A two-year study tracking the environmental effects of commercial kelp aquaculture indicates that seaweed farming activities can significantly enhance marine biodiversity.
Recent work on the impact of climate change on Norway's salmon sector, led by researchers at Nofima, may help both the Norwegian sector, and the wider aquaculture industry, prepare for the numerous climate change-related challenges it faces.
One of the UK’s largest aquaculture operations – which ultimately aims to cultivate scallops, oysters and seaweed in novel systems over a 25-hectare site off Yorkshire – is due to get started in the coming months.
Microbiome scientists at Nofima are working on uncovering the complex cross-talk between the fish and its microbes and aim to improve the health of farmed fish.
