Subarktisk tarekultivering

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The project will address critical R&D challenges in seaweed aquaculture in Northern Norway, where conditions are ideal, but the industry is underdeveloped. The project aims to transform the industry by optimizing techniques for various seaweed species and addressing issues like the lack of methods for non-sugar kelps, scalable seedling production, and cost-effective seeding. Four trials will be conducted to investigate sori induction, compare seeding methods, grow winged kelp seedlings, and refine dulse cultivation, using APN’s FISK research station and facilities. This project aims to enhance seaweed aquaculture's economic value and sustainability, positioning APN as a leader in this emerging sector.
