For this year’s Havbruk 2022 in Bergen, FHF brought together 400 participants including researchers, companies and other stakeholders. There were many plenary sessions to address policies related to research. Participants from universities, companies and research institutes were allocated to different sessions (19-21 October) to present results connected to their recently funded projects that focus on fish health, fish nutrition and physiology, technology, fish breeding and genetics, fish welfare, fish processing and quality, cleaner fish. On 20^th there was a very effective panel debate about strategies to increase sustainability linked to aquafeeds through constant research and innovation without compromising the health of climate, biodiversity and fish.

Florence Perera, researcher at Nord University, was given the opportunity to present the results of the NordForsk-funded project NON-Fôr. She received positive feedback for employing sustainable feed ingredients such as microbe-derived oil. The session chair indicated the eagerness to see the results of the study that Nord is performing in the sea cages of LetSea AS.
