SINTEF Ocean projects

The BIOCLOSED project focuses on cage environments in commercial, closed cages in the sea, to ensure good fish welfare and fish health.

The aquaculture industry invests significant resources to ensure optimal fish health, welfare, and survival until harvest. The primary goal is to reduce the proportion of fish that die before regular slaughter. However, utilizing the mortalities that...

The main objective of the project is to develop a non-lethal PCR based assay that can detect and quantify stinging cells in gill mucus swabs and water samples.

The purpose of the project is to develop new knowledge as well as an integrated model to predict and assess the production environment for new production concepts and locations for exposed aquaculture and offshore aquaculture.

OptiFish aims to develop, test, and validate technologies that will improve onboard monitoring of catch volumes and fish health, enabling fishers to improve the sustainability of their operations and to better meet control requirements.

Development of efficient, robust and environmentally friendly refrigeration systems for small fishing vessels that help reduce food waste, emissions and improve the quality of the catch.

DYNAPORT will develop new optimization and coordination tools for ports and ships that reduce the ship's fuel consumption and increases port efficiency with at least 10% and ensure implementation by relying on internationally accepted information...

TAILWIND embraces sustainable-by-design principles to shape the next generation of floating offshore wind (FOW) farms.

AquaStar will develop an autonomous underwater system for targeted inspection and repair of holes in fish farm nets. The aim is to improve today's inspection routines and enable the immediate repair of holes.
