Ongoing aquaculture research at SLU https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/organisation/collaborative-centres/slu-aquaculture/aquaculture-research-at-slu/aquaculture-research-at-slu/ The Feed of the Future for poultry, fish and pork The project brings together researchers and stakeholders from across the food chain to jointly develop the feed of the future for production animals. The goals include producing and selling fish, pork, poultry, and eggs from animals fed with climate-smart, circular feed. https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/framtidens-foder-for-fagel-fisk-och-flask/ https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/framtidens-foder-for-fagel-fisk-och-flask/ Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:33:08 +0200 Fish farming in the North The project aims to investigate if and how rainbow trout and Arctic charr can be farmed sustainably in hydropower dams in northern Sweden from a biological, ecological, social and economical perspective. https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/fish-farming-in-the-north--a-food-production-with-environmental-potential/ https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/fish-farming-in-the-north--a-food-production-with-environmental-potential/ Wed, 30 Jul 2025 15:34:27 +0200 Environmental effects of escaped farmed fish on natural fish fauna – a case study in Lake Storsjön Rainbow trout has been farmed as a food fish in Sweden for several decades, and fish escaping from farms is a recurring problem. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the consequences of fish escapes. This is now being studied in this case study in Storsjön. https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/m/environmental-effects-of-escaped-farmed-fish-on-natural-fish-fauna--a-case-study-in-lake-storsjon/ https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/m/environmental-effects-of-escaped-farmed-fish-on-natural-fish-fauna--a-case-study-in-lake-storsjon/ Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:56:18 +0200 Microbiome monitoring for risk assessment in recirculating aquaculture systems Harmful bacteria have a negative impact in aquaculture operations, resulting in increased fish mortality and reduced yield. This project aims to understand the factors leading to their proliferation and develop a monitoring strategy together with commercial partners. https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/m/microbiome-monitoring-for-risk-assessment/ https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/m/microbiome-monitoring-for-risk-assessment/ Mon, 09 Jun 2025 08:59:40 +0200 The Kingdom of Colors The Kingdom of Colors is an innovative research project aimed at developing new methods to monitor algal toxins in marine environments using visual signals such as algae pigmentation and patterns. https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/fargernas-rike/ https://www.slu.se/en/research/research-catalogue/projekt/f/fargernas-rike/ Wed, 14 May 2025 11:59:53 +0200
