Norway has a long history of growing marine fish species in its coastal waters. As the size of farms, level of industrialisation and complexity of marine fish farming increases, new economic, environmental, fish welfare and human health and safety challenges arise, many of which can be solved by improved technology.
The Centre for Research-based innovation in Aquaculture Technology (CREATE) wil l combine world-leading Norwegian companies that supply equipment to fish farms with scientific research institutions into a centre with a common focus to innovate aquaculture technology. Basic research (e.g. from the NTNU-based Centre of Excellence, the Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures) and conceptual ideas (from industry partners) will be transformed through research into new commercialisable products.
CREATE will focus research and development within the following three main research pillars and integrate knowledge between them: equipment and constructions, operation and handling, and farming intelligence.
