Environmental Challenges

  • New center drain design weakness resulted in March 23 mortality event.
  • Splitting of growout systems increased financial impact of March 23 mortality event.
  • Internal chiller plant breakdown caused temporary temperature instability and increased costs.
  • Drum filter area, ozone, and protein skimmers not fully commissioned reduced Q1 2021 feeding and growth.
  • Batch 1 maturation resulted in reduced growth, high FCR, and lower price achievement.
  • Construction and commissioning-related issues caused suboptimal conditions, reduced growth, and increased cost in Q1 2021.
Mitigation Strategies
  • New center drains will be gradually installed over the next 2-3 months.
  • Splitting of growout systems is being completed.
  • Internal chiller plant will be electrified by Q2 2021.
  • Drum filter area, ozone, and protein skimmers will be fully commissioned by Q2 2021.

Environmental Challenges

  • Risk of mortality events
  • Breakdown of the chiller plant (“PEC”) in Q1 2021
  • Underutilized capacity
Mitigation Strategies
  • All growout systems split in two, limiting individual incidents from six to three tanks
  • Center drains modified throughout the facility, reducing the risk of initial smaller mortality disrupting the flow of new water into the tanks
  • Key water quality parameters adjusted after a thorough vetting process, significantly reducing H2S toxicity and CO2 levels in the water
  • Organizational restructuring with higher amount of staffing outside regular working hours
  • The Facilities Operation Advisory Board (the “FOAB”) vetting activities outside standard operating procedures
  • Additions and fine tuning of automation systems, including operational dashboards
  • USD11.0m in temporary chiller and generator rental costs

Environmental Challenges

  • Production negatively impacted by higher-than-normal mortality requiring feeding and production to be put on hold while work was ongoing.
  • Average price achievement in H2 2022 was reduced by a high share of small fish harvested, tied to biological challenges where fish growth was slower and harvest weights lower.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Significant infrastructure improvements, including major biofilter upgrades and new water chiller system to ensure safe production environment.
  • Focus on heavy infrastructure upgrades and operational improvements.
