conservateurs
I think that this refers to a product that prevents the salmon from rotting, moulding, fouling. Usually the term is preservatives in English.

INTERLUX\'S ANTIFOULING RANGE PROVIDES PROTECTION FROM THE THREE KEY ANTIFOULING CHALLENGES:
ANIMAL: Animal fouling, such as barnacles, release millions of microscopic barnacle larvae into the water. These larvae need to attach to a static object to allow them to feed. Most boats remain static for 90% of their time afloat, and offer perfect feeding grounds for all types of fouling.
WEED: Static objects attract common seaweeds, many of which will simply fall off as the hull travels through the water. However, some, such as Brown Weed, are more resilient and can withstand high speeds through the water.
SLIME: Slime is another major form of fouling. Slime is caused by billions of single celled algae which produce a syrupy medium in which to settle. Once established they provide settling ground for more algae, so coatings of slime can grow quite thickly as they are not detached as they move through the water.
