SINTEF Ocean projects

Storvik Aqua is in cooperation with SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, Marine Harvest and Lerøy Hydrotech developing a concept for automatic counting of mobile and stationary stages of salmon lice.

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) issues. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answers needed by...

Biomass measurement of plankton is a time consuming, but critical component in order to maintain a stable, controlled culture. Often solved manually and off-line, the task includes time-consuming counting of cells in which samples must be transported...

SENSODRONE evaluates the potential of using remotely piloted air systems in the maritime sector. Craft and sensors must be adapted to maritime conditions in order to collect high quality data. Sensor types include stills cameras, video cameras, IR...

A new tool is being developed at SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, which will help skippers to save large amounts of fuel each year.

Within the offshore industry ROV has replaced most  underwater operations. ROV technology is increasingly used within aquaculture, for operations such as mooring inspection, cleaning and inspection of nets. The technology has not been further...

The main objective is to reduce NO_x and other emissions into the environment by increasing energy efficiency in demanding marine operations in the Arctic. The project suggests the development of a semi-pelagic multi trawling-technology for...

The focus of EXPLOIT is to improve the sustainability of the intensive fish farming industry by integrating cultivation of mussels and seaweed with traditional salmon aquaculture.

The electronic quality manual for pelagic fish was designed in the project "Pelagic quality - from ocean to plate," which was a larger collaborative project ended in 2006 with participants from across the pelagic chain. The handbook is now revised.
