The overall goal of the project is innovation in cod farming technology. Light and photoperiod is a powerful environmental regulator of growth and sexual maturation in fish. The use of novel cold cathode light, which emits a single wavelength with improved distribution pattern in water compared with normal light, will allow for manipulation of key developmental processes during seacage culture of cod. The project goal is to obtain improved growth rate and delay of sexual maturation. Light induced stimulation of growth will improve feed utilization and shorten the production cycle, as well as decreasing the environmental impact of sae cage culture. The delay or inhibition of sexual maturation will improve product quality and taken together, the project will contribute to increased efficiency and profitability of industrial cod farming.
