The Nofima notebook

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help provide a detailed evaluation of Atlantic salmon skin is currently being developed by researchers at Nofima.

The potential to cultivate kelp in areas blessed with cool seawater and long hours of daylight during the summer - such as northern Norway - is huge.

How genomic selection can rapidly increase the resistance of whiteleg shrimp to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) – one of the most costly diseases in the global shrimp farming sector.

Surprisingly little research into establishing the optimal lighting conditions for salmon in RAS facilities has been published. As a result, and given that light plays a key role in the development of Atlantic salmon, re…

We need to understand the past, address the present and be able to foresee the future. To achieve this in aquaculture, it is fundamental that we digitalise both research and the industry.

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…

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.

The diversification of aquaculture is vital for the long-term success of the sector, argues Øyvind J Hansen, in the first instalment of an exclusive new series by Nofima.
