Raw materials from aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture

We study the biological properties of animals and plants that are used in food production and chart how they are affected.

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.

We conduct research into how to extract valuable components from raw materials to be used in new products.

Breeding involves systematically building on an animal’s preferred beneficial genetic characteristics.

Seafood must be sustainably harvested with respect for life both on land and at sea.

Fish production know-how is the basis for sustainable aquaculture.

Feed contains a variety of ingredients that must meet a fish’s nutritional needs at various stages of its life.

New knowledge and technologies make it possible to produce food to feed the world’s growing population in brand-new ways.

Our knowledge of the raw materials, their properties and what happens to them during various production processes and our knowledge of processing and storage factors enables us to know how to maximise food quality.
