Bright Future for Fisheries Science: University of Akureyri Students Visit with Passion and Talent!
16. október 2024
Promising talents from the interdisciplinary Fisheries Science program explore industry operations and opportunities during an inspiring visit.

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting a great group of students from the Fisheries Science program at the University of Akureyri! We started the day with coffee and kleinur, followed by a presentation on the company’s operations and a site tour of the workplace.
Fisheries Science at the University of Akureyri is an interdisciplinary program that has been taught since 1990, and many of its graduates have achieved significant success in the field, both domestically and internationally.
It was truly a delight to welcome this group and witness their passion and enthusiasm – the future looks incredibly bright with such talented individuals entering the industry!

We welcome Daði Tryggvason to our team as the new Project Manager and Head of DNG Jigging Reels. Daði brings extensive and practical experience from both the fishing industry and public administration, which will serve him well in this new role. He holds a BSc degree in Fisheries Science from the University of Akureyri and has worked for over two decades on a wide range of projects within the sector. This includes many years at sea, both on trawlers and jigging boats equipped with DNG jigging reels. First-hand user experience with the company’s equipment is invaluable — particularly when it comes to product development and customer service. In addition to his time at sea, Daði has worked in aquaculture and most recently as a fisheries specialist at the Directorate of Fisheries, where he was responsible for quota allocations, licensing (including ICCAT and CITES), and customer relations. We look forward to the collaboration and are confident that Daði’s experience and insight will support the continued development of DNG Jigging Reels. https://www.slippurinndng.is/faeravindur

Við bjóðum Daða Tryggvason velkominn til liðs við okkur sem nýjan verkefnastjóra og yfirmann DNG Færavinda. Daði kemur með víðtæka og hagnýta reynslu úr sjávarútvegi og opinberri stjórnsýslu, sem mun nýtast vel í hans nýja hlutverki. Hann er með BSc gráðu í sjávarútvegsfræði frá Háskólanum á Akureyri og hefur starfað í yfir tvo áratugi við fjölbreytt verkefni innan greinarinnar. Þar á meðal má nefna áralanga sjómennsku bæði á togurum og handfærabátum, sem voru búnir færavindum frá DNG. Sú þekking sem fylgir beinni notendareynslu af búnaði fyrirtækisins er dýrmæt, sérstaklega þegar kemur að vöruþróun og þjónustu við viðskiptavini. Auk þess hefur Daði starfað í fiskeldi og síðast sem sérfræðingur í fiskveiðum hjá Fiskistofu, þar sem hann sinnti meðal annars úthlutun kvóta, leyfisveitingum (þar á meðal ICCAT og CITES) og viðskiptatengslum. Við hlökkum til samstarfsins og trúum því að reynsla og innsýn Daða styrki áframhaldandi þróun DNG Færavinda. https://www.slippurinndng.is/faeravindur
