Raising large salmon smolt in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is pioneering work. Therefore, fish farmers have requested research on how different production strategies for large smolt in RAS affect growth, survival rates, welfare and sexual maturity during the sea phase. Scientists Trine Ytrestøyl from Nofima and Tom Ole Nilsen from the University of Bergen are…
Nofima scientists studied the effect of LED light on salmon performance in closed-containment recirculated aquaculture systems. So far, the existing lighting conditions for salmon in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) appear to be safe in terms of growth and mortality rates. “However, we still know little about how the light affects salmon physiology and how they…
Even before the results of the CtrlAQUA project about optimal production regimes appeared in any report, Grieg Seafood was implementing the knowledge at its RAS facilities in Canada. Written by: Reidun Lilleholt Kraugerud for the CtrlAQUA Annual Report 2019 ”This knowledge from the CtrlAQUA project concerns which light regimes and water qualities provide the best…
