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?

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.

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.

Removal and utilization of sea urchin barrens to restore macroalgae forests, economic and ecosystem benefits

Large areas of the Norwegian coast have extensive sea urchin barrens, where sea urchins have destroyed kelp forests on the seabed. In this project, sea urchins will be removed from barrens in Northern Norway, to investigate the restoration of kelp ecosystems and to identify the optimal use of the sea urchins that is extracted from the barrens.

PathoRAS

Pathogen dynamics and disinfection in Atlantic salmon recirculating aquaculture system

The overarching aim of PathoRAS is to ensure top-notch biosecurity measures in Atlantic salmon RAS through a better understanding of how pathogens proliferate, establish, and survive in the complex ecosystem of the RAS environment.

Temp-Intens

Life cycle study of Atlantic salmon with temperature and salinity as critical test variables

Temp-Intens' main objective is to provide recommendations for commercial production of salmon through optimization of temperature and salinity. These critical test variables will be tested under different farming conditions in the hatchery stage, and the fish will be monitored all the way until they are slaughtered, in order to assess performance, health, welfare and product quality.

FeedCtrl

Building competence along the feedfish-waste axis

The aim of this project is to shed light on the relationship that exists between feed ingredients, feed technology and sludge, and how this can help increase the utilisation of feed resources and also improve water quality in land-based facilities (RAS).

RAS 4.0

Biologically driven automation of salmon production conditions in RAS

The main objective of RAS 4.0 is to improve fish wellbeing and production efficiency and reduce operational risks by developing integrated control systems for water quality, feeding and energy optimization.

H2Salar

Hydrogen sulphide in land-based Atlantic salmon production

In this project we aim to create knowledge and advance our understanding of the risks and impacts of H2S to the physiology of Atlantic salmon in RAS.

RASHealth

Water treatment in RAS systems

Water disinfection strategies to improve Atlantic salmon parr production in freshwater recirculating aquaculture systems

BIO4ROBUST

Atlantic salmon biology in focus: for a robust fish in a shifting aquaculture industry

In this project we gather more knowledge on how to produce robust smolts, post-smolts and slaughter size fish in order to combine the full potential of RAS systems with sustainable fish production.

FutureEUAqua

Future growth in sustainable, resilient and climate friendly European aquaculture

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.

FarmWELL

Farmed animals welfare toolbox

In this project we develop operational health and welfare indicators for farmed fish.

SUREAQUA

Nordic Centre of Excellence for sustainable and resilient aquatic production

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.

CtrlAQUA

Centre for Research-Based Innovation in Closed-Containment Aquaculture

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.

AQUAEXCEL 3.0

AQUAEXCEL 3.0 offers European researchers the opportunity to use selected research facilities for aquaculture across Europe.
