The overall goal of the project is innovation in cod farming technology. Light and photoperiod is a powerful environmental regulator of growth and sexual maturation in fish. The project goal is to delay sexual maturation and obtain improved growth rate by using novel lightsource and to evaluate the genetic contribution to the determination of these phenotypes. The use of novel cold cathode light (CCL), which emits a single wavelength with improved distribution pattern in water compared with normal light, will allow for manipulation of key developmental processes during seacage culture of cod. Light induced stimulation of growth will improve feed utilization and shorten the production cycle, as well as decreasing the environmental impact of sae cage culture. The delay or inhibition of sexual maturation will improve product quality and taken together, the project will contribute to increased efficiency and profitability of industrial cod farming.
