R&D-meeting on melanin

Melanin spots in salmon fillets affect both fish welfare and economy, and it is a significant issue for the aquaculture industry.

The project is the second in a series of meetings financed by the Vestland county government through FORREGION Vestland.   

It resulted in a R&D meeting where leading stakeholders in industry and R&D met to discuss the current scientific bases and where our research and development should be focused to reduce the problem.

The meeting was held in collaboration with Bremnes Seashore at Bømlo on June 20th 2022 and efforts will be made to establish projects where current findings will be put into action, as well as identify and support new research projects to further resolve this issue.
