Tanks vs Cages

摘要

Norwegian researchers examine the performance of salmon smolts reared in tanks versus fish from the same cohort reared in sea cages.Many problems in the aquaculture industry are investigated using small-scale experiments, and this has resulted in close and successful collaboration between the industry and the research community This collaboration will likely continue as the industrygrows, and it is clearly important that the results of experiments conducted at small scale accurately predict results at the industrial scale. At the Aquaculture Europe Conference recendy held in San Sebastian, Spain, Dr. Asa M. Espmark, from Nofima, Norway, reported on recent work that investigated the relevance of small-scale experiments for industrial purposes.
