A pioneering system that can automatically count sea lice – and potentially save thousands of man hours, as well as improve fish welfare – is in the running for this year’s Nor Fishing Innovation Award.
Ensuring smolt adapt successfully after transfer to marine sites is notoriously difficult, but Virginia Iglesias of the Fish Vet Group offers some valuable insights into failed smolt syndrome and how to minimise it.
New research has revealed that lumpfish exposed to live prey and frozen sea lice prior to transfer to marine sites perform better as cleaner fish once stocked in salmon pens.
Professor Johan Aerts, Head of the Stress Physiology Research Group (StressChron), explains why reducing stress in farmed fish is an essential way to optimise aquaculture sustainability.
A new report shows that ensuring sufficient levels of zinc and long chain omega-3 fatty acids in salmon feed can help improve the gut and gill health of salmon and reduce losses when smolts are transferred to marine sites.
