Sustainability
Norwegian Aquaculture Act regulates some aspects related to how Norwegian fish farming interacts with the environment. The act specifies that aquaculture is to be established, conducted and closed down in an environmentally-responsible manner. Aquaculture is supervised by several authorities, such as the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries, the Norwegian Coastal Administration, the County Governor and the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate. Stringent measures certify environmental, ecological, animal welfare, food safety and HSE criteria.

Why Norwegian Salmon
With a coastal line that measures more than 25 000 km Norway has clear, cold waters with ideal conditions for farming and these waters hosts the species that Star Seafood harvest and exports into the global market.
Salmon Feed
To grow one kilo of salmon it requires 1-1,2 kg designated high quality and sustainable feed.
Norwegian Salmon feed consists of fish oil, and fish meal, vegetable oil, vegetable substances as well as proteins and carbohydrates. The marine ingredients derive solely from regulated fisheries. Today approx. 70 per cent of fish feed derives from vegetable sources (grain, vegetable substances, etc.); the rest comes from marine resources (fish oil, fish meal). This contributes to Norway’s very good environmental status, as an effective and innovative part of the food chain. Compared to other large and important food-industries, the feed conversion rate is the very best.
A typical composition of the feed is:
50% proteins/carbohydrates of vegetable raw-material
20% vegetable oil
10% fish oil
17% fish meal
3% others (pigment, vitamins etc.)
Food Safety
Norwegian salmon, raised in the cold, clear waters of Norway, is safe and healthy. Norwegian waters are unique in regards of low risk of environmental pollution. Further, Norwegian salmon are constantly monitored and strictly controlled. Each year 12,000 Norwegian salmon, which are ready for export, are randomly inspected by the independent National Institute for Nutrition and Seafood (NIFES).
The national survey has all these years confirmed the absence of undesirables in the farmed Norwegian salmon and trout.
All our harvest facilities are HACCP approved. The food safety programmes are yearly approved by our Government. Third part audits and customers audits confirm the high level of food safety.
Star Seafood has routines to follow up our suppliers, to ensure that their routines and practices secure safe food.
Our vision
The unique combination of our expertise and innovative strategies ensures that we will be a major market player in the future. Star Seafood shall be a strategic and reliable partner for both our suppliers and customers. Our human capital proves the strongest when we share values and knowledge with our partners.
