A case study of biofilter activation and microbial nitrification in a marine recirculation aquaculture system for rearing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)Marine recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) is a prominent technology within fish farming. However, the nitrifying bacteria in the biofilter have low growth rates, which can make the biofilter activation a long and ... -
Comparison of diet composition, feeding, growth and health of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) fed either feed blocks or pelleted commercial feed
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Two duplicate groups of individually tagged lumpfish (mean initial weight: 21.5 ± 3.2 g) were fed either a commercially available lumpfish feed or feed blocks for a period of 123 days. The aim was to evaluate and compare ... -

Effects of altered photoperiod regimes during winter on growth and gonadosomatic index in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) reared in freshwater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The short- and long-term effects of altered photoperiods during winter on growth and final gonadosomatic index (GSI) were investigated in 178 individually tagged 2-year-old smolt Arctic charr from an anadromous strain. The ... -
Effects of short-term starvation periods on flesh quality in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) in different seasons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Possible effects of short‐term starvation on flesh quality in Arctic charr were studied in spring (March) and summer (August). Groups of juvenile Arctic charr (mean weight March 536 g ± 24; August 461 g ± 15 SEM) were ... -
Flesh quality of Atlantic salmon smolts reared at different temperatures and photoperiods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Possible interactive effects of temperature and photoperiod on flesh quality in Atlantic salmon post‐smolts were studied. Juvenile (initial mean weight 96.0 g ± 3.1 SEM ) Atlantic salmon were reared at six different ... -
Production performance of Atlantic salmon post-smolts in cyclic hypoxia, and following compensatory growth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07)This study investigated the production performance of the Atlantic salmon postsmolt (Salmo salar L.) subjected to cyclic oxygen reductions (hypoxia) of varying severity. Triplicate groups (N = 955) were kept at constant ...
