The objective of this work is to discuss Iceland's fishing and fish farming industries and approach the challenges there are and report on what has been done to meet those challenges. The main focus of this work will be on creating roadmaps for the supply chain of cod and the supply chain of salmon and arctic char and identify the obstacles these industries have faced. From fishing/farming to the consumer. This roadmap will show how and where increased value can be made using real examples from Iceland, shed light on critical factors affecting the quality and highlight the obstacles hindering further growth and development. Aquaculture offers growing economic possibilities for the Arctic region. This report wants to raise awareness of various possibilities for the development of the industry. As global demand for fish products is growing globally, the Arctic region has good possibilities to develop and produce sustainable high value-added products.
