      Introduction: Maturation in seawater-adapted (smoltified) male Atlantic salmon is undesirable yet frequently reported in fish weighing up to 1 kg reared under intensive conditions in land-based facilities. Although the photoperiod regulates both smoltification and maturation, the optimal post-smoltification regimen for the prevention of maturation is unclear.<p> <p>Methods: In this study, ...
    • Nanofiltration of intake water in RAS: Effect on fish performance, health and welfare 

      Ytrestøyl, Trine; Sveen, Lene; Krasnov, Aleksei; Dalum, Alf Seljenes; Kolarevic, Jelena (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)
      The experiment tested the effect of nanomembrane filtration in RAS on the salmon's physiology, welfare and growth. A specially designed membrane was used to remove sulphate from seawater and to adjust salinity from 32 to 12 ‰. A RAS where salinity was adjusted to 12 ‰ by mixing raw seawater and freshwater was used as control. The fish were kept in the two systems for 10 weeks before being ...
