Written by Andreas R. Graven, Uni Research Less stressed fish as well as shorter production periods, make salmon farming more efficient and profitable, new experiments suggest. The new experiments are led by Uni Research in CtrlAQUA, and indicates som of the advantages of using CCS and SCCS facilities. How farmed fish handles stress and adapt to changes…
This text was first published at Steve Summerfelt’s LinkedIn profile 14 April 2016. CtrlAQUA is a center for researched-based innovation working to develop technological and biological solutions for producing larger Atlantic salmon, primarily post-smolt at sizes up to 1000 g (2.2 pound). The center seeks to find ways to make closed-containment aquaculture systems a reliable…
This annual report covers activities during the first nine months of the center. In 2015, 14 projects were initiated in CtrlAQUA, whereas for 2016 a portfolio of 18 projects was approved by the Board. In this report, we present summaries of the research in each of the projects in 2015. Annual report 2015 (for web…
Ambitions are high, funding is available and the technology is well on the way when it comes to closed-containment aquaculture systems. This means that the road from research to implementation may be very short. This is what tempted two international scientists to move to Sunndalsøra in Møre og Romsdal, to be involved in developing the…

Four Norwegian research institutions, two outside of Norway and several industry partners from technology and the aquaculture industry have now started operations at a centre for innovation in closed-containment systems. The centre, CtrlAQUA, has been given NOK 200 million and eight years to reach its own ambition to make closed-containment systems for salmon up to…
Nofima is one of 17 institutions chosen recently to become hosts for Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFI). The centre is to contribute to solving some of the main challenges facing the aquaculture industry, such as lice and mortality. Innovations It is to lay the foundation for the development of closed-containment concepts of the future. With…
