High diversification!!!
Mainly freshwater
fishes
Main aquaculture species in Brazil
Growth and diversification potential
• 8000 Km of marine
coast - 4.3 million
km² of Economical
Exclusive Zone
• Estuarine areas (2.5
million hectares)
• 12% of total world
fresh water
• 219 hydroelectric
reservoirs with 3.14
million hectares of
water

• Number of formal graduate
courses increased
• Most courses concentrated
in southern / northeast states
• Few institutions in northern
and midwestern regions,
where aquaculture growth
has taken place in recent
years
• Mutual interest for BRA-
NOR R&D exchange and
capacity building Elaborated: Weber (2016)
Challenges
Technology, expertise and R&D institutions

Policies, government and industry
• Complex legislation
• Environmental agencies
exercise pressures that
inhibit/restrict production
• Lack of long-term policies have
restricted investments
• Technology required to develop
new species and improve
farming operations – takes time,
can business wait?
• NOR expertise in aquaculture
planning and policies
• Concerns and restrictions:
Source: MPA
• BRA re-think production
systems - face production risk
• NOR: RAS - Recirculation
Aquaculture Systems/
automation/equipments
• IMTA: Multitrophic culture
(integration of seaweed,
bivalves and fish)
• Disease control and
biosecurity to support
sustainability? – NOR
knowhow and experience
• BRA Production systems can benefit from NOR experience?

Policies, government and industry
Brazilian-Norwegian cooperation
• 2009: Aquanor (Trondheim, Norway) – MPA mission;
• 2010: Aquapesca (Itajaí, Brazil) – MoU Embrapa and Nofima;
• 2011: WAS Conference (Natal-RN, Brazil) - Aquanor (Trondheim,
Norway): Embrapa/Nofima joint research proposal for Tambaqui;
• 2014: Nofima submitted “Tambaqui Case” proposal to
LATINAMERIKA call – Norwegian Research Council – not approved;
• 2016: EAS Conference (Edinburgh-UK) – Nofima restarted talks with
Embrapa;
• 2017: Talks with SINTEF and Nofima: invitation participate in a
research consortium to apply Horizon 2020 Blue Growth call 2018-
2019.
• Huge aquatic biodiversity still to be investigated to
develop aquaculture potential in BRAzil
• Tilapia and shrimp in BRAzil is enabling aquaculture
diversification and attracting new investors
• Marine fish farming is almost inexistent: All BRAzilian
coast available for industry development - NOR industry
interest?, No?, Why?
• NOR Aqua feed industry can benefit from BRAzilian crops
and other feedstuffs and ingredients
Brazilian-Norwegian potential for
cooperation
• NORwegian aquaculture technology can be apllied to
Brazil main aquaculture industry – tilapia;
• Tilapia and tambaqui BRAzilian farmers may be potential
NORwegian partners in aquaculture diversification to
develop brazilian marine fishfarming;
• Encourage investment and technology transfer for
aquaculture development, great opportunities for
NORwegian industry suppliers;
• Innovation Norway, NRC and FINEP call for R&D projects
in aquaculture (including mobility): set as a priority
Brazilian-Norwegian potential for
cooperation
