1. Develop methodologies / protocols for breeding grazing-ready fish with known health status and in the quantities, quality and size groups that the industry demands.
2. Develop methodologies / protocols for the use of farmed pastures to allow lumpfish by lice control in commercial salmon farming.
Key R&D challenges
HI: Improve spawning control with regard to season as well as synchronize each spawning stock. Optimize egg collection and incubation. Improve the initial feeding environment, find critical factors. Shorten the weaning period. Produce lumpfish from eggs to grazing-ready fish within 12 months.
Villa Miljølaks: Farmed lumpfish will be available for release in nets together with spring smolts 2007. Villa Miljølaks has an R&D license where HI is a competence partner, and has developed a standard experimental scheme that will be followed, with lice counting, stomach samples, vegetation status on net and measurement of hydrographic data. The main challenges will be to document grazing efficiency and survival in farmed salmon in salmon nets. Important questions are how quickly lumpfish that have only eaten an artificial feed (pellet) start eating salmon lice, and how effective it will be compared to wild-caught lumpfish. Another factor is to map the survival of the farm as compared to wild-caught lumpfish, mapping the cause of death (using rapid testing for bacterial diseases, etc. under the guidance of HI) and any need for vaccination.
The application potential:
In 2006, about 180 million salmon smolts were released in Norway, which triggers a potential need for 200,000 large lumpfish used on large salmon in 2007. Such large quantities of fish are not available based on catching wild fish. With this as a background, HI Austevoll, at the initiative of the aquaculture industry and industry organizations (FHL), has started work on developing knowledge and technology for fry production of lumpfish."
