Temperature
Climate change and a subsequent increase in water temperature may create operational issues for Salmon farming, and poses a significant risk for the health and welfare of farmed fish if mitigation measures are not in place. This in turn may negatively impact our volume of stock, and ability to take stock to market.
To put this predicted sea temperature rise into an operational perspective, Tassal works with an annual fluctuation in temperature of over 10°C. We have developed mitigation strategies and contingencies to cope with daily temperature fluctuation, temperature variation between farming zones and vertical temperature stratification within the water column.
