SINTEF projects

The project will establish the first seaweed cultivation vessels to increase production volumes and industrialize the industry.

ALLEGRO shall prove the efficiency of alternative methods to control biofouling on nets and hard surfaces.

The project addresses important challenges in land-based, closed containment aquaculture facilities using water recirculation treatment technology (RAS).

The Artifex project explored new ways of executing operations at fish farms by combing remote control, unmanned surface vehicles, unmanned subsea robots and unmanned aerial vehicles.

The Norwegian aquaculture industry has high accident numbers compared to other industries. There is a need for measures and systems that help improve safety and working conditions for workers.

AQUAEXCEL2020 aims to offer services tailored to the needs of the European aquaculture community and support and conduct world-class aquaculture research.

Treatments with hydrogen peroxide in closed systems has due to an increasing resistance in sea louse to other medical delousing methods become a common alternative.

This project will develop knowledge, technology and operational methods to advance current net cleaning technologies in order to improve cleaning efficacy and fish health while at the same time reducing the wear of net coatings and the discharge of...

RACE Current on location scale is a strategic project at SINTEF in which we will increase our understanding of water currents in and between the cages of a fish farm. The current structure is affected by the oceanographic conditions around the farm...

This PostDoc project is supported by the Research Council of Norway and will examine the risks of current biofouling management practices in Norwegian salmon aquaculture on fish health and biosecurity.

The aquaculture company SalMar, based on the island of Frøya, has through its development company Ocean Farming, proposed a new design for an ocean salmon fish farm on exposed sites.

Artificial reefs are manmade constructions that are deployed on the seabed and form the basis for the establishment of a new ecosystem.

Could kelp cultivation work as biological filters for aquaculture effluents in land-based hatcheries?

SINTEF is now financing the priority project "Bio-based products from sustainable resources", an interdisciplinary project where three SINTEF institutes collaborates with a common goal – to develop technology for the creation of valuable products...

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.

eFairway's idea is to establish technological solutions for an interactive fairway as an integral part of the eNav concept developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This involves the development, adaption and integration of...

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...

Autonomous mobile systems are capable of reasoning about and solving unstructured problems without the direct intervention of humans, and central to future exploitation of the ocean space.
