Summary Sustainability, environment, quality and cost reduction are desired expressions in the fishing industry. Together with Sintef, Nofima and industrial partners, Polybait AS is researching ways to come up with methods that will make traditional line fishing and autoline fishing more sustainable. The goal is to get completely away from using food fish for bait. Furthermore, the research will provide knowledge about the fish's behavior that can contribute to selective and sustainable fishing. Today, food fish is used as bait in the fishing industry. This is a problem lokall and globally. By replacing today's use of food fish with an artificial bait where smell and taste are extracted from local marine residual raw materials, the project will contribute to safeguarding fishery resources, reducing global transport and thereby reducing climate emissions. In the production of the bait, biological polymers and residual waste from fish processing are used. During transport and storage, the need for refrigeration / freezing is eliminated and shipping costs are reduced. In addition, Polaybait bait will help maintain fish stocks by enabling targeted selective fishing. In addition to environmental benefits, Norwegian companies will be able to get higher value creation on residual raw materials from their own fish processing. Today, rising bait prices are a problem for line fishing's economy. Although longline fishing provides the best quality of the fish, the high operating costs of buying bait could stop this traditional fishing. With this sustainable bait you will be able to get better control and predictable costs regarding line fishing.
