• Norway's Marine Heatwave: What the Experts Are Seeing

  What does it mean when sea surface temperatures break records before summer even begins? In this week’s episode, we dive into early-season sea lice data and rising ocean temperatures that are already signaling a challenging year for Norwegian salmon farms. From warnings of heat-driven outbreaks to shifting regulations and market pressure, we break down why 2025 could be another pivotal year for fish health strategy. Then, stay tuned for a conversation with oceanographer and Senior Researcher, Dr. Helene Langehaug of the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC), who explains the science behind marine heatwaves, their classifications, and what this year’s climate models are telling us about what’s coming next.For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.

• Veramaris: Ian Carr and Yann Le Gal

  What happens when two global biotech giants team up to tackle one of aquaculture’s biggest bottlenecks? You get Veramaris - a joint venture between DSM and Evonik that’s producing high-potency omega-3s from algae, not fish.In this episode, Tony sits down with Ian Carr and Yann Le Gal from Veramaris to unpack how industrial-scale fermentation could be the key to unlocking more predictable, scalable, and sustainable feed nutrition for the seafood industry.We dive into:Why the supply of EPA and DHA is critical - and maxed out from traditional sourcesHow algae oil offers pricing stability in a volatile marketWhat it took to scale a fermentation plant in NebraskaAnd what new big data from Manolin reveals about omega-3 nutrition and farm performance at scaleWhether you’re a feed miller, farmer, investor, or just trying to make sense of the evolving aquafeed landscape, this is an episode packed with insights on innovation, sustainability, and the future of aquaculture.

• How We Modeled EPA+DHA Impacts on Salmon Farming with Veramaris

  How do you turn millions of noisy farm records into clear, actionable insights that drive real-world change? In this week’s episode, we go behind the scenes of our recent Big Data study with Veramaris, unpacking how Manolin’s advanced techniques—like traced populations and inverse probability weighted regression—are redefining how aquaculture can learn directly from farm operations. Beyond the findings on EPA and DHA feed levels, we explore why better data science is becoming the new competitive edge for salmon farms worldwide.Download the EPA+DHA Study Whitepaper.For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.

• Why Norway Is Ending Biomass Licenses

  This week we break down Norway’s proposed overhaul of its aquaculture licensing system—a seismic shift that could redefine global standards. From scrapping biomass-based licenses to introducing sea lice emission quotas and a mortality tax, the new framework flips traditional input-based regulation on its head. We walk through the 115-page white paper to unpack what this means for farms, investors, and suppliers alike—and why this policy could drive both innovation and industry shakeups.For more aquaculture insights head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.
