On his shelves he has two patents, and in his head he has ambitions. The patents were the brainchild of his former colleague, Frank Karlsen,…
Written by Reidun Lilleholt Kraugerud for the annual report 2016 of CtrlAQUA. Bremnes Seashore is building recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for smolt on land. This is part of a long-term strategy based on a detailed assessment of the future production of salmon with little sea lice. “We have tested many options but are now focussing…
Written by Reidun Lilleholt Kraugerud for the annual report 2016 of CtrlAQUA. The first company out as an SFI partner is Botngaard AS from Bjugn. They joined CtrlAQUA in 2016. When they were established in 2009, they supplied delousing tarpaulins for fish farming facilities. Since 2010, they have taken the next step and developed a…
In its second year, scientists, farmers and technology suppliers at the CtrlAQUA Centre have researched and acquired new knowledge about farming in closed-containment aquaculture systems. Such knowledge will contribute to the Centre’s ambition to make closed systems off-the-shelf products.

For Norway to be the best at closed-containment aquaculture systems (CCS) for salmon, we need knowledge from the best of the best. Norway’s researchers are now working with leading Japanese and North American researchers. Research on salmon’s needs is the key to creating sustainable production in CCS. This can reduce problems with sea lice and…
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…
