LetThereBeLight

Improved light regimes and feed for large smolt

Smolt are often reared under continuous light and fed an energy-rich diet before being transferred to the sea. In this project, we aim to improve the light regime and feed to address challenges related to growth, sexual maturation, and fat accumulation in large smolt reared in closed aquaculture systems.

TOP-Zinc

Technical optimisation of zinc supplementation strategies for enhancing zinc availability, improving fish health and minimising environmental impact

In this project we will study innovative methods in feed technology to improve zinc availability in salmon feeds.

SelectOrganic

Development of selective breeding programs for boosting organic fish farming in Europe

SelectOrganic aims to contribute to the development of selection programs for organic aquaculture that respect high standards of fish welfare.

OptiBoost

Importance of gentle drying technology for the quality of fishmeal and for the quality, health and welfare of farmed salmon in critical production phases

Fishmeal is an excellent feed ingredient, but how can it be producd with even higher quality for the health, quality and welfare of salmon?

NonBio

Feasibility of technological solutions for non-biological ammonia removal in RAS

How can non-biological ammonia removal technologies support biofilters in recirculating aquaculture systems?

The role of seafood in Norwegian food security

In this project, we aim to gain new knowledge about the role of seafood in Norwegian food security. The research will provide the basis for concrete advice to strengthen security.

PalmariaPlus

Production potential for red seaweed in Europe

In this project, we will investigate the cultivation potential of two red algae species which are currently underutilised by the European food industry.

LogFlat

Logistics solutions for flatfish

This project investigates the optimal ways to collect and handle flatfish in Norway, focusing on both live and chilled raw materials. We will develop a practical guide for the seafood industry, offering recommendations for the catching, handling, storing, and packaging of flatfish.

OCCAM

Adaptations to climate changes in aquaculture

Adapting to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are challenges faced by the aquaculture industry. Through OCCAM, we aim to help develop and test new solutions that address precisely these issues.

ResNor

Resilient North: food production, food safety and public health in Northern Norway

In this project, we are acquiring knowledge that will strengthen food production and food security in Northern Norway.

AdHealth

Food Additives and Gut Health

In AdHealth we study the impact of food additives (hydrocolloids) on the gut microbiota and health using in vitro models, mice trials and human intervention.

BarleyNOR

Norwegian Barley for industrial-scale malting

How can Norwegian barley be used for malt production at an industrial scale? In this project, we will increase knowledge and explore opportunities.

MicroPack

Food Microbiology and Circular Packaging Solutions

Norway is known for safe food production, but pathogenic microorganisms and food waste remain challenges that must be addressed. Through the MicroPack project, researchers will develop new knowledge on how to ensure food safety, prevent food waste, and develop circular packaging solutions that meet future sustainability requirements.

NorwegianFoods

Improved utilization of Norwegian agricultural resources

There is a need to utilize Norwegian agricultural resources more effectively to increase self-sufficiency and reduce food waste. The NorwegianFoods project aims to contribute to increased value creation through innovative use and processing of Norwegian raw materials into attractive, healthy, and sustainable products.

The effect of process on protein digestibility in salmon

What causes proteins from new feed ingredients to be digested by salmon to a lesser extent than proteins from more traditional ingredients? Could it be due to the processing conditions? In this project we aim to find answers and develop methods and analyses that explain the relationship between processing conditions and protein digestibility.

SIS CELLCRISP

Use of gene-edited cell lines in aquaculture

This project aims to explore the use of cell lines and primary cells, combined with gene editing to facilitate aquaculture research.

SIS Frontiers

New frontiers in salmonid biology

Diseases and disorders affecting the heart, skin, and gills are major challenges to salmon health and welfare. In SIS Frontiers, we will explore new frontiers in understanding the functions of these organs, including newly studied mucosal organs, to connect current scenarios with biological insights.

SIS Dilemmas

Dilemmas in Sustainable Fisheries

In this strategic institute project, we will investigate and increase knowledge about the dilemmas that can arise among the three sustainability pillars - economy, environment, and social conditions - in the exploitation of our wild fish stocks.
