These concerns date from between 2018 and the present, and they pertain to events or conditions on land or at sea.

I emailed you on February 2, 2026, regarding ongoing investigation into aquaculture and the global fishmeal and fish oil industry. We have additional information which we wanted to bring to your attention for Skretting’s comment or clarification.

I am forwarding my media query to your office as I received an out-of-office response when I sent it to Skretting's Communications Director, Jorge Diaz Salinas.

If Skretting has any comment or clarification to make, please respond by April 6, 2026, noting that all interactions remain in writing and on record.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Jorge Diaz, Sustainability and Communications Director

Apologies for my delayed response as I'm still catching up with my emails after being off. I looked through my emails and don't see the one you refer to on 2nd February, so apologies for not responding to that.

I can confirm that we will provide you with a statement for this case and the one about Peru that I got through Nutreco (I don't have that in my email either). However, as I'm just picking it up I wonder if you would be able to give me some days (not more than Monday 13th to allow us to get in touch with our suppliers and prepare the response.

The Outlaw Ocean Project

Thanks for your email and for that update. My email of March 30 was sent in the same thread as that of Feb 2, but do let me know if you need me to re-send you the Feb 2 query.

The extension to April 13 is fine.

Jorge Diaz, Sustainability and Communications Director

I got the thread from the thread on this email so all good. And also got from Nutreco the one about Gisis in Ecuador. Are those the three emails/references you have related to Skretting?

The Outlaw Ocean Project

Great, thanks Jorge. There were two emails regarding Skretting (Feb 2 and March 30), and two to Nutreco about Gisis (those were dated February 10 and April 1).

Jorge Diaz, Sustainability and Communications Director

Clear, then I'm on top of everything.

Jorge Diaz, Sustainability and Communications Director

I'm almost ready to send you our response, but I need a final validation and that should be ready tomorrow. Apologies for the delay.
