Innovative and Knowledge Developments for Sustainability in Salmon-Based Aquaculture
Abstract
Coastal marine salmon-based aquaculture has grown considerably in produced volumes in recent years, and projections from FAO lay out possibilities for further increases. This can only be done by introducing stronger restrictions on sustainability, including fish health and environmental regulations. To solve environmental problems, the Norwegian aquaculture company Midt-Norsk Havbruk (now Salmonor AS) received development permits in 2017 for a project based on Aquatraz semi-closed steel cages. The study is based on documentation from the Aquatraz project and interviews with employees at Midt-Norsk Havbruk. The project has mainly been successful, as in the fourth generation of the Aquatraz cage put in operation in 2021/22 delousing was not required and escape did not take place. The projects also showed how knowledge management (KM) procedures were successfully changed during implementation of new innovative technologies, the main reason for this being a flat organizational structure and focus on training and upgrading of knowledge levels and dissemination.
