FLO-biosec

Solutions for water intake, water treatment and biosecurity in FLO

The overall goal of the project is to develop knowledge that is important for the further development of floating closed‑containment (FLO) systems for salmonid aquaculture in Norway.

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?

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 Next-Level-Welfare

Next-Level-Welfare Behavioural monitoring of aquatic animals 

The project aims to advance aquaculture through digital innovation by developing a robust ML and IT infrastructure, diversifying digital tool applications, refining behavioural analysis models, conducting a SWOT analysis, and disseminating knowledge through publications and guidelines.

VaxiCod

Vaccination against francisellosis in farmed cod in light of the changing climate

Atlantic cod farming is making a comeback and needs support to improve disease resistance.

IllumiAkva

Species-specific light use in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout aquaculture

In IllumiAkva, we gather knowledge about the use of light in aquaculture, from the earliest life stages to harvest-ready fish.

Chicken meal for salmon

Utilisation of residual raw materials from chicken as a protein source in salmon feed

The aim of this project is to facilitate increased utilisation of chicken residues in feed for salmon.

EpiBrood

Intergenerational epigenetic effects in Norwegian salmon aquaculture

The EpiBrood project will investigate whether different industry broodstock rearing environments and maturation practices used by breeding and multiplier companies in Norway have significant intergenerational (parent-offspring) impacts on phenotypes (e.g. growth) of production fish, whether epigenetic programming is involved and what preventions and treatments might mitigate such effects.

ValueSøl

Producing high value macroalgae in Troms and Finnmark through advanced hatchery and production techniques

The ValueSøl project aims to improve the efficiency for dulce/søl (Palmaria palmata) sporeling production, to promote the production of dulce for human consumption with low carbon footprint and to evaluate dulce cultivation as a mitigating solution for aquaculture effluents discharged to the environment.

GillHealthAct

Establishing the code of best practices for Atlantic salmon gill health in a multifactorial world

Gill health problems remain the top health and welfare-related issue in Norwegian Atlantic salmon aquaculture. The GillHealthAct project responds to this challenge by documenting best practices for prevention and treatment that ensure optimal gill health in farmed salmon.

SalmoE2

Nutritional effects of ethyl ester oils in Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout

In SalmoE2, we aim to test whether ethyl ester (EE) oil can be used as a safe source of nutritionally beneficial fatty acids in the feed for salmon and trout.

SALMOCODE

Salmon Map of Organs and Cells for Optimal Development of Embryos

SALMOCODE will tackle the problems of abnormal organ development by detecting its onset as early as possible, using leading edge technology and concepts from genomics and developmental biology. These diagnostics will be used to formulate evidence-based best practices for preventing the appearance of these abnormalities.

SynoProtein

Carbon-negative process of wood biomass

In SynoProtein the aim is to develop and demonstrate a carbon-negative process that converts residues from sawmills into single-cell proteins for fish feed, as well as producing biochar for animal feed.

Investigating Urea for Enhanced Welfare in Farmed Salmon

In the project titled 'Urea in Farmed Salmon Feed for Enhanced Fish Welfare,' our aim is to explore the potential benefits of incorporating urea as an additive into farmed salmon feed.
