Throughout the three days we were together, we had several interesting presentations from industry experts who gave us great insight into the status quo, challenges and opportunities within fish health and digital transformation.
A visit to Hardanger Akvasenter and Lingalaks.
We started the second day at Hardanger Akvasenter by visiting their digital exhibition, where we got an introduction to salmon fish farming and its origin in Hardangerfjorden. Solveig from Hardanger Akvasenter showed us around and explained why Hardangerfjorden is great for fish farming.
Next up we had a RIB ride with Hardangerfjord Adventure who took us to visit Saltkjelen, which is one of Lingalaks´ fish farms. Many of the participants had never been on an actual farming site before, which made this the highlight of the trip.
Back at Rossholmen, we were served lunch with Lingalaks salmon. Six different types of salmon were prepared, and while enjoying the meal, we got the full story as to how Lingalaks was founded and their development throughout the years. The presentation was held by no other than Rolv Haugarvoll, who founded the company back in 1978 together with his wife Åsta.
The rest of the module was held in Bergen at Litteraturhuset and Bod 24, where industry experts within fish health and digital transformation gave great insight to their fields.
