SINTEF Ocean Fisheries Technology

Fisheries Technology

We are taking part in the development of the fishing fleet of tomorrow by contributing to achieve sustainable utilization of marine resources  in a way that is profitable for the fisherman. This mean developing more efficient fishing methods, gear, and ways to better utilize the catch.

Flume tank in Hirtshals

The core products in our flume tank are research projects and commercial testing of trawls and trawl doors. Numerous trawls have over the years been tested here, and fishermen and net manufacturers have learned to optimize the use of their gear. Also most new developments and selectivity devises have had a round in the flume tank before they went to sea, for the final tests.
