LetThereBeLight

Improved light regimes and feed for large smolt

Smolt are often reared under continuous light and fed an energy-rich diet before being transferred to the sea. In this project, we aim to improve the light regime and feed to address challenges related to growth, sexual maturation, and fat accumulation in large smolt reared in closed aquaculture systems.
