There are many challenges and questions related to the actual storage of live sturgeon that need to be answered (cage design, quantity of fish, maintenance feeding, temperature tolerance, etc.), but before getting that far there is a need to develop good procedures for catching, transferring and transportation. Fish to be stored live must be caught gently, transferred to transport cages, towed to shore and usually transferred to a larger storage cage. There is therefore a great need to establish procedures that comply with national and international regulations for catching sturgeon and at the same time ensure good fish welfare and high quality.
Main goal:
To develop methods for sustainable catching and live storage of mackerel sturgeon.
Sub -goals:
• To obtain knowledge from countries that have established routines for live storage of mackerel sturgeon and survey applicable technologies both nationally and internationally.
• To use acoustic and visual methods for early identification, quantity estimation and monitoring of the behavior of mackerel sturgeon during capture, transfer and live storage.
• To develop tools and monitoring methodology that provide good fish welfare and increase the meat quality of mackerel sturgeon during capture, transfer and storage.
