The Athens Sessions

Episode 2 Siri Johnsen - The Athens Sessions

An exclusive interview with Siri Johnsen, managing director at G.O. Johnsen.

Johnsen – whose family has been supplying synthetic astaxanthin to the aquaculture industry since the 1970s – discusses the benefits of the carotenoid compound with The Fish Site's Moritz Mueller.

As Johnsen explains to The Fish Site, while often perceived by consumers as a purely cosmetic additive, astaxanthin is far more than a pigment – it is essential for fish health, performance and reproduction.

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.
