Facilities

Research permits in aquaculture

Large scale, commercially beneficial research is being carried out together with the fish farming industry in Southern, Central and Northern Norway as part of Nofima’s research licenses.

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 Sustainable Aquaculture

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.

Aquafeed Technology Centre

At our innovation facilities called the Aquafeed Technology Centre, we test new ingredients and develop feeds of the future.
