Fish welfare should be a criterion for obtaining new aquaculture concessions If fish mortality affects the bottom line, preventing mortality will be given more priority, says fish welfare researcher Tore Kristiansen.
How scientists discovered salmon that need less food to grow Norwegian researchers have identified young salmon that can be farmed using less feed than their not-as-efficient brethren.
How healthy is farmed salmon? Is farmed salmon as healthy to eat as wild salmon? And what about the health of the fish themselves?
Super salmon training starts early Healthier, stronger, bigger: this is a goal for Norwegian farm-raised salmon—and Harald Takle is their personal trainer.
Farmed salmon are as fertile as wild salmon The sperm from farmed male salmon are just as likely as the sperm of wild salmon to succeed in fertilising wild salmon eggs, experiments have shown. Researchers recommend that farmed salmon be made sterile.
Larger offspring when fish pick own mates It might not be so advantageous for us to help endangered animal species by selecting what we consider suitable mates for them.
Organic salmon has more Omega-3 A small share of Norwegian farmed salmon is produced organically. The organic product has the same quality as other farmed salmon, but has more Omega-3.
Farmed salmon retains good fats Norwegian farmed salmon is still a good source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, even though these fish are now fed more vegetable oils than previously.
