NOR-FISHING '86

Trondheim, Norway, August 11-16

Nor-Fishing '86, the 11th Interna- tional Fishery Fair to be held in

Trondheim, Norway, August 11-16, has been fully booked, with the

Nidaro Exhibition Hall filled to its maximum capacity, despite a space increase of 30 percent over 1984.

Thus, this year's Nor-Fishing exhi- bition will be the biggest ever held.

Approximately 260 exhibitors from 15 countries will be showing the products and services of about 400 manufacturers from 20 coun- tries. The countries represented by exhibitors are Austria, Denmark,

East Germany, Finland, Great Brit- ain, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands,

Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain,

Sweden, United States, and West

Germany.

It is expected that Norway's new

Ministry of Fisheries, Bjarne

Mork Eidem, will open the fair, which has been organized by the

Royal Norwegian Ministry of Fish- eries/Directorate of Fisheries, in co- operation with the Norwegian

Trade Fair Foundation.

Through the years, Nor-Fishing has gained a reputation as one of the world's leading fishery fairs, with a pronounced international profile.

Among the exhibitors, there is a particularly large contingent from the Nordic countries; prominent among these is Denmark with a national joint stand for 16 exhib- itors.

Nor-Fishing attracts expertise from every corner of the world; for the six days in August, it will be the hub of international fishery activi- ties. This applies particularly to the concurrent seminars, which in 1984 attracted delegates from 17 coun- tries. The principal themes for this year's seminars are biotechnology applied to the utilization of marine resources, and the potential for minced fish and fish meal. In 1984,

Nor-Fishing was visited by nearly 23,000 fishery specialists from 40 countries.

High-Technology

Equipment

Over the years, the world fishery industry has learned to make full and efficient use of technological advances. This year, Nor-Fishing will introduce a wide range of new technology, particularly electronic innovations in the fields of weigh- ing, reception systems, filleting and packaging, refrigeration, and deep- freezing. Advanced navigation equipment, communications and warning systems, automated equip- ment for trawlers, and the world's biggest trawl door will be on view at the fair. New equipment for fish farming and lifesaving will also be exhibited.

The organizers have endeavored as far as possible to group exhibitors by products. For example, the whole of Hall E in the Nidaro complex is devoted to maritime electronics, and most exhibitors of engines, fish processing, and refrigeration have been grouped in Hall F. An exten- sive range of fishing gear and equip- ment will be on display, and the packaging, transport, and storage side are also represented. Other ex- hibitors include shipyards, boat- builders, and manufacturers of deck equipment, cranes and fittings, ac- commodations, cleaning services, etc.

Topical Seminars

As in previous years, the seminars will occupy two days, August 13-14, concurrent with the exhibition. This year the focus will be on processing technology, a topic that has been given much attention lately, involv- ing both research and industrial as- pects.

The seminar committee, headed by chairman Ole Johan Ostvedt, head of research at the Norwegian

Fisheries Directorate Marine Re- search Institute, will again bring the world's foremost fishery expertise to

Trondheim. Responsible for the seminars are the organizers of Nor-

Fishing '86—the Royal Norwegian

Ministry of Fisheries/Directorate of

Fisheries, in cooperation with the

Norwegian Trade Fair Foundation.

The first day of the seminar,

Wednesday August 13, will be de- voted to biotechnology, and will be chaired by Prof. Jan Raa of the

University of Tromso. This session will discuss potentials and methods for the utilization of marine re- sources. Research within biotechno- logy opens significant perspectives for the Norwegian fishing industry.

This applies particularly to the pro- cessing sector, which can lead to the rapid development of completely new fish products. Furthermore, valuable biochemicals aimed at en- tirely different markets other than the traditional ones can be obtained from fish—processes that may very well lead to a complete readjust- ment within the Norwegian pro- cessing industry.

The seminar will be opened by

Prof. Viggo Mohr of the Institute for Biotechnology, Norwegian Insti- tute of Technology in Trondheim.

He will be followed by research director Eirik Nestaas from the

U.S., who will discuss the competi- tive situation and perspectives in relation to biochemicals obtained from marine raw materials.

Then Karl A. Almas of the

Institute of Fishery Technology Re- search in Tromso will cover the pro- duction of biochemicals from fish and fish oil. Finally, biotechnology and the herring meal industry will be discussed by Dr. Agnar Mjelde and director Nils Urdahl, both of the Herring Oil and Herring Meal

Industry Research Institute in

Bergen.

The August 14 session will be chaired by secretary general Finn

Bergesen Jr. of the Norwegian

Fishermen's Association. The sub- ject of the day will be product devel- opment and marketing of minced fish and fish meal. Increased costs and competition from other food and feed products have lead to in- creasingly stringent demands on the fishing industry for the more effi- cient use of fish. Research in fisher- ies technology on the development of new products from minced fish and fish meal is therefore given high priority.

The session will begin with di rec- tor Ole Enger of Norsildmel in

Bergen, who will focus on foodstuff opportunities for the fish meal and fish oil industry. Traditional prod- ucts for minced fish will be covered by Jette Nielsen of the Danish

Ministry of Fisheries Research Lab- oratory in Lyngby.

New surimi-based products from minced fish will be covered by Rag- ni Ofstad of the Institute of Fish- eries Technology in Tromso. The last presentation of the day will be given by research director Jo- hannes Opstvedt and researcher

Eyolf Langmyhr of the Herring

Oil and Herring Meal Industry's Re- search Institute in Bergen.

Both seminars will allow an hour's panel discussion at the end of each day. Due to the wide international attention given to the Nor-Fishing seminars, there will be simultaneous translation into English. During the previous seminars in 1984, 17 differ- ent nations were represented on the list of delegates. The organizers are estimating the number of delegates to be in the range of 300-400 this year.
