Salmon and Rainbow Trout – Unambiguous Terminology and Methods for Documentation.

A newly reviewed standard providing unambigous terminology and metods for documentation and analysis in salmonid aquaculture.

Who is This Standard For?

The standard should be used by authorities, suppliers, and all actors in the value chain who benefit from comparable data and consistent terminology, regardless of the type of aquaculture.

Key applications include:

  • Monitoring on site, company, regional, and national levels
  • Reporting on site, company, regional, and national levels
  • For calculations, conversions and descriptions
  • Essential nomenclature and terms for consistent use throughout the entire value chain

Accurate descriptions are essential for all trade in goods and services. Unified terminology reduces the risk of misinterpretation and streamlines communication across the entire value chain

About the Standard

The standard NS 9417 Salmon and Rainbow Trout – Unified Terminology and Methods for Production Documentation provides key definitions in the aquaculture value chain (terminology). 

Subjects like calculations, conversions, and description of selected methods for measurements documenting production in phases such as hatchery, juvenile fish, grow-out fish, slaughter, processing, and transport.

The standard described optimal depths for environmental sampling (temperature, oxygen and salinity) for situational awareness. 

Fish feed and economics are also included in the standard. NS 9417 forms the basis for consistent data registration across different facilities and the use of standardised terminology throughout the value chain.
