Production biology Read in Norwegian Research director Åsa Maria O. Espmark Research Director +47 71 40 01 39 Research areas Aquaculture systems Fish can be farmed in multiple ways. We obtain knowledge of how best to produce fish in the different systems by focusing on fish welfare and quality. Farmed fish Fish production know-how is the basis for sustainable aquaculture. Food systems Everything is connected. Digitalisation Linking the information that emerges throughout the process from land or sea to the consumer enhances our knowledge of what affects the quality. This can improve the food we produce and make the food production process more sustainable.
