Aquaculture for all

The Athens Sessions

Episode 1 Gorjan Nikolik - The Athens Sessions

An exclusive interview with Gorjan Nikolik, senior seafood analyst at Rabobank.

The interview is part of a new series filmed by The Fish Site's team at dsm-firmenich's recent Global Aqua Days event in Athens and in it, Nikolik – one of the world's most respected seafood analysts – offers insights into the performance of the shrimp, salmon and fishmeal sectors so far this year, as well as some predictions for how they are likely to fare in the coming months.

Speaking to The Fish Site's Rob Fletcher, Nikolik's key insights from the year to-date include a look at the reasons behind the year's dramatic drop in salmon prices; thoughts on whether the shrimp sector's slight price recovery can continue in the face of pressures such as Trump's tariffs; and his belief that farmers can look forward to 12 months of relatively affordable fishmeal.

The Fish Site team discusses some of the most pressing issues facing the aquaculture industry – and the innovative ways of tackling these issues – with a selection of the sector’s pre-eminent figures at DSM-Firmenich’s recent Global Aqua Days event in Vienna.

The series of interviews gives a broad range of perspectives – from shrimp farmers looking to improve their production skills; to sectoral trends from leading industry analysts; to the scientists who are working to improve the nutrition, health and welfare of fish and shrimp. Available in video and podcast formats, this is an exclusive opportunity to learn directly from the experts themselves.
