On that occasion, UIT is applying for NOK 150,000 for a preliminary project with the aim of developing a KMB application for a 3-year project with a focus on ""Full-scale harvesting of redfish"".
In recent times, biotechnology companies have developed products from redfish that confirm that redfish is a source of unique products that the market is increasingly demanding. As an example, oil extracted from redfish can help prevent and treat the harmful effects of the global obesity epidemic. Agreements have been entered into with the University Hospital of Northern Norway HF (UNN) for clinical trials of the product, and a leading player is now launching dietary supplements with Calanus oil in Norway. Here is also a great potential in the protein side both in health food, food and feed. A prerequisite for further upscaling and industrialization is that the bottleneck in the catch link is resolved. The challenges are primarily related to streamlining and upscaling to achieve catch rates and access to resources that can justify investments in the fleet link and on the land side. The overall objective of the main project is to contribute to the establishment of commercial, industrial and self-sustaining business activity based on Norway's largest renewable marine resource.
