330 participants from 10 countries joined\u00a0the fifth conference on recirculation in aquaculture\u00a0at Sunndals\u00f8ra at the CtrlAQUA and Nofima headquarters. The most recent knowledge on how to best produce large salmon smolt in closed containment systems with recirculation technology was presented, including 17 presentations related to CtrlAQUA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a high degree of innovation and producers who are eager to invest in this salmon production technology. The contributions at the conference addressed that how to do it safely, efficient and good for fish welfare and health, is not straight forward. We need to put priority to fish welfare all the way, also for ensuring that the smolt perform well when transferred to seawater\u201d, says \u00c5sa Espmark, Centre Director for CtrlAQUA.<\/p>\n

The conference attracted fish farmers, technology providers, scientists, the public policy system, bankers and an animal welfare group.<\/p>\n

The conference stretched over two days, and it included visit to Nofimas research facility on recirculating aquaculture systems, exhibition area for sponsors and a Q&A session where participants could address questions answered by scientists in CtrlAQUA.<\/p>\n
