"Although in Norway we have been fishing and hunting since pre-historical times, we still have a lot to learn about what happens to the fish during the catch. We intend to find out more about this now," said project manager Geir Sogn-Grundvag at Nofima.XThe EthiCatch project is set to run from 1st January this year to 20th December 2022, and during that time Nofima's scientists will be identifying how the use of various types of commercial fishing gear affect the physiology and mortality of cod and thus their welfare and quality. They will also examine Links between ethical fishing, quality and price.Nofima is leading the project, which is being carried out in co-operation with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and the Arctic University of Norway (Tromso). The three-year research project is funded by the Research Council of Norway.
