SalMar Aker Ocean continuously researches the behavior and welfare of salmon in challenging, exposed environments. Research activities include fish health, disease prevention, and monitoring technology to ensure the fish thrive under optimal conditions.
To ensure sustainable operations in exposed ocean areas, the company contributes to the further development of advanced modeling tools for environmental parameters such as currents and oxygen levels. This is crucial for selecting the best locations for exposed ocean farming while minimizing environmental impact.
Technology plays a central role in the continued development of exposed ocean farming. SalMar Aker Ocean focuses on developing robust technical solutions that can withstand demanding weather and wave conditions. Through method and model development, as well as testing of flexible (net) and rigid (steel structure) constructions, both safety and efficiency will be improved.
The future of aquaculture will involve increased automation. SalMar Aker Ocean is committed to developing automated systems and digitized solutions to optimize production and reduce the need for human presence in vulnerable areas. This enhances both cost-efficiency and safety.
