PJSC Russian Aquaculture | Annual Report 2021
www.russaquaculture.ru
Promoting the importance of aquaculture and the technologies it uses
• Paying special attention to the environmental friendliness
of the production
• Actively cooperating with local farmers and principal companies
in the region, determining common problems and issues
• Initiating and participating in conferences on the importance
and necessity of the aquaculture development
The most probable and serious risks, in terms
of the amount of consequences, for an aquaculture
company are financial and pathogenic risks. First
of all, attention should be paid to the quality of work
with suppliers to exclude disruption of supplies as well
as to perform careful planning and budgeting with regard
to all possible financial market fluctuations and price
increases.
The major threatening risk for the entire commercial
Atlantic salmon cultivation industry is epizootic disease
development. This is the main point to which much
attention is paid in this area. Therefore, every year even
more efficient and at the same time cost-effective disease
control methods are developed. It helps prevent the risk
of diseases and excludes the application of chemicals
which produces less impact on the environment.
The Company is also focused on operational risks.
It is important to comply with the rules and methods
of execution of all production operations and apply
the practices of the leading companies in the industry.
Designing requires special attention which should be
paid to forecasting based on the experience available
as well as on the experience of co-producers, including
foreign counterparts. It is necessary to ensure high-
quality training for the personnel on how to work in fish
cages complexes where high endurance and accuracy
in operations are simultaneously required.
Social, marketing and legal risks may cause less damage
for the company. However, they are more likely to occur
as they are connected with external factors hard
to foresee.
