| As part of
a project for the
Norwegian Research Council,
Akvaforsk fish researchers are
laying the foundations for breeding cod on a grand scale. The aim is
to develop a type of cod that is better suited to aquaculture than
wild cod.
"The intention is to find stock that
are better suited to the new environment that marine farming
represents, and at the same time provide us with the products we are
looking for in an efficient and resource-friendly manner," says
Torbjørn Åsgård, Research director in AKVAFORSK. "This will become a
grand-scale industry, and in three years' time farmed cod will be a
popular dish on the menu." |
