Size Matters

摘要

In cooperation with the aquaculture industry in Norway, trials conducted by Nofima, under senior scientist, Bendik Fyhn Terjesen, demonstrate that juvenile salmon grown larger in the hatchery achieve greater success when transferred to sea cages in the ocean.Nofima noted that when young fish are put into marine net cages they inevitably encounter a much more challenging environment than when in the hatchery. Many of the smaller smolt simply aren't strong enough to handle these challenges, and die.
