Ø Screen existing farming equipment in light of the conditions in Icelandic waters Ø Modify, if necessary, available systems to fit for Iceland Ø Test out the best alternatives under Icelandic conditions for functionality in light of fish well-being and working conditions. Outcome will be an Icelandic sea-cage construction for Icelandic weather conditions and the Icelandic farming industry.
