Research & development collaborations

Tapping into the potential of a connected, open company

Collaborating with leading universities and research institutes ensures participating in some of the most exciting research being conducted around the world. Below you can find concrete examples of this.

EU projects

  • An aerial view of a tuna farm at sea

    Fish AI

    In response to the need to grow aquaculture in a sustainable way and become independent of finite feed ingredients, this project aims to develop an innovative, high-throughput screening tool that will enable the feed industry to predict the health and nutritional value of alternative feed faster and more effectively. 

    About Fish AI
  • A microscopic image of a cell during metaphase

    Zelcor

    The Zelcor project aims at demonstrating the feasibility of transforming lignocellulose biorefinery recalcitrant side streams into high added-value biobased products, including fine chemicals. It's concept is to combine chemical and enzymatic catalysis with insect-based biological conversion, within a biorefinery integrated approach.

    About Zelcor
  • A salmon pen at sea

    PerformFish

    PerformFISH brings together a representative multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary consortium to generate, validate and apply new knowledge in real farming conditions to substantially improve performance of the focal fish species, measured through Key Performance Indicators.

    About PerformFish
  • A dark, cloudy sky

    SynoProtein

    SynoProtein aims to develop and demonstrate a carbon-negative process that converts residues from sawmills into single-cell proteins for fish feed, as well as producing biochar for animal feed. 

    About SynoProtein
  • Mealworms

    Farmÿng

    Flagship demonstration of industrial scale production of nutrient resources from mealworms to develop a bioeconomy.

    About FarmYng
  • A plated cod dish with vegetables, resting on a rock

    EATFish

    The objective of EATFish is a sustainable and profitable European aquaculture sector to secure healthy seafood for our growing society.

    About Eatfish

Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF) projects

  • An underwater shot of salmon smolt

    TrueSmolt

    Aims to improve practices used for smolt production and thereby improve health and welfare, robustness and performance of post-smolts after SW transfer in the farming industry

    About TrueSmolt (NO)
  • An underwater shot of salmon in a pen, looking up at people standing above the surface

    OptiNutr

    Optimal nutrition for salmon in freshwater to increase fish robustness, survival and growth after seawater transfer

    About OptiNutr (NO)
  • An underwater shot of salmon schooling

    EPAsalmon

    Aims to clarify the importance of dietary EPA in inflammation and immune response in salmon by the use of cell models

    About EPAsalmon (NO)
  • A pciture of salmon fillets on paper with carrots in the background

    Stable Pigmentation

    Study how dietary factors and physiological mechanisms interact and control the pigmentation of salmon muscle.

    About Stable Pigmentation (NO)

The Research Council of Norway (NFR) projects

  • Salmon swimming underwater

    NutrEpiFish

    The aim of this project is to avoid micronutrient deficiencies during early life stages and to increase the growth potential, immune capacity, and decrease liver fat accumulation, fundamental for healthy growth through a) improved 1-C nutrient composition in gonads and eggs and b) smoltification, by optimization the dietary-induced epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

    About NurEpiFish
  • A sea bream juvenile eating feed pellets from a sandy underwater surface

    NovoFeed

    This project aims to develop novel functional feed ingredients for the aquaculture industry through facilitating the recovery and utilisation of valuable bioactive peptides from the salmon industry in Norway and the sea bass/sea bream industry in Italy.

    About NovoFeed
  • Microscopic image of fish skin, coloured dark blue

    Robust salmon skin

    Improve skin health, wound healing and resistance to Moritella viscosa in Atlantic salmon by a combined effort of genetics, vaccination and diets. 

    About robust salmon skin

Nordic Centre of Excellence Project

  • An view of a Norwegian fjord with a salmon farm and snow capped mountains in the distance

    SUREAQUA

    The consortium will establish a Nordic Centre of Excellence for Sustainable and Resilient Aquatic Production (SUREAQUA) to advance the bioeconomy transition in the Nordic region. The multidisciplinary centre will provide competence, innovation and technology to ensure sustainability and resilience in aquatic and associated land-based value chains.
