Start year 2022 End year 2024 Funding (€) € 300,000 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901745/ Summary The color of the salmon fillet is one of the most important quality criteria, and reduced and variable color leads to downgrading, reduced reputation and financial loss for the breeders. If the causes of greatest importance for poor pigmentation in commercial salmon production are identified, it will be possible to work on improvements in production practices that can lead to improved colouring. It is also a goal of the project to increase expertise in the industry about what can affect pigmentation and how different methods for measuring color in salmon fillets can give different answers.
Main objective:
To compile experience-based and published knowledge about pigmentation in salmon muscle to help uncover causes of poor pigmentation and give recommendations on measures that can improve colouration.
Sub-goals:
1. To carry out a review and compilation of existing literature that includes both publications, reports and abstracts on the pigmentation of salmonids (work package 1).
2. To arrange an open seminar where industry players are invited to contribute both experiences and scientific knowledge about pigmentation (work package 2).
3. To collect experience-based knowledge and data from industry players who have salmon production in various countries/regions, through interviews and questionnaires (work package 2).
4. To carry out statistical analysis of data collected from industry players in order to identify causal relationships (work package 3).
5. To communicate results from the project and give recommendations on possible measures to improve pigmentation (work package 4).
