The project has contributed valuable knowledge about triploid salmon compared to diploid. It has been shown that gene regulation in triploid salmon is complex and varies in different types of tissues in the salmon. Both post-smolt and adult triploids perform better than diploids at low temperatures and worse at high temperatures. Similar or better performance of triploids at low temperatures can make them suitable both in areas with moderate maximum temperatures and also in closed flow-through systems with sufficient oxygen levels year-round. The project has provided essential knowledge about the production of triploid salmon, with direct utility for companies that release triploid salmon in "green permits" or use triploid salmon for other reasons. At the same time, the results show that the production of triploid salmon is not without problems, as the possibility of errors that can cause deformities, cataracts, or poor growth seems greater than in the production of regular diploid salmon. Increased growth of post-smolt and adult salmon at lower temperatures can be exploited by the industry to achieve faster production in areas where the temperature is favorable for such production, but also in closed facilities that draw cooler deep water in the summer.
