The Smolt Production in the Future conference is a joint venture between Nofima and Sunndal Næringsselskap. Our first conference was held in 2008, and we are hosting it for the ninth time in 2026. For many years, Nofima has had a strong research focus on recirculation in aquaculture, health, welfare and robustness of smolt.
