The project
Fish farming is a cornerstone of the Norwegian economy but faces several biological and environmental challenges. These include the prevalence of sea lice and winter sores (ocean farmed fish), sudden death syndrome (ocean and RAS farmed fish) and gastrointestinal health problems (farmed cod), causing significant animal welfare concerns and financial losses. By analyzing lipid and metabolite profiles from different stages of salmon/cod development and under varying environmental stress factors, this project aims to identify key lipids and metabolites involved in the underlying (patho)physiology of these conditions. This can in turn lead to better targeted nutritional and overall farming strategies, providing an invaluable contribution towards improved fish health while enhancing both the sustainability and profitability of the entire value chain of the Norwegian salmon and cod industries.
