Stein Johannessen becomes Technical Manager at WellFish Tech
Published
WellFish Tech has appointed a new Technical Manager. Stein Johannessen is joining the company from Benchmark Genetics and will start as Technical Manager. The appointment strengthens the WellFish Tech team, according to information published in iLaks.
Johannessen has extensive experience in fish health and smolt production. Smolt is young salmon that is ready to move from fresh water to the sea, and good smolt production is important for the aquaculture industry in Norway. Fish health is about preventing disease and ensuring that the fish have good welfare in the aquaculture facilities.
The Technical Manager is responsible for the professional development of the company. This means, among other things, that he will work with technology and solutions that can be used in aquaculture. The article does not provide details about which specific projects he will lead first.
Benchmark Genetics is one of the large companies in breeding and genetics for farmed fish. That an experienced professional is moving from such a company to another shows that there is competition for expertise in the seafood farming industry. For many people working in the industry, such changes are part of the daily development of the sector.
