Facilities

Centre for Marine Aquaculture

The centre and associated sea facilities are used for the production of and experiments with farmed cod.

Tromsø Aquaculture Research Station

Tromsø Aquaculture Research Station, of which we are part-owners, is a modern research facility for experimental studies of marine fish, freshwater fish, molluscs, crustaceans and other aquatic organisms.

Research Station for Aquaculture – Sunndalsøra

At this land-based research station at Sunndalsøra with fresh water, seawater and recirculated water, we can carry out biological and technological experiments along the complete aquaculture value chain.
