Then, we will have a discussion take place between executives from Atlantic Sapphire/Platina Seafood, Blumar, Cermaq Group, Milarex and Santa Monica Seafood. Arild Akre and Daniel Montoya, sales directors of Cermaq and Blumar, respectively, will give the perspective of major salmon suppliers on how the global COVID-19 outbreak is impacting their businesses. Thomas Farstad, CEO of Milarex, will provide a viewpoint from one of the largest salmon processors in Europe.
