ZeroKyst’s final joint gathering at AquaNor 2025 sent a clear message: emission cuts in fisheries and aquaculture are no longer just visions – but solutions making their way into practice.
The ship may need over five kilometers to stop. Perhaps not so surprising. The ship measures 62 meters in width and extends 21 meters below the water’s surface. Four models needed to test if the ship withstands launch.
When the goal is that Norwegian fish farming should increase fivefold by 2050 and use at least 25% Norwegian-produced feed ingredients by 2034, we must look at new ingredient sources.
It can take up to 200 years for damaged marine environments to fully recover by just stopping the destruction and leaving the ecosystems to themselves. That is why we must implement active restoration interventions.
How do you find and catch something that lives in open water and is so small, at 2-3 mm, that it almost goes "under the radar"? These are some of the challenges fishermen face, when catching the copepod Calanus finmarchicus.
The food industry has to get moved up on the priority queue. Otherwise, it will be impossible to achieve the government’s goal of Norway becoming more self-sufficient in sustainable salmon feed.
Only five percent of small fishing boats chill their catch on board, despite the fact that temperature plays a crucial role when it comes to quality and shelf life.
It could take up to 200 years for our degraded ocean habitats to fully recover if we just leave them alone. So, we must intervene. The good news is that it works.
Fishing for Calanus remains a contested topic among Norwegian fishers, despite the government releasing a yearly quota of 254 000 tonnes. Why is that and what are potential solutions?
