SCOTLAND - Professor James Fraser Muir passes [Published Aquafeed - May 07 2013]

"In our view, no other industrial combination than Cermaq and Marine Harvest is better suited to lift both the companies and the Norwegian marine industry into a position of global leadership. We will maintain all significant parts of the companies in a strong, world class company; offering an integrated value chain from feed to retail sales. We believe a company such as this should be built not through increased exposure towards fisheries and the raw materials markets, where fish meal is being phased out as the base of marine feed. Instead, we wish to build an integrated protein company emphasizing feed, farming and value-added processing; moving away from the traditional raw materials role of Norwegian companies. Thus, we have made the offer conditional on the annual general meeting of Cermaq declining to issue the shares required to carry out the Copeinca transaction" , said chairman Ole-Eirik Lerøy of Marine Harvest. Marine Harvest will itself vote against the Cermaq share issues with its shares
