“…Second step: Complexity analysis of the system's structure. By reviewing the NSVC's structure [24,28,[84][85][86], we identified certain structural, dynamic, and sociopolitical elements in the system that might add to or reduce its level of complexity in relation to SDG integration (see Table 5). Second step: Complexity analysis of the system's structure.…”

This study proposes a conceptual framework that aims to gain insight into the integration of the sustainable development goals (SDG) within the Norwegian salmon value chain (NSVC). The proposed framework was developed by applying the systems engineering six-step method and validated through empirical findings from the NSVC. The framework’s application highlighted and analyzed the presence of the SDGs in corporate sustainability reports, academic curriculum, research, and governmental policies. This study uncovered the complexity-reduction elements within the system that drive SDG integration and assure their progress. The SDGs provide a global context for sustainability endeavors in the NSVC. A globally expanded value chain has an organic relationship with global sustainability terms and schemes. The existing practice of corporate sustainability annual reporting was found to be a significant channel for SDG communication. The novelty of this study was that it proposed a mind-map to understand SDG integration within an industrial value chain abstracted into three concepts: commitment, communication, and performance measurability.

“…Hence, trade data reflect the industry's performance well. Norway has a diverse seafood sector with a significant aquaculture industry, groundfish and pelagic fisheries (Cojocaru et al, 2019;Asche et al, 2020) and trade a wide variety of product forms to a large number of countries (Straume et al, 2020a;Cojocaru et al, 2021). The export sector consists of a large number of export companies with different degrees of product and market specialization, where some products are highly dependent on a few companies and markets, while others are well diversified and potentially much more flexible in responding to market shocks (Oglend and Straume, 2019;Straume et al, 2020b;Asche et al, 2021;Oglend et al, 2022).…”

A rapidly growing literature shows that COVID-19 and the measures to contain the spread of the virus can have significant market impacts for seafood. These can be interruptions of production, or reductions in demand directly or indirectly due to supply chain challenges. In this paper we investigate the potential impacts of COVID-19 on seafood exports from Norway, the world's second largest seafood exporter, using highly detailed data from 2016 through May 2021. These data allow us to assess upstream impacts in the seafood supply chain close to the producer level in aggregate and by main sector, impacts on the largest products, and the extent to which export firm structure and export markets served have changed. We find very few impacts in aggregate as well as for individual products, suggesting that the markets and supply chains used by Norwegian seafood exports were sufficiently robust and flexible to accommodate the shocks created by COVID-19. Given Norway's size as a seafood exporter, the impact of COVID-19 has likely been moderate upstreams for a number of seafood sectors around the world, especially those in wealthy nations, with opportunities balancing out challenges, and that the supply chains have been highly resilient.

“…Norwegian salmon exports are of more general interest as it can be regarded as a bellwether of the broader effects of Covid restrictions on the international seafood trade. Norway is the largest salmon producer worldwide ( Iversen et al, 2020 ), salmon is the second largest aquaculture species by value ( Garlock et al, 2020a , Garlock et al, 2020b ), and salmon is among the most traded fish species with the most advanced logistics ( Kumar and Engle, 2016 ; Asche and Smith, 2018 ; Cojocaru et al, 2021 ; Gephart et al, 2021 ). Norway exports >95% of its salmon production, with firms tending to focus on a few markets or regions ( Gaasland et al, 2020 ; Oglend et al, 2022 ) and a significant share is processed further after leaving Norway ( Asche et al, 2018 ; Asche et al, 2022a , Asche et al, 2022b ).…”
