Audience from all over the world are virtually welcome to the aquaculture town of Sunndalsøra and the webinar «Smolt production in the future» 21 October. “This year we are hosting a webinar due to the covid-19 situation instead of our traditional conference. But we hope you are able to join us!”, says webinar’s scientific coordinator…
330 participants from 10 countries joined the fifth conference on recirculation in aquaculture at Sunndalsøra at the CtrlAQUA and Nofima headquarters. The most recent knowledge on how to best produce large salmon smolt in closed containment systems with recirculation technology was presented, including 17 presentations related to CtrlAQUA. “There is a high degree of innovation…
In its third 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. In this annual report you can also read interviews with two industry actors at the centre…
One of the main issues with closed-containment systems is that they incur higher investment costs than traditional rearing technologies, which implies higher production intensity. It is important to research whether salmon post-smolts can perform equally well, or even better, in these closed systems compared with open cages. That’s what Ingrid Gamlem’s master’s degree is about:…
