In the BIO4ROBUST project, the focus is on the biology of farmed Atlantic salmon: The aim is a robust fish in a shifting aquaculture industry.

«Smolt production in the future» is the conference with the longest tradition within RAS and close containment in Norway and Europe. The conference is organized by Nofima and Sunndal næringsselskap (SUNS) 23-24 October 2018 in Sunndalsøra at the west coast of Norway. Participants are fish farmers, technology providers, authoroties and scientists. Welcome!

Fourth Conference on Recirculating Aquaculture Sunndalsøra 25-26 October 2016

Ambitions are high, funding is available and the technology is well on the way when it comes to closed aquaculture facilities. This means that the road from research to implementation may be short. This is what tempted two international scientists to move to Sunndalsøra on the west coast of Norway, to be involved in developing the new generation of closed-containment salmon aquaculture facilities.

CtrlAQUA is a Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI) that will lay the foundation for the development of closed-containment concepts of the future. With greater control of the production process, it will be possible to reduce problems associated with mortality and sea lice, and to reduce the production time for farmed salmon.
