The aquaculture industry is facing increasing challenges due
to a more demanding and selective market combined with a tougher
competition from non-European countries. Technological solutions
contributing to a more ethical production of healthier fish
and with a reduced impact on the environment are a major step
towards a higher quality product and restoration of the consumer’s
confidence in farmed fish.
DesignACT is a EU funded project aiming to design a European
Aquaculture Centre of Technology (ACT): a large-scale experimental
facility in Mid-Norway that will address the unmet needs in
the European aquaculture sector.
As a meeting
place for technology and biology, the goal is to seek technical
solutions with direct or indirect biological impact.

The
design of the specialised laboratory will be based on a continuous
and close cooperation between technologists, marine biologists
and ecologists on one side and the fish farming industry and
its suppliers on the other.
DesignACT started on 1 April 2005 and will take 3 years to complete.
Inform
us about your research needs and we may jointly work towards
the establishment of new experimental facilities leading to
the necessary technological solutions.
