From waste, via insects to fish feed – is it safe?
That fish eat insects and bristle worms is nothing new. But can we farm insects for use in fish feed when they are fed on food waste? New research shows that this can be safe, if handled correctly.
SINTEF Ocean conducts research and innovation related to ocean space for national and international industries. Our ambition is to continue Norway's leading position in marine technology and biomarine research. Many of the challenges of modern society can be solved through sustainable use of the ocean. Transport, food and energy production represent the backbone of ocean-based industries, and are also core areas for SINTEF Ocean. In addition, we focus on environmental technology, with one of the world’s leading professional environments in marine environmental technology. Through cooperation in the SINTEF group, we are also able to integrate our own expertise with expert technological knowledge from other industry sectors.

SINTEF and a range of European partners will contribute to a safer Europe through our underwater and maritime technologies.
