Innovation & Investment
Following earlier work in southwestern Norway that achieved semi-commercial production of European lobsters, a project has received grant support to develop commercialized land-based recirculating aquaculture of lobsters utilizing geothermal water sources in Iceland.
Health & Welfare
Smolt production in Norwegian hatcheries will likely increase during the next decade to answer salmon grow-out needs. Farmers are converting existing flow-through systems to partially or fully incorporate recirculation technologies.
Health & Welfare
The Fjordsmolt RAS farm applies a relatively simple, low-cost design to produce millions of salmon smolts per year in fiberglass tanks.
Health & Welfare
A new scalable modular concept for lobster culture developed in Norway relies on automation to perform most production procedures.
Intelligence
While stable production of juveniles remains an issue for halibut farming in Norway, advances such as diets to replace live artemia are improving the industry.
Innovation & Investment
An intensive-culture recirculation system for farming European lobsters has been developed, with a pilot installation in Norway.
