Nofima is about to start a new project involving research on freezing methods. The purpose is to ensure that the fishing industry gains a regular supply of raw materials thereby forming a better foundation regarding year-round jobs.

Norwegian fisheries provide significant value creation. Analyses indicate that the fishing industry generated a net value creation of NOK 22.7 billion in 2019. Of this, NOK 16.6 billion was created directly from fisheries, while NOK 6.1 billion comes from ripple effects in the supply industry.

Would you like lumpfish for dinner? Nofima is trying to reveal how millions of cleaner fish used in the Norwegian salmon farming industry can be used for human consumption.

Nofima has developed a new quality test that uses renowned restaurant chefs to assess the quality of raw materials and products.

The machines are built and the technology is ready to use: Fish producers can now establish if they have caught world-class cod even before the fish is gutted, using light-based quality inspection of whole fish which can be done at industrial speed.

Research on freezing and thawing shows that regular frozen storage at -18°C is inadequate. Lower storage temperatures could make a big improvement.

A unique iron powder from salmon blood is more easily absorbed by the human body than iron salts. This may turn out to be a better option for patients with anaemia.

Eight research and innovation institutions take part in Nor-Fishing 2020 Digital, which, from 18-20 August, will be livestreamed from Trondheim.
