DigitalAqua
The project aims to help improve our assessment and knowledge of fish welfare via digitalisation.
Period
2019 - 2023
Funded by
Nofima
FutureEUAqua
In this project we will investigate future fish farming through the value chain, in various production systems and with various species, from the genetics to processing and packaging, including societal and economical aspects.
2018 - 2022
EU - Horizon 2020
The world’s largest floating slaughterhouse can collect salmon directly from Norwegian net-pens and slaughter the fish while transporting them to land in Denmark. Among other things, scientists will investigate effects on animal welfare, quality and food safety.
2018 - 2020
RFF Vestlandet - regionalt forskningsfond
PERAGILL
This project will explore an alternative strategy to treat amoebic gill disease (AGD), a serious problem in Atlantic salmon aquaculture.
2018 - 2021
The Norwegian Seafood Research Fund - FHF
FarmWELL
In this project we develop operational health and welfare indicators for farmed fish.
Predictive
The overall aim of the project is to expand the knowledge on how the environment affects the biology of farmed fish and develop robust systems that may be used to screen and evaluate the impacts of the challenges related to changing environment.
The Research Council of Norway
A new research project will investigate and analyse relevant management models for aquaculture in the future.
2017 - 2020
MedAID
MedAID (Mediterranean Aquaculture Integrated Development), a four year EU H2020 research project, will address key factors to improve aquaculture production in the Mediterranean. The project brings together the best aquaculture experts from over 30 organisations from 12 countries.
2017 - 2021
SUREAQUA
The Nordic Centre of Excellence for sustainable and resilient aquatic production (SUREAQUA) was established in 2017 to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration across the Nordic bioeconomy community.
Nordforsk
PROGRESS
PROGRESS is a strategic internal project of the institute that aims to investigate the epigenetic programming resulting from low oxygen stress during early development and how this influences the robustness of salmon.
BALANCE
In BALANCE the aim was to increase the basic understanding of how nutrients in the feed, in combination with genetic background, affect the occurrence of metabolically induced health and quality problems in Atlantic salmon.
FeedMod
In this project we developed analytical tools and models of the gastrointestinal system in Salmon to understand how different sources of proteins and physical pellet quality affect nutrient utilization and gut microbiota for improved fish health.
2017 - 2019
FutureFish
We study the genetics of robustness in salmon to thermal stress and sea-lice to improve the robustness of salmon and lumpfish under climate change.
A web portal with indicators on the sustainability of Norwegian aquaculture was developed. The portal was released in December 2018, and covers more than 20 different themes on environmental, economic and social sustainability. The portal has been replaced by the service AkvaInfo in January 2025.
2016 - 2024
The successful cooperation in QuantEscape between four leading research institutions that study interactions between escaped farmed and wild Atlantic Salmon led to a second project, QuantEscape2. The project will provide knowledge that can improve the management of wild and farmed salmon and increase the sustainability of industries that depend on salmon.
2016 - 2018
RENSVEL
With the increasing use of cleaner fish, especially farmed ballan wrasse and lumpfish (and also wild-caught goldsinny wrasse), there is a need for more knowledge on the welfare of these species.
2015 - 2019
OrAqua
The overall vision of the OrAqua project is the economic growth of the organic aquaculture sector in Europe, supported by science based regulations in line with the organic principles and consumer confidence.
2014 - 2016
EU - FP7
Nofima runs the national breeding programme for cod, which provides important data for developing a profitable cod farming industry.
2001
Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries
This is a small selection of the more than 500 projects Nofima is involved in at any given time.
