Aquaculture Division
The Aquaculture Division researches issues related to biological conditions for further development of the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
Aquaculture production and in particular salmonid farming, is representing a great asset for Norwegian value creation and is an important contributor to healthy food production. The research group performs research addressing new solutions to challenges related to fish welfare, fish health, product quality, aquaculture – environment interaction, new feed ingredients and production technology.
Sustainable growth of the aquaculture industry requires more knowledge of preventive fish health, new production technology to solve environmental challenges, so that Norwegian-produced seafood is associated with quality, sustainability and high ethical standards.
The aquaculture group's project portfolio extends from basic research, which seeks to understand biological mechanisms - to applied research projects together with the aquaculture industry.
