Short description of research profile
The Aquaculture Division addresses various biological issues, contributing to a more sustainable and diverse development of the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
Aquaculture production represents a great asset for Norwegian value creation and is an important contributor to safe and healthy food production. The research group performs fundamental- as well as applied research (together with the industry), addressing new solutions to challenges related to the following research focus areas:
- Fish nutrition
- New feed ingredients and production technology
- Fish health and welfare
- Aquaculture – Environment interaction
- Seafood quality
