Salmon Crisis in Chile
Sanitary Crisis 2007-‐2009 Growth
Lack of coordina1on
Intensive use of resources
Low Sanitary investment
Bio-‐security
§ Growth: High rates of growth without a suitable sanitary and produc1ve planning. Industry grew at a CAGR of 40% in the period 1994 -‐ 2007. § Intensive use of resources: Excessive pressure on the fresh water systems (rivers and lakes) and certain sectors of the sea, especially the zones of Chiloé Central in the X region and Melinca in the XI region. § Increase of facili1es by geographic area § Increase of size of the facili1es § Con1nuous produc1on without rest periods between produc1ve cycles (as much in fresh water as water of sea) § Lack of coordina1on: between producing companies (treatments, use of concessions, etc.) § Low Sanitary investment: in assets that guarantee high standard of bio-‐security, like: hatcheries of complete cycle, ports, closed wellboats, silos for mortality treatment, plants of storing, systems of disinfec1on, etc. § Bio-‐security: Lack of rigorous regula1ons and prac1ces by Sernapesca and private companies (import of eggs) Document control number

§ Efficient u1liza1on of installed capacity and labor at processing plants calls for con1nuous produc1on throughout the year. § Implementa1on of neighborhood system will limit companies ability for year-‐round harvest scheduling. § Only companies with produc1on diversified in more than 9 neighborhoods will be able to operate con1nuously. § Most neighborhoods are shared by several companies, and therefore not all neighborhoods will go into opera1on when a given company so requires, which calls for presence in an increasing number of neighborhoods.
