerange of major fish and mollusc species in a broad range ofenvironments and will be a well-established and respectedpan-European production activity.
In 2007, industry stakeholders realised that for aquaculture tobe sustainable and successful, research priorities and actionplans needed to be defined. Subsequently, EATiP wasestablished as a European Technology Platform (ETP). ETPshave been set up since 2003 as industry-led frameworks fordeveloping and implementing strategic agendas and researchpriorities. There are over 35 officially recognised TechnologyPlatforms covering major European industries.
ETPs follow a similar pattern for achieving goals. They areindustry-led and involve widespread consultation withstakeholders leading to a Vision for the relevant industrybeing defined, a strategy developed and a plan of actionplotted. The TPs then set about trying to realise the Vision byimplementing their plan of action through collective actionand mobilisation.
In September 2012, the EATiP will publish its three mainoutputs (Vision, Strategic Research and Innovation Agendaand the Plan of Action) to the European Parliament, theEuropean Commission and Member States. The outputsrepresent the work of over 250 experts who collaborated todevelop a joint vision and carry out a needs identification forthe sector. The experts were carefully selected to cover allstakeholder interests and expertise as well as all geographicregions and sub-sectors of the industry.
Eight Thematic areas were set up to facilitate the work of theexperts: (i) Product Quality, Consumer Safety and Health (ii)Technology and Systems (iii) Managing the Biological Life Cycle(iv) Sustainable Feed Production (v) Integration with theEnvironment (vi) Knowledge Management (vii) Aquatic Animal
Health and Welfare, and (viii) Socio-economics andManagement. Each thematic area had a working group led bya chair from industry and a facilitator typically from theresearch community. David Murphy, Manager of AquaTT,Dublin is the facilitator of Knowledge Management (thematicarea six) and played a key role supporting the work of theother thematic areas.
Key goals and sub-goals have been identified for eachthematic area. Achieving these 39 key goals and 145 sub-goalswill be essential to deliver the Vision for the sector. The goalscover a range of targets and challenges encompassing theneeds of the sector (e.g. new knowledge through targetedresearch investments, policy and governance needs,marketing support and coordination, training and effectiveknowledge transfer).
Growth targets and scenarios are broken down into four sub-sectors of European Aquaculture (cold water marine, shellfish,Mediterranean and freshwater). Each sub-sector has verydifferent strategies and ambitions. For cold water finfish, it isenvisaged that the sector has the potential to double itscapacity but it is not anticipated that many major new specieswill impact the total tonnage significantly. Thus, investmentsshould be focused on improving how we grow existing species,rather than major investments in new species.
For the shellfish sector the ambition is to increasecompetitiveness and product quality whilst realising thatshellfish products are likely to serve both mass and nichemakets. One of the most important predictions for theshellfish sector is the recognition and expansion of thecontribution of the sector to the greater community,particularly through Ecosystem services. The shellfish sector isunique in its capacity to give positive benefits to itssurrounding environment. In terms of growth, it is foreseenthat by 2030 European shellfish production will grow anddiversify its production by 30-50% or even more.
Once its Vision and SRIA are launched in autumn 2012, theEATiP will transition from being a foresight and strategicplanning platform into an implementation body. A key taskwill be communicating the Vision and SRIA to policy makers,funding bodies and industrial companies in order to ensurethat all investments are working towards key challenges forEuropean aquaculture's development. The EATiP will alsoneed to set up systems for mobilising and supportingstakeholders at a regional and member state level so thatbarriers at all levels can be overcome. Mirror TechnologyPlatforms have already been established in Spain, Greece,Hungary and Italy. It is possible that these will be theoperational bodies tasked with mobilising stakeholders towork together to address the challenges that face the sector ata regional level.

‘Salmon of Knowledge’Gets 21st Century Reboot
In the 1980s, Cliona’s father Damien ÓCeallacháin, established Muir Gheal Teo, oneof Ireland's first salmon farms. From a youngage the farm was a huge part of her daily lifeand she eventually became the farm'sOrganic Quality Manager.
“You could almost say we grew up together.It’s not surprising that I spent many daysout at sea and many evenings in the office. Iexperienced the ups and downs of the Irishsalmon farming community as it advancedto become a dynamic and integral part ofthe Irish economy,” she says.
When Muir Gheal Teo closed, Cliona waslooking for new challenges andopportunities. She switched coasts—fromwest to east— to join AquaTT. The companywas established in 1992 by Irish Universitiesunder an EU programme that funded newcompanies to bridge the gap between theUniversity sector and enterprises acrossEurope.
“The company has been operating for 20years. I’ve joined it at a really exciting pointin its development. Over the past three yearsit has broadened its services to include allmarine sectors,” Cliona explains.
AquaTT's workforce has also increased,growing from 3 to 14 over the last threeyears. “The new team members haveboosted the company's capabilities andservice offerings. We have added experts inbusiness development, sciencecommunication, as well as technical writersand we've increased our scientific expertisewith three new post-docs in fisheries andaquaculture. I bring my industry andmanagement experience to the table andprovide insights into how research resultscan have applications on farms. Thecompany has a great multidisciplinaryapproach and we all learn from each other,”she says.
Cliona works within AquaTT’s knowledgetransfer team as a scientific project officer.Currently, her main focus is on theAquaInnova project. “It’s an EU-fundedinitiative that seeks to establish anoperational framework for dialogue betweenthe aquaculture industry, the research
community and policy-makers. We'reworking to increase the potential forinnovation and technological developmentin European aquaculture."
The AquaInnova project assists theEuropean Aquaculture Technology andInnovation Platform (EATiP – www.eatip.eu)to promote the communication andutilisation of aquaculture RTD researchactions and results. EATiP has beendesigned to include all members of theEuropean aquaculture value chain.
“EATiP is working closely withrepresentatives from the different Europeanaquaculture sectors to create a Vision for thefuture of European aquaculture that ispositive and sustainable. This collectiveapproach to developing a roadmap forEuropean R&D Research will hopefully leadthe industry towards a bright new future,”says Cliona. “From a personal point-of-view, Ifind this work very exciting and extremelyimportant. I’ve personally seen how the Irishaquaculture industry has overcomeobstacles and found solutions by workingtogether.”
Cliona believes that by 2030, Europeanaquaculture could well become a globalleader in terms of the quality, sustainabilityand diversity of its products and services.“For this to become a reality, a synergisticeffort needs to take place on a large scale.The aquaculture industry needs to worktogether within the EU to create a challenge-driven approach to research anddevelopment. This could prove to be a
Trevor Purtill, AquaTTIreland’s aquaculture industry requires a more mobile and adaptable workforce. Cliona Ní Cheallacháin typifiesthis mobility within the industry, having switched from fish farm management in Connemara to working as aproject officer with AquaTT, a leading European scientific knowledge management company based in Dublin.

remarkable turning point for Europeanaquaculture.”
Working together, creating partnerships anddeveloping networks are activities thatAquaTT excels at. “We work with Irishscientists and companies to enable them tobecome partners in European consortia. Wehave helped secured €5.8m for Irish researchorganisations and SMEs in the past threeyears alone,” Cliona explains.
AquaTT is currently involved in 16 European7th Framework Projects (FP7), working withover 250 institutes and companies globally.This international success at fundingprocurement has made AquaTT the mostsuccessful Irish marine-focused SME in theFP7 programme.
Cliona credits the company's success to thediverse skills of its team. “Each individualbrings with them know-how and experiencewhich are applied to all areas of AquaTT’sknowledge management services. Ourcompetencies include dissemination,knowledge transfer, training, stakeholderengagement and project management.”
The projects AquaTT is involved with cover abroad range of marine research domainsincluding fisheries, aquaculture, marinegenomics and marine energy. AquaTT is alsoa pioneer in developing innovativemethodologies and approaches to knowledgemanagement, particularly knowledge-captureand uptake.
Cliona seems to have found the rightchallenge for herself. “Working to improvehow knowledge generated from research isefficiently managed, transferred and usedcan be difficult, but is ultimately veryrewarding.”
“Much like an Bradán Feasa, the Salmon ofKnowledge, who gave all the knowledge inthe world to Fionn MacCumhail, AquaTT isworking towards a reality where researchresults are made readily and effectivelyavailable to the people who need and wantit.”

During 2011 there were toxicevents in shellfish from fourdifferent syndromesdetected in shellfishanalysed as part of thenational monitoringprogramme. The causativespecies for these outbreakswere detected in waters atthe time of the event, withthe exception of Azaspiracidtoxicity for which no obviouspresence of Azadinium wasnoted in phytoplanktonmonitoring programme.Each of these outbreaksresulted in closures ofshellfish production areas as
detailed below.
ASP SUMMARYDomoic acid concentrationswere typically observed to be<LOQ (Limit ofQuantification) or <LOD(Limit of detection) insamples of species (except P.maximus) submitted in theearly part of 2011. However,Pseudo-nitzschia spp. wereobserved to increase,predominantly in the SouthWest to a maximumconcentration of 169,000cells/litre during week 18
(beginning of May). Duringthis time, increases in theconcentration of DomoicAcid were observed insamples of M.edulissubmitted, wherepredominantlyconcentrations in samplessubmitted from InnerBantry Bay were greaterthan regulatory levels.Quantifiable concentrationsless than regulatory levelswere observed in samplessubmitted from sites withinouter Bantry and KenmareBay.
Between weeks 19 to 20,levels of both Pseudo-nitzschia seriata spp. andDomoic Acid were observedto decrease, allowing for allpreviously affected sites tobe assigned Open statusduring week 20. ASPconcentrations wereobserved to decrease furtherin all affected areas duringJune to levels typically <LOD.
All samples analysed havebeen typically <LOD / LOQ forthe remainder of the year inall shellfish species apartfrom Pectenidae, which

usually contain persistentlevels of Domoic acid in thenon edible tissues. Molecularanalysis was conducted onphytoplankton samples fromthe South West, whereavailable. During thepresence of ASP (DomoicAcid) producing species,Pseudo-nitzschia australisand Pseudo-nitzschiadelicatissma were observedto be present in some of thesamples.
AZP SUMMARY2011 was a year with littleAzaspiracid, in which thesite closures were mostly dueto DSP toxins or a mixture ofDSP and AZA toxins whereDSP was predominanat.
All samples analysed wereobserved to be below theregulatory level duringJanuary to August, typically<LOD/LOQ. In August one sitewithin Bantry Bay wasobserved to contain levelsjust above the regulatorythreshold (0.17μg/g). Allsamples analysed werebelow the regulatory levelduring August to October,except for two sites withinBantry Bay, one in August
and one in September.These subsequentlydecreased to concentrationsbelow the regulatory level inOctober.
All samples analysed werebelow the regulatory levelduring November 2011 toFebruary 2012. Quantifiableconcentrations decreasedduring November, wheretypically concentrationsswere <0.1μg/g.
DSP SUMMARYDuring early to the middle ofJanuary 2011, concentrationsof DSP toxins remainingfrom the 2010 toxicityoutbreak decreased to belowthe regulatory level, with themajority of sites re-openingin Bantry, Dunmanus andKenmare bays. By end ofJanuary 2011 all sites wereon Open status.
DSP concentrations aboveregulatory level returned insamples of M. edulissubmitted from the innerparts of Bantry Bay duringthe last week of May 2011,where the toxins weremainly a mixture of bothOkadiac Acid and OkadiacAcid esters, where, in a smallnumber of samples, smallerconcentrations of DTX-2esters were present. Thisintoxification occurred at thesame time the numbers ofDinophysis spp. cells wereincreasing in these sites.
For the remainder of thecountry, concentrations weretypically <LOD & <LOQ,including Kenmare, where acouple of sites hadquantifiable concentrationsless than regulatory level.These levels remained insites within Bantry andKenmare Bays during June2011, but concentrationswere observed to decrease tobelow the regulatory level inall these sites toward the endof June.
DSP levels were observed to
increase again within thesebays from the end of July /beginning of August,resulting in further closuresfrom the middle of August.The toxin composition wasobserved to be a mixture ofOkadaic Acid and its esters,and DTX-2. In the northernpart of Ireland (CountyDonegal) DSPconcentrations just abovethe regulatory level wereobserved for a short periodduring July in McSwynesBay.
Concentrations above theregulatory level continuedin samples of M. edulissubmitted from sites withinBantry and Kenmare Baysduring September 2011.Concentrations decreasedto below the regulatorylevel in a number of thesesites, mainly in Bantryduring October; however anumber of sites withinKenmare remained abovethe regulatory level as lateas early November. DSPconcentrations above theregulatory level remained insamples of M. edulissubmitted from sites withinKenmare Bay duringNovember 2011.Concentrations decreasedto below the regulatorylevel in these sites duringNovember onwards, with allsites on Open status.
PSP SUMMARYSimilar to previous years,PSP was limited to CorkHarbour for one shortepisode in June.Alexandrium minutum wasdetected outside of Corkbut shellfish tested fromthese areas were allnegative for PSP toxins.
In 2011 the method foranalysis of PS toxinsswitched from Bioassay toHPLC chemical methodsusing the Lawrence Method.All samples analysed forPSP between January andJune were less than the
regulatory level via ELISAand HPLC analysis.
PSP concentrations wereabove the regulatory levelduring the end of June for atwo week period, in samplesof M.edulis from CorkHarbour where the highestconcentration observed was164.8μg/100g STXdiHClequivalents.
Quantifiable concentrationsbelow the regulatory levelwere observed in samples ofC.gigas from Cork Harbour,53.7 μg/100g STXdiHClequiv.’s. All other samplesanalysed were typically <LOD/ LOQ. All samples analysedfollowing this outbreak weretypically <LOD / LOQ. Allsamples analysed weretypically n.d. / LOQ, wherefrom October onwards therewas only one occurrence ofAlexandrium spp. cells beingobserved.
CONCLUSIONS2011 was a typical year withoccurrences of the majortoxin groups in shellfish atthe times that they wouldusually be expected. The ASPdetected in mussels in earlyMay is becoming a regularannual occurrence in recentyears. The DSP event throughthe summer monthsfollowed by azaspiracid wasalso a typical summer toxinoutbreak as has been seen inmany recent years.Azaspiracid became acontributory toxin to thesummer closures in thelatter part of the season andthis dissipated from mostareas as the autumn monthsprogressed. A brief period ofPSP was detected in CorkHarbour in late June. Testingin the Marine Institute waschanged in 2011 with theintroduction of EU legislationwhich allowed chemicaltesting to replace bioassays,and the use of LCMS andHPLC analytical techniqueswas introduced in July for allshellfish toxin groups.

The triennial InternationalAbalone Symposium(http://www.cdesign.com.au/ias2012/) held in Hobart,Tasmania, was the ideal venueto launch the Abblox sea-based abalone rearing system.Flanked by CSIRO(Commonwealth Scientific andIndustrial ResearchOrganisation) - the AustralianNational Science Agency onone side of the display space,and the Korean AbaloneIndustry stand on the other,the Abblox stand drewconstant attention andgratifying approval, not tomention orders from diversecountries such as NewZealand, Mexico, the Canariesand Denmark.
THE SYSTEM AND
HOW IT WORKSSo what is the Abblox systemand where did it come from?Abblox is an Irish designedand manufactured cubicmetre mesh box. It evolvedfrom the 2008-11 SUDEVABresearch project (seewww.sudevab.eu) of which JSFIwas a principal member. Itspatent relates mostly to thefact that it can be made upfrom small economically-produced plates by unskilledhands. It was also designedwith Irish conditions in mindand, although primarily forabalone, it will be equally athome producing urchins orsea-cucumbers.
The project identified what didand did not work in sea-basedabalone culture, and setdesired performance targets
for any new culture system.The first major considerationwas how to maximise andmaintain the water throughflow and yet have a meshsmall enough to retain a15mm long abalone? Abbloxlinks a number of technicalinnovations and observationsto resolve this conundrum.
The mesh faces cover theentire surface of the culturebox, while the structuralsupport units lie outside thisbox shape. This means thatdead spaces with poor waterflow cannot develop andimpair oxygen levels or reducethe removal of waste. Thedouble mesh system not onlygives great strength to themesh faces but also generatesa ‘Venturi effect’ that changesthe velocity of the water anddisrupts the settlement ofbiofouling organisms.
The plastic is a mix of toughHDPE and silicone rubberswhich gives an effective non-stick, impact-resistant surface.In high biofouling areas a
bright blue colour can be usedto restrict settlement (seehttp://www.crabproject)
HOW WILL IT BE
USED?The second consideration washow is this system going to beused? There is no such thingas a standard abalone farm,standard conditions orstandard farm size. So, howcan these variables beaccommodated in a singlesystem? The simplest systemis an intertidal one. Here,Abblox are placed near or onMax LWS anchored by eightinternal concrete blocks.These fit tightly with just a fewmillimetres of movement, andweigh 150kg or so dry weight.Abalone will tolerate a fewhours dry each month, and
this allows time to inspectand feed them .The Jersey SeaFarms site in Jersey uses thissystem.
Most people will opt for thelongline system often usedfor mussels or scallops witheither single or units-of-fourAbblox on the bottom linkedby a head rope. The structuraltubes on the outside of theAbblox can take 32mm rope,or up to 32mm reinforcingsteel bar for strength and/orweight. France Haliotiscurrently has nearly 200 unitsof 4 in operation (seewww.francehaliotis.com).
The outcome of jointoperation with FusionMarine, a salmon cagemanufacturer based in Oban,Scotland has proven to be aninteresting development. Thisis a floating system whichuses salmon cage techniquesto make a collar for 6-10Abblox suspended in thewater. It is accessible by asmall boat without hydrauliclifting gear. With manysalmon farmers looking todevelop IntegratedMultitrophic Aquaculture(IMTA) with a seaweed by-product , abalone can form avery valuable tertiary crop.
All of these systems arescalable, in that a prospectivefarmer can try it out with as

little as one unit costing acouple of hundred euro intotal. They can then build it upto a sizable enterprise asconditions improve. This isquite different from land-based abalone culture whichhas no such flexibility.Internally, the abalone ‘hide’in Abcups - another JSFIinnovation - cupped discs thatfit on a shaft. The low cross-sectional area does notsignificantly slow down waterpassage. and they are easilyremoved for grading orharvesting the abalone.
NEW PRODUCT A
REVELATIONJersey Sea Farms (Ireland) isalso a hands-on shellfishfarmer. Having identified thata major constraint todeveloping a market forfarmed European abalone wasthat the prospectivecustomers had never tasted it,we set about producing a‘taster’ product.
This is the Ormer with Dulseconserve: a mix of coarse-cutpoached abalone, cream,butter, a little tabasco, and apinch of dulse seaweed. Thisdrew rapturous approvalwhen it was served as acanapé at this years’ ShellfishAssociation of Great BritainAnnual Conference Dinner.Only a handful of the 200
diners had ever tasted abalonebefore.
YET MORE
INNOVATIONBut the innovations have notstopped there. In 1998 JSFIproduced an oyster rearingcylinder called the Ortac,mostly for inhouse use inIreland. Rumour has it thatcertain Australian oystercylinders were ‘invented’ soonafter a visit by Australianoyster farmers to the BIMoffices in Dún Laoghaire whereOrtacs were on display! Thatsaid, they missed out on itsmost innovative element - a‘boosted water flow’. Theupper wing structure on theOrtac generates a strongupwelling when exposed to acurrent from any direction.This works well for Crassostreagigas, but last years’experiments with Ostrea edulishave been nothing short of arevelation. Native oystersreached 85g in two years withminimal mortality, a 20% meatyield, and a final stockingdensity of 6Kg per unit. Given aBonamia-free zone this nowmakes ‘flats’ a real alternativeto the beleaguered gigas.
Perhaps 2012 will be the ‘Yearof the Granted Licences’, and Ican get to produce decentquantities of shellfish fromthese innovative systems.

According to the FAO, contraryto world capture fisheriesproduction, which has almoststopped growing since the1980s, the aquaculture sectorhas maintained an averageannual growth rate of 8.3%worldwide (FA0, 2010). Seaweedaquaculture has also beenexpanding since the 1970s. Thissector, which has mainlydeveloped in Asian countries,has maintained an averageannual growth rate of 7.7 %worldwide. Of the total globalproduction of aquatic plants,93.8% come only fromaquaculture. In contrast,production of macroalgaeoutside of Asia mainly comesfrom wild resources.
Aquaculture is recognised asan essential industry toguarantee the food supply for aglobal human populationdisplaying exponential growth.However, the increasingcompetition for the use of
coastal areas worldwide,together with the rapidexpansion of aquaculture, hascreated a demand for moresustainable practices from theconsumers and other coastalzone users. More and moreconcerns have been raised withrespect to intensive,monoculture aquaculturepractices. For example, withoutcareful management, high-yieldfinfish systems that intensivelyculture a single species canproduce high levels of wasteproducts that may impactheavily on the environment.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONTo guarantee environmentaland economic sustainabledevelopment of this industry,“Integrated Multi-TrophicAquaculture” (IMTA) has beendescribed as a possible solution(Figure 1). In these systems,species from different trophic
levels are combined to benefitfrom each other’s physiology.When combining “heterotrophicorganisms” such as fish andshellfish, with “autotrophs”,such as algae (seaweed), theoverall nutrient budget of anintegrated system becomesmore balanced than thetraditional intensivemonoculture system.Heterotrophic organismsrequire oxygen to grow, and alsoconsumes organic Carbon (C),Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorous(P) from formulated and or livefeeds. Consequently, theyrelease waste products such ascarbon dioxide (CO2) andvarious forms of dissolved andparticulate N and P,contributing to eutrophicationof the environment. In contrast,autotrophic organisms requiresunlight to photosynthesise,and convert CO2, inorganic Nand P into biomass. Wasteproducts from thisphotosynthetic process aremainly oxygen (O2). By actively
taking up excess nutrients inthe water, autotrophs such asseaweed decreaseeutrophication of the marineenvironment (Cremades et al.,2012).
Some of the earliest IMTAinitiatives took place in theearly 1990’s at NUIG RyanInstitute’s Carna ResearchStation. Nutrient-rich effluentwater from abalone was usedto cultivate a number ofmacroalgae. A few years laterunder the Biopuralg project(EU, Interreg IIIC), the RyanInstitute’s Irish SeaweedResearch Group, (ISRG) andOyster Creek Seafoods Ltd.(SME), tested two macroalgalspecies (Porphyra dioica andUlva lactuca). These werecultivated in a cascading tanksystem, using the outflow ofcultured rainbow trout(Hanniffy and Kraan, 2006).Pigmentation of seaweedsincreased with increasingnutrient availability in theseawater effluent, which alsorelated to a higher protein levelwithin the seaweed. This wasclearly visible for Ulva lactuca(Figure 2). Higher protein levelsof 5-10% were also found when‘biofilter’ seaweeds werecompared to wild samples(Figure 3).

It should appealto a wide range of readers across a broad range of interests:suspense; adventure and romance; to historic, military and theparanormal. This is the fiftieth anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisisand while many people know just how close the world came to nuclearannihilation - most don't know that three Russian submarines, armedwith nuclear-tipped torpedoes were poised to strike at US Naval forcesaround Cuba. Luckily, these were diesel-powered with limitedunderwater speed and endurance, which were quickly detected by USdestroyers and forced to back off. But what if an atomic-poweredRussian submarine, with superior underwater speed and limitlessendurance had been ordered to attack?

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)cages to those growing in acontrol location without directnutrient input. The resultsclearly showed that twospecies of seaweeds tested,Ulva lactuca and Laminariadigitata performed well asnutrient biofilters whengrowing next to the salmoncages. Their protein valuesincreased 9.1% and 4.1 %,respectively.
These results suggest thatcreating a simple integratedsystem with fish and seaweedcan help to reduce thenutrient outputs from fishfarms. Therefore, seaweed thathas already served a usefulpurpose as a nutrient biofilter,could be used as a value-added product by beingincorporated as a protein-richingredient in animal feeds. Byincluding additional extractivespecies such as mussels andsea urchins alongside theseaweed, monoculture farmscan move towards newvaluable products, whilstimproving exisitingenvironmental conditions.
In conclusion, dependanceon aquaculture products isincreasing worldwide, whilethere is increasing demand forsustainable practices thatbenefit the cultured speciesand the environment.Integrated Multi-TrophicAquaculture may be onemethod of achievingsustainable productivity.Small-scale IMTA research inIreland has demonstratedpositive results, but whetherthe concept of IMTA will beembraced in a wider contextwithin Ireland depends on anumber of factors, not leastjoint research anddemonstration effortsbetween state agencies,industry and research groups.

Early results from the trialsindicated that gigas performedbest in Cork, then in CarlingfordLough, while in Carna its growthproved to be very poor. As aresult, gigas oyster productionbegan to take off in Carlingford,but it was almost fifteen yearslater before it was grownseriously in Cork Harbour, andquestions began to be asked asto why a shellfish researchstation was located in Carna –an area where this species wasproven to grow poorly.
And while Carlingfordremained the main centre ofproduction through the 1970s,Údarás na Gaeltachta - in theform of Beirtreach Teo -attempted to spread oysterproduction throughout the west.It was the late 1980s howeverbefore significant productioneventually began to take placein Cork Harbour, then inDungarvan and later inWoodstown in Co Waterford. Bythis time too, oyster productionwas also developing on somepotentially good sites inDonegal.
By the early 1990s however –some twenty years after gigaswas first introduced here –production nationally had notrisen above 1,000 tonnes perannum, and Carlingford Loughwas still the single largest site.Progress had indeed been slow,with production coming mainlyfrom many small units, most ofwhich were not commerciallyviable. For those involved in the
sector at this time the learningcurve was long - and oftenpainful. There was little supportavailable for producers whocould not even buy their oysterbags, hooks, or rubber in Irelandat the time. Mechanisation inthe sector overall was alsominimal, and links to marketwere poor and under-developed.Quality too was very mixed and,because production in Francewas high at the time, it was evenmore difficult for Irish oysters tofind reliable markets there atrealistic prices.
All In A Shell Ltd, started upwith the aim of providing a fullservice to the Irish shellfishsector. We wanted to make allthe necessary materialsavailable here in Ireland and tohelp production to grow to alevel where it would beeconomical to mechanise. Wealso wanted to improve qualityand to forge stronger links withthe French industry. With anannual production of 100,000tonnes France was ultimatelythe market destination for thebulk of Irish production.
By 2000 Ireland had oysterbusinesses that were largeenough to be viable, and, aidedby captial grants, they were alsoin a position to invest in thenecessary machinery andbuildings that would enablethem to increase efficiency andproduct quality. French buyerstook notice of this trend andmany of them began to comehere to buy Irish product
directly or did so through agentshere.
The past twelve years hasseen annual oyster productionin Ireland rising to between 5-and 6,000 tonnes. Overall,quality has improvedsignificantly, and prices havealso risen – making the 2011-12production worth €20-25million in export sales. Much ofthis has been down to our ownefforts. By 2007 scale andefficiency of production hadalso grown. By now, All In AShell has provided seven of theeight or so electronic gradingsystems and a range of ancillaryequipment and specialisedboats operating here.
These positive developmentshave enabled Irish producers tooffer properly-graded andaccurately-priced oysters to themarket. It must be saidnevertheless that our successhas in part been due to thedifficulties experienced byFrench producers due to diseaseand the development here ofTriploid oysters which enablesIrish producers to avoid the so-called 'milky' condition.
The past five years has alsoseen a steady rise in prices andhuge improvement in qualitythrough the use of Triploidoysters – particularly in some ofthe otherwise marginal sites inDonegal. Success has attractedthe attention of Frenchproducers - some of whom havebought outright or into a largepercentage of the good oyster
sites in Ireland. While this maynot be ideal from a narrow Irishperspective, the economics ofthe business has improved forgood Irish producers who cannow compete with the bestanywhere. Some of ourproducers have even turned thetables by investing directly indistribution from their ownbases in France.
Meanwhile, All In A Shell haswatched and been a part of thisgrowth, and we continue to bean Irish based and focusedportal through which to accessthe best international practiceand design in the area ofshellfish machinery. Morerecently, we have beensupplying solar lights forboundary marking, buoys andother aids to navigation. As acompany our focus is local butour vision continues to beglobal.
Looking back, some questionsmust be asked. Have we doneenough with C. gigas? Probablynot. Has the optimism of 40years ago been justified?Probably yes. Should we domore? Certainly yes…...
After all, shellfish is toaquaculture what cows are toagriculture: the ‘free energy’ ofthe sun is captured, by grassand phytoplankton, and turnedinto the ‘white oil’ of milk andthe valuable nutritious nuggetsthat are in high demand onexport markets .
Sure, what else should thiscountry be doing!!

Twenty years of oyster production in Ireland:has the early optimism been justified?
Automatic Oyster Grader
In 1972 BIM imported some gigas oyster seed fromthe MAAF hatchery in Conway, Wales, in order toconduct the first growth trials in Ireland with thisspecies in Carlingford Lough, Cork Harbour and atthe newly opened Shellfish Laboratory in Carna,County Galway. A lot has happened in the shellfishsector in the meantime, but has it been enough, andhas our early optimism been justified? Should we befurther along the road? These are the questions thatarise looking back.

Coral reefs are among the world’s most fragileand endangered ecosystems and man has longheld a fascination with the variety ofextraordinary marine plants and animals thesecomplex ecosystems host. People have keptgoldfish and other freshwater ornamental fishesin bowls and ponds for centuries, especially inparts of Asia. However, it is only since the 1970sthat technological advances, from transportationimprovements to artificial seawater, high-powered filtration pumps and protein skimmers,have made it possible to distribute saltwaterfishes from remote, formerly inaccessibleregions, to demand centres across the world.
This paved the way for an explosion of amateurswho sought to keep marine fish successfully inhome aquaria. Replicating the more challenging andbiologically diverse ecosystems of coral reefs inaquaria (as opposed to the relatively simpler hobbyof keeping freshwater fish) has steadily expandedsince the initial surge. With the technologicaladvancements from the late 1970’s to early 1980’sthe sector has grown significantly in both value andvolume ever since.
Nevertheless, this demand comes at a price forthe tropical reefs where unsustainable harvestingpractices endanger their delicate ecosystems.International efforts are underway to encourageextensive (as opposed to intensive culture, such asis the case with The Coral Farm) cultivation in thenative coral reef countries. There is, however, realdifficulty in converting the ‘harvesters’ of thesedeveloping countries such as the Philippines andIndonesia to ‘farmers’. Concern has also beenraised within the European and American marketsthat while these culture efforts are welcomed theydo not address the issue of the carbon footprint costin transporting live animals (and the large volumesof water required for ‘live’ transportation) over suchlong distances.
In general terms (price indicators) the market hasresponded very favourably to new trials which areunderway to cultivate species of coral in specially-designated zones of tropical reefs. While someconcerns have been raised (such as the carbonfootprint issue) the demand for these more ethicallysound and environmentally-aware products isstrong. This is reflected in the award of premiumprice. However, the business climate in such zonesis not entirely favourable to such extensive farmingactivities, and despite the support of groups such asthe Marine Aquarium Council and CITESpreferences within local communities themselvestend towards unsustainable fishing practices.
THE CORAL FARMThe Coral Farm’s mission is to be the leadingprovider of cultivated tropical coral species to
Europe’s expanding aquarist market (aquariumtrade). Under the umbrella of the Inagh Valley Trust,the company has been created to cultivate andsupply high-value tropical marine species, thedemand for which is rising due to increasedlegislation put in place by CITES. Such measuresstem the reckless harvest of coral reefs incountries such Indonesia and the Philippines andpresent a significant market opportunity forbranded high-value products.
The R&D phase of the Coral Farm, partly fundedby Údarás na Gaeltachta, operated between 2008and 2011 during which we successfullydemonstrated the commercial viability of culturinga range of hard and soft species coral. This wascarried out over a 24-month demonstration periodwhereby three independent culture systems wereinstalled at Inagh Valley. The resultant ‘crop’ weretrial-marketed through the Fish Antics retail outletin Dún Laoghaire, providing valuable and positivecustomer feedback on the level of quality of stock.This also gave insights to the price points for thecultured specimens.
In addition, a comprehensive analysis of themarket identified the demand for specific high-value reef species. This research was funded byEnterprise Ireland and carried out in collaborationwith the JE Cairns School of Business at NUIGalway (Dr Anne Torres). The third key element ofthe R&D phase was the identification of consumerdemand for a branded, well-researched, line ofsupporting dry goods, such as salts and minerals.To address this consumer need a project has beeninitiated to develop a unique blend of validated drygoods that will enrich consumers’ aquaria. Thespecialist laboratory of Dr Uri Frank, at the Ryanand REMEDI Institutes NUI Galway has beencommissioned to provide the independentvalidation of the efficacy of the dry goods range.
LIVE SPECIMENSThe coral we will offer for sale include both Hardand Soft Coral species. High profile tropical reeffish such as seahorses, clown fish and Banggaicardinalfish (Pterapogon kaudemi) will also be partof the offering as these have the highest appealfactor within European Markets. Complimentaryspecies which act as reef housekeepers such assnails and starfish will complete the live speciesoffering.

SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT AT INAGHThe Inagh Valley Trust is an assembly of seniorBusiness, Research and Academic leaders witha common purpose. Together they wish toaddress growing Societal needs throughinnovation, enterprise and education. A coregoal of the Trust is to establish a ‘Hatchery ofIdeas’ facility in the heart of Connemara througha series of inter-connected companies with astrong R&D ethos, export driven potential and afootprint on the international platform. As wellas the Coral Farm there are currently sixenterprises within the cluster, each with astrong R&D ethos and all utilising their inter-conectivity with the research community toenhance their own particular commercialplatform. The companies include:
• The Connemara Food Company is developing abrand EU-certified 'functional-foods’ forselected bio-active product lines . It hasalready advanced several productformulations, established a network ofspecialist producers, developed a researchprofile, and piloted the culture and harvest ofkey functional ingredients on site at Inagh.The company was awarded a Gold Star forone of its formulations by the Guild of FineFood in the UK.
• Ocean Fuel Ltd. Alternative energy sourcesare of increasing global importance and thethe search for cost-effective, carbon-neutralsources of fuel has led to a rapidly-expandingbio-ethanol industry worldwide. Marine algae(seaweeds) are an excellent potential sourceof bio-ethanol, and they exceed terrestrialbiomass in growth rates. With this as its vision,OFL Ltd has established a state-of-the–artseaweed hatchery and R&D Centre at Inaghand is actively engaged in the search for cost-effective fuel sources.
• Advance Science has been created to developtools and products to enhance bee health, andto ensure their survival worldwide throughresearch, information exchange and productdevelopment.

The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority(SFPA) is the official agencyresponsible for the implementation offood safety legislation in the seafoodsector. In aquaculture, this includesprimary producers such as shellfish orfinfish farmers as well as theprocessors of that seafood. In generalterms, the SFPA’s role is to ensure thatfood safety requirements are compliedwith, and this is achieved viainspections, auditing, monitoring andsampling.
coastal waters and can limit themarkets into which shellfish may besold. The current microbiologicalclassification system is based upongeneral indicator bacteria, that is,those whose levels might reasonablybe assumed to indicate overall waterquality. Recent audit of various EUMember States by the EU commissionhas resulted in an active review of thecriteria by which shellfish areas areawarded the highest ‘A’ status. Ingeneral terms there would appear to besome willingness towards formalisingan allowance in legislation for A classstatus to be retained despiteoccasional moderately elevated results.The details of a particular proposal arenot yet finalised but some change isthis area is likely. The EuropeanCommission is also progressing onformalising a guidance documentwhich should help with theharmonization of approach tomicrobiological classification acrossthe various Member States.
KEEPING PACE WITH
SCIENCEA specific microbial hazard is thepotential for waterborne Norovirus toaccumulate in shellfish. Scientificunderstanding of those viruses isdeveloping rapidly, including reliablemethods for counting these in shellfish.No official limit for these viruses inshellfish currently exists – and equally,no role for their assessment inassigning microbiological classificationexists at present. In 2011 EFSApublished its view on food-borneviruses in general. In 2012 its views onthe specific matter of Norovisues inoysters were made known. That latterview saw merit in establishingacceptable limits, however this did notextend as far as recommending a value Overall, both biotoxin andmicrobiological matters of shellfish areunder active consideration. In the sameway that the move to chemicalbiotoxins analysis can be seen as afirst step in changes to the Biotoxinregimen, the fomalisation of atolerance within A areas and attemptsat harmonization of shellfishclassification, are building blocks onwhich a review of shellfishmicrobiological controls - including
viruses - might be built.
FINFISHFor finfish aquaculture production, theSFPA has a role in on-site inspectionsto verify the food safety requirements.SFPA has engaged with an inter-agency collaborative effort attemptingto maximize the efficiency of stateinspections, through incorporatingvarious official control obligations forfinfish farming into minimal number ofinspections. This has resulted in theincorporation of fin-fish farm foodsafety controls into a combinedinspection carried out by inspectorsfrom the Department of Agriculture,Marine & Food (DAFM). SFPA maypotentially have an ongoing role withthe follow-up on any non-compliancesdetected by those visits, or by analysisby the Marine Institute under theNational Residue MonitoringProgramme. Overall, the SFPA ishopeful that this streamlining ofofficial control activities should be astep towards minimising thebureaucratic burden of demonstratingcompliance by Ireland’s finfish farmers.
WORLD EXPANSIONAt a world level, aquaculture isassuming an increasingly larger role insupplying seafood, and everyindication is that aquacultureproduction will soon surpass wild-caught fish, thereby continuing toassume even more importance in thedecades to come. Asian production inparticular has expanded significantly inrecent times. Irish aquaculture hasimmense potential to participate onsuch world markets, and SFPA controlswill be a necessary part ofunderpinning any such expansion.International trade in food is based
upon a reciprocated trust in the controlsystems in place in individual countries.Trade of fishery products within the EUis only possible with the approvalissued and other underlying officialcontrol systems provided by the SFPA.Export of fishery products to countriesoutside of the EU generally requireshealth certificates to be issued by theSFPA. Since its inception the SFPA hasnegotiated trade agreements tofacilitate acceptance of Irish seafood inRussia, Japan and China, as well as areduction in bureauocraticrequirements for trade into the USA.This market access has been possibledue only to the acceptance of world-class production standards and thecontrol systems which exist in Ireland.
OUTSIDE IRELANDChina has been a salient part of thepast year’s efforts by the SFPA toensure that Irish seafood can maximizethe benefits of our control regimens.The SFPA has participated in visits bythe Chinese Minister for Agricultureand the Chinese Import Authorities toIreland. This was followed by SFPA’sparticipation on Ireland’s food trademission to China where it continued tobuild strong linkages with importcontrol authorities, with the specificaim of supporting Ireland’s marketpenetration to this part of the world.
Overall, seafood businessesrecognise the need to ensure thatnecessary systems are in place toprotect public health and to maintainthe good reputation of Irish seafood.Compliance with food safetyrequirements brings ancillary benefitsof brand protection and market access.The SFPA is committed to continuallyworking with the industry in promotingcompliance and maximising the benefitof those efforts.
The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority –A Key Partner To The Aquaculture Sector
SHELLFISHThe food safety requirements foraquaculture, like all EU legislation, arethe subject of ongoing discussion anddevelopment as scientificunderstanding develops. For shellfishfarmers, 2011 saw the change awayfrom the mouse bioassay with EUlegislation creating precedence formore modern chemical analysis. Thatchange was made in the context ofvarious recommendations by theEuropean Food Safety Authority tolower what is permissible in biotoxins.In the past year the impetus at EU levelhas been more focused on reviewingmicrobiological controls of shellfishrather than on any changes in biotoxins.
Microbiological classification ofproduction areas is a requirement of EUfood legislation - this creates a directinterface between the SFPA andshellfish producers. The microbial loadof coastal waters is a reflection ofvarious factors, most notably run-offfrom land. Microbiologicalclassification is designed to be areflection of the general status of

Nowhere is this more evidentthan in the management ofanimal health, especially inaquaculture species, theculture of which is, for themost part, conducted inrelatively open systems. Thus,the fish health manager isconstantly faced with a rangeof disease risks, most of which,in Rumsfeldian parlance, are‘Known knowns’ and a few ofwhich are ‘Unknownunknowns’.
Of course, a knowledge andunderstanding of potentialdisease threats means that themanager is often able to takemitigating action eitherthrough the implementation ofimproved husbandry, orthrough a programme oftherapeutic intervention. It is athorough understanding of thelatter which nowadays canmake a serious contribution tothe management of diseaserisk on fish farms.
CONTROLLING
DISEASE RISKIn a management context,controlling disease risk broadlyfalls into two classes ofintervention: a proactive
response to the threat ofdisease; or a reactive responseto the presence of disease.Clearly not all diseases affordthe manager a choice betweenbeing proactive and reactive.The infestation of salmon withsea lice is still, by and large,dealt with through reactivetherapies. Viral diseases on theother hand must be proactivelytreated through vaccination.
In the case of bacterialdiseases however, the manageris often faced with a choicebetween a proactiveprogramme of preventionthrough vaccination andreactive intervention withantibiotic. Most people wouldagree that, especially in theproduction of food animals, theformer is a far more desirableapproach than the latter. Thereare also environmentalbenefits to limiting the use ofantibiotics in animal culture.
It is encouraging therefore tohear that in the huge (1.14million tonnes) Pangasiusindustry in Vietnam, wherevaccination of fish is arelatively recent practice, therehas already been a significant
reduction in the amount ofantibiotic used againstbacterial diseases in those fishwhich have been vaccinated - astory which PHARMAQ isproud to be part of.
The origins of this story goback twenty years or more withthe development ofaquaculture vaccines tobacterial fish diseases. It wasfollowed by the development ofmore sophisticated viralvaccines in the early part ofthis century. During this periodthe use of antibiotics insalmonid culture in Norway,for example, has fallen by astaggering 99% as vaccinationhas become the proactivechoice favoured by healthmanagers.
DECIDING TO
VACCINATEIt would, however, be wrong tothink that antibiotics havebecome obsolete inaquaculture, and in certainsituations they do still play animportant role. Noveloccurrences of establishedbacterial pathogens such as A.salmonicida (furunculosis) andMoritella sp. (winter sores)
have, over recent years,necessitated intervention withantibiotic in un-vaccinated fishin spite of vaccines of provenefficacy being available forboth pathogens. The decisionto vaccinate for suchconditions rests with thehealth manager who mustweigh the likelihood ofinfection (and subsequentcosts of reactive treatment)against the costs and benefit ofproactive intervention.
As vaccine technologiesadvance these choices apply toa growing number of bacterialpathogens affecting globalaquaculture. Flavobacteriumpsychrophilum for example,the ubiquity and pathogenicityof which often combine towreak havoc in juvenilesalmonid production, hashitherto been addressedprimarily by antibiotictherapies. Latterly however, thedevelopment of dip vaccines tothis organism is yieldingencouraging results suggestingthat it will, as should allbacterial fish diseases,ultimately be controlledthrough prevention rather thancure.
Antibodies or Antibiotics?A Management DecisionThe successfulmanagement of anyenterprise is largelydetermined by themanager’s ability topredict and plan forthreats as well asopportunities. In thisrespect themanagement andhusbandry of livestockpresents quite specialchallenges, becausebiological systems areinherentlyunpredictable.

Aquaculture is Norway’s second biggest export activity representing anannual export value of 30 billion NOK (€4.1b). In 2006, Nofima looked intothe challenges posed by process-water that would be encountered in thefuture. According to Fyhn-Terjesen, the resulting report was bothinformative and a bit alarming. Data had been gathered about rivers,water-tables, and watershed districts in Norway and consideration wasgiven to EU water directives. The conclusions were clear; if thedevelopment continued at the present rate then water in Norway wouldbecome a scarcity!
Nofima is the government research facility dealing with the completevalue-adding process of aquaculture. This includes the breeding ofsalmon fry and smolt, feed ingredients, harvesting marketing andconsumption. More than 50% of their assignments come from theindustry itself. The remainder is financed by research bureaus and localauthorities. In 2010 a new water recycling department was opened, atthe Research Centre in Sunndalsøra.
“We know a lot about free-flow water but a lot less about processwater that must be cleaned and returned to its original condition before itis reused. However, our new recycling centre will give us much moreknow-how about this challenging area” says Fyhn Terjesen, beforeadding that ideally it would be best to carry out the complete fish-farmingprocess on-shore. “We are concentrating on finding the mostsustainable solution. We need to see the process as a whole: using
other fish for feed, using natural vegetable food such as rape seed andsoya oil, considering the welfare of the fish themselves, etc., the optimalsolution could easily be six of one and half dozen of the other”.
At present, a suggestion is being considered as to whether thepermitted weight of the fish in the initial stage should be increased to 1kilo. If adopted – and it probably will be – it will create a need for largeron-shore facilities and more process water.
Fyhn Terjesen says, “For us as a research institution this will increasethe scope of our involvement. In my opinion such a decision will bringseveral advantages. It is possible that an extension of the initial breedingstage on land or in a closed tank off-shore will reduce the lifetime of liceparasites by a whole generation. The result would be a reduction insalmon mortality. May I also add that an increased smolt size wouldpose lots of existing challenges to the industry itself”.
The recycled water used in the pilot laboratory is reconstituted usingthe recognised Kaldnes TM MBBR process supplied by Kruger Kaldnes asubsidiary of Veolia Water. When asked to comment on the system FyhnTerjesen concludes, “As an independent research institution we wish toavoid recommending specific suppliers of technology. However, if askedabout our experiences we have no problem in answering that so far, weare well satisfied. There has been low maintenance of the bio filter,stable operations plus sufficient capacity for both our needs andrequirements”.
JFC is a globalorganisation renownedfor its innovative, high

experience in the plastic moulding industry,JFC specialises in providing qualityrotationally moulded plastic products. Thecompany’s solutions are used in a range ofindustries including agriculture, equine,construction, materials handling and themarine. It has achieved a leading position inseveral markets by continually developingtrend-setting products that meet and exceedthe needs of its customers.
JFC offers a complete range of MusselFloats, Navigation Buoys, NavigationBeacons, monitoring and control systems tosuit all marine applications. JFC marineproducts are custom-designed to meet yourneeds in the most demanding conditions. Ourmussel floats and navigation buoys havebeen successfully tested off the exposed
Atlantic Coast of Ireland and Scotland. Based on research undertaken with five
experienced mussel growers in Ireland Dr.Bonardelli – a world leading independentshellfish production specialist found thatJFC mussel floats delivered a harvest-readycommercial yield of over 9.2kg per metre for7,200m of socked mussel line.
According to Dr. Bonardelli, “at best,standard floats allow up to 6-7 kg/m butperform poorly with depth and the results,therefore, substantiate the claim that JFCmussel floats can increase commercialyields per meter beyond any previousobservations for socked blue mussels in ashorter time frame.” Dr. Bonardelli believesthat the volume of rope-grown mussels couldexpand in Ireland and overseas, just throughthe selection of JFC ribbed-floats.
According to John Concannon of JFCManufacturing, “the patented stability fin ofthe JFC mussel floats ensures that our floatshave low profiles in the water, causing
limited vertical motion and reduced stresson mussels. Reduced stress means thatmussels can concentrate on growing asopposed to expending their energy on tryingto remain attached to the rope duringturbulent conditions. Therefore, musselsgrown using JFC mussel floats grow faster,have a higher meat quality and are lesssusceptible to losses. All of these factorsculminate in significantly increased yieldsand profitability over a shorter time periodfor the mussel-farmer.”
John Concannon concluded that “JFCmussel floats have the potential to transformthe European rope-mussels industry into atrue world leader and we need the support ofGovernment at local, national and Europeanlevels to convert this potential into reality”.
