However, changes in climatic conditions mean that high-temperature episodes become more frequent and gradually also include more and more regions. Our goal with this project is to conduct experiments with salmon at sea temperatures that are higher than those previously studied. We will conduct the temperature experiments at different oxygen levels to gain better knowledge of how high temperature and suboptimal oxygen conditions affect various biological functions, including energy partitioning. Experiments will also be carried out with different diets to increase knowledge about how the composition of main nutrients in feed affects the salmon's growth, health and feed utilization at high temperature and suboptimal oxygen conditions. Finally, case studies will be carried out with sampling in commercial facilities, and analysis of risk markers that have been identified as relevant to the problem. A better understanding of this field will enable more targeted optimization of operating conditions, feeding strategy and feed composition for salmon in the sea.
