Social Responsibility:
The Faroe Islands aquaculture industry was actively involved in supporting the stringent veterinarian legislation which was put into place in 2003 and later became known as the Faroese Veterinarian Act on Aquaculture.
This legislation has ensured the sustainability and thereby prospects for long-term profitability of the Faroese aquaculture industry which today is profitable and a vital contributor to the Faroese economy.
Farmed salmon represents around half of all goods export from the Faroe Islands.
The aquaculture industry in the Faroe Islands also provides valuable jobs to remote rural communities.
