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…
Written by: Reidun Lilleholt Kraugerud for the CtrlAQUA Annual Report 2019 An experienced researcher will earn his Doctoral degree based on long term and new in-depth industry research. John Davidson works at the Freshwater Institute, located in West Virginia, USA. During more than twenty years as a researcher there, he has an established track record but…
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…
Sharada Navada is a process engineer from India who, after working a couple of years in the USA and a year in Drammen, has just started her doctoral work at the CtrlAQUA center. She is an employee of Krüger Kaldnes and currently resides in Trondheim where she is doing her PhD at NTNU and Nofima,…
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:…
Written by Reidun Lilleholt Kraugerud for the annual report 2016 of CtrlAQUA. Xiaoxue Zhang is a PhD student at NTNU Nanolab, working on the development of a material to apply to sensors in the water treatment systems. Before her arrival at CtrlAQUA, closed-containment aquaculture was totally new to Zhang but, once she had started, she…
