SINTEF OCEAN AS - Aquaculture

SINTEF Ocean works with knowledge needs and innovation for the entire value chain of aquaculture, including today’s conventional net-pens, closed production on land and at sea, as well as new types of facilities suitable for aquaculture at sea.

We work closely with the aquaculture industry, management to understand the industry’s prerequisites and needs, and to set the agenda for sustainable development. Sustainable production of food from the sea requires knowledge about the interaction between biology and technology for optimised production with good fish welfare.

Production at sea also entails special challenges and risks related to daily operations, the working environment, and health and safety. SINTEF possesses world-leading expertise in these areas and actively participates in the development of innovative and future-oriented aquaculture technology.
