By: Per Haakon Stenhaug at Krüger Kaldnes: telephone +47 415 77 368 The Process Engineer Sharada Navada (30) does not eat fish but has recently completed a PhD in “salinity acclimation strategies for nitrifying bioreactors in recirculation aquaculture systemes”. Her sensational results have already been applied by the aquaculture industry. Normally, the 30-year-old works at the…
New PhD thesis shows that salmon kept in closed-containment fish farms on shore have better welfare in brackish water, and that they can live with higher density in a closed environment than in open sea pens. Atlantic salmon is the most important farmed-fish species in Norway, and the vast majority of the fish are raised…
