Scientists Aim to Refine Light Regimes for Salmon Welfare and Growth

Researchers investigate light perception in farmed salmon and trout - Feed & Additive Magazine

Norwegian scientists have launched a major research project to better understand how farmed salmon and rainbow trout perceive light. By considering the light environment from the fish’s perspective, the scientists intend to recommend light regimes that are optimally adapted to the biology of the fish at all times.

Scientists aim to refine light regimes for salmon welfare and growth

Nofima-led research project aims to improve light management in salmon farming. Nofima has launched a multi-year research project to investigate how farmed salmon and rainbow trout perceive light, with the goal of refining lighting strategies used across the aquaculture industry. The initiative is intended to improve fish welfare and production outcomes by aligning industry practices [...]

Research explores how light affects farmed salmon

Scientists in Norway are investigating how farmed salmon and rainbow trout perceive light in their surroundings through the IllumiAkva project. Their goal is to provide fish farmers with lighting recommendations, from hatching to harvest, for both species to i…
