CEOs of the global farmed salmon industry will launch on Thursday (August 15) a major industry-led sustainability initiative,

The Global Salmon Initiative (GSI) will unite 15 global key farmed salmon producers.

The GSI companies are committed to greater industry co-operation and transparency, in order to achieve significant and continuous progress in sustainability within the farmed salmon industry.

About 60% of the world's salmon production currently comes from farms and the industry currently faces twin challenges: firstly, the need for expansion and growth in line with the growing demand for protein from a rapidly expanding global population and secondly the challenge of concerns from environmentalists about the impact of salmon farms and local concerns about the impact on wild fish numbers.
