Ny løsning for gjellehelse –Fremmer gjellereparasjon

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Gill disease is prevalent in farmed salmon and can be caused by different biotic or abiotic factors. The association of multiple infectious and non-infectious agents, simultaneously or sequentially, is very common and results in the development of complex gill disease (CGD). Today, CGD is the number one gill health issue in Norway and there's currently no solution commercially available to prevent or support the recovery of the fish. Additionally, jellyfish and algae blooms have shown to be an increasing problem, causing high mortalities in farmed salmon, and increasing CGD incidence. This project will use a jellyfish challenge model to develop a commercial functional feed for promoting the recovery after gill damage.
