Furthermore, available evidence suggests that investors in the harvesting sector are likely to withhold investments when secure and enforceable user rights are not present (see Box 2.7 for a risk assessment note by Aker Seafoods for a share offering prospectus). The extent of the fish and shrimp resources exploited by the Company is monitored by the Norwegian government. Current research causes the Group to believe that fish and shrimp resources in the foreseeable future will be sufficient for the Company to realise its objectives. Fluctuations in the fish and shrimp resource in areas in which the Company operates can adversely affect its profitability, and cannot be predicted or foreseen.
