REFERANSER

  • “I see a clear trend in taking better care of our resources and we believe in 100% exploiting of our fish. As the owner of fish live storage facilities and a fish buyer I support the method of catching fish with traps due to better quality and less harm to the fish. This means we can pay better price to the fisherman but also get much better price from the market. In 2020 we will offer NOK 10 extra per kg of cod delivered to us alive. We support Innomar and expect to see an increased interest from coastal fishermen to use fish traps to catch and deliver alive top- quality fish, and benefit from the premium price we offer."

    Andre Reinholdsen - Owner Myre Havbruk, Vesterålen – Norway

  • “I will support the method of fishing with traps before gill nets, as the catch will be of better quality and the method would set less environmental footprint. As a fisherman in Norway we also have incentives for delivering live catch. This would give us quota bonus of 30-50%.“

    Ståle Martinsen - Fisherman Tromsø - Norway

  • «All fishermen's dream is to achieve a sustainable fishery without environmental consequences. Compared to gillnets and longlines, use of traps is the most sustainable method of today taking quality, fish health, and HSE into account. By developing the trap method with new technology you can know exactly when to retrieve the catch. If we combine this with the use of artificial bait, this would have a positive impact when we see the world has scarcity of proteins for human consumption. As a fisherman, you have to strive for the UN sustainability goals so that we can harvest from the oceans for generations ahead.»
