Richard Prickett was appointed in consultancy capacity to advise on various aspects of marine finfish aquaculture. His career in marine finfish aquaculture has spanned over 35 years. He has worked for several companies including Golden Sea Produce Ltd (later Norsk Hydro) in Scotland, Shearwater Fish Farming Ltd (BOC and later Seafarm AS) in the Isle of Man and Europe and the Oslo listed company Marine Farms ASA of Bergen. More recently he set up his own consultancy company, RSP Services Ltd.
According to Seafish Prickett’s expertise is mostly in the technical, financial and managerial aspects of hatchery and in the ongoing production of a variety of marine species such as turbot, sole, southern flounder, sea bass, sea bream, cod, snapper and cobia. Dr Paul Williams, Research Director at Seafish, told that his appointment will enable us to build our knowledge in a variety of aspects of the aquaculture sector.
Williams also said that Seafish has restructured its aquaculture team following the departure of Sue Utting at the end of last year. Richard’s considerable experience and close ties with the supply and production industries will help us respond to developments in this growing sector of the seafood industry.
