Observing a whole pen full of salmon at a fish farm will only tell you so much about their well-being. That’s why Norwegian scientists have developed an implant that measures and records the vital signs of individual fish, who will serve as “sentinels…. Continue reading Electronic implant lets select farmed salmon serve as “sentinel fish”
Although salmon farms help take pressure off wild stocks, the penned fish do produce a lot of waste which is concentrated at one location. A new farm is exploring a solution to that problem, by raising salmon and kelp in adjacent pens.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading World-first aquaculture operation will raise salmon and kelp together
While the farming of salmon does help take pressure off wild stocks, the feed used to raise the fish still isn’t entirely sustainably sourced. That may change, however, thanks to nutrient-rich worms that eat readily available seaweed.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Worms raised on seaweed could be a more sustainable salmon feed
Norway has a lot of coastline and many fjords, but not much in the way of flat, open ground on which to build runways. That’s where the Elfly project comes in, as it’s developing a short-haul electric seaplane that can take off and land in city harbour… Continue reading Elfly project will link Norwegian cities with electric seaplanes
It’s very important for fish farmers to keep track of the number of fish in their pens, but doing so typically involves going in and actually netting out some of the fish. According to new research, echo-sounding tech could soon serve as an easier and … Continue reading Echo-sounding used to count farmed fish – without all the hassle
A salmon can’t pick up and drop its supper dish like a dog, so how do you know if they are hungry? It’s an important question in aquaculture, and by using a combination of audio sensors and artificial intelligence, the Smart System for Feeding Control … Continue reading How listening to salmon helps feed them more efficiently
While ocean-based fish farms do help take pressure off of wild stocks, they have eco-unfriendly drawbacks of their own. A new underwater robot is being designed to address that situation, by autonomously inspecting the fish and their pens.Continue Read… Continue reading Underwater robot designed to keep tabs on fish farms
Scientists at Norway’s Stiftelsen for industriell og teknisk forskning (SINTEF) are working on ways to turn as much of a salmon as possible into useful products, including food supplements and fire retardants. By using new low-temperature processes, th… Continue reading New processes ensure not a gram of salmon goes to waste
If you’re in a road tunnel that suddenly gets filled with smoke due to a vehicle fire, it can be very difficult knowing which way to head. That’s where EvacSound comes in, as it uses audio beacons to guide people to safety.Continue ReadingCategory: Goo… Continue reading Norwegian tech uses audio beacons to get people out of smoky tunnels
